Madehere.Wornanywhere.
Proudly printed on high-quality garments supplied by eco-friendly local partners, supporting South African business and sustainable practices. Here is exactly how, step by step, and who does it.
- 1
The blank
Organic or recycled-blend cotton blanks from South African mills and cut-make-trim workshops. We buy what already exists locally before we import anything.

The dye
Small-batch garment dyeing for the pink, lavender and canvas colourways. Shades vary between drops on purpose; nothing is over-produced to match.

The print
Screen-printed with water-based inks, cured at low temperature. No PVC plastisol. The statement, the sleeve mark, nothing else.

The pack
Paper mailers and a die-cut sticker in every parcel. No polybags. Orders ship from one Western Cape location.

Why local
Every rand spent on a South African blank keeps a mill running and a machinist paid. It also keeps the supply chain short enough to walk, which is the only kind we can honestly call transparent.
Why eco-conscious, not eco-perfect
Cotton is thirsty. Printing uses energy. We choose the lower-impact option at each step, publish the choice, and improve it drop by drop rather than claim a finished answer.
What we will publish
- Supplier names and locations for each drop, once contracts are confirmed.
- Unit cost breakdown: blank, dye, print, packaging, payment fees, contribution to the grant pool.
- Total units produced and sold, so nobody has to wonder about waste.
