The Ethical Silk Company makes responsibly harvested mulberry silk goods. Mulberry silk is extracted after the moth has left the cocoon, leaving the moth unharmed. This kind method results in a beautiful matte lustre. Everything is designed in Ireland and made in India by fair trade tailor Mehera Shaw. Block printed products are hand dyed with low impact, AZO free dyes. A water filtration system removes residue so it can be recycled and reused for fabric washing, and a rainwater catchment system reduces water use. Production is limited to short and repeat runs. Careful pattern placement minimises waste. And older stock is repurposed into smaller items. 10% of profits are donated to Jeevan Jyothi AIDS Centre in India and Focus Ireland, a charity that works to prevent people becoming, remaining or returning to homelessness.

At Warp + Weft, mindful manufacturing is in the "jeans" of this family-owned denim company. First off, they operate an eco-friendly mill in Pakistan that's powered by solar panels and uses way less water than traditional denim manufacturers. This number may shock you, but a pair of jeans made the traditional way uses 1,500 gallons of water, while a pair of Warp + Weft jeans only uses 10 gallons of water! If that weren't enough, they recycle 98% of the water they use and avoid the typical environmentally harsh bleaching process by instead using Dry Ozone technology. They source cotton that is certified by Recover recycled cotton, Better Cotton Institute and Cotton USA. They use Dystar Liquid Indigo, a pre-reduced dye that needs less water and minimizes harmful byproducts. Warp + Weft ensures ethical practices, fair wages, reasonable hours and positive working conditions. Their clothing line is size inclusive.
