They are committed to improving their manufacturing ethics in environment, transparency and community. In terms of environment, they have begun by implementing better energy sources; they have one wind power plant, three photovoltaic plants, and two hydraulic augers. Together, these forms of green energy save 8 million kWh hours of what would otherwise be from conventional power. They have also replaced all lighting with LED systems, which are the most efficient.

Cotton is a natural plant fiber that is favored for its softness, breathability and comfort. It grows in warm climates on 6 continents. High quality cotton is easy to care for, due to its ability to withstand washing, detergents and heat.

Cashmere is one of the most luxurious wools, with desirable drape, softness and wrinkle resistance. It is up to three times more insulating than regular wool, with lofty fibers that can be tightly knit into warm and lightweight fabric. Like all wool, it wicks moisture and allows skin to breathe. Cashmere is considered hypoallergenic, since it doesn’t have lanolin. While more delicate than other wool, cashmere garments will not lose their shape if properly cared for. This is due to the fiber’s natural stretch that allows garment to move with you and recover.
