Sustainability

Sustainable and Ethical

Our garment production is slow and intentional, so we create less waste. By sacrificing high volume turnover, the result is higher quality pieces that last longer and wear well.  We believe that all things are energy, so we strive to ensure that the energy passed down in the production process of making a piece of clothing is of a high vibration all the way through to the customer.

‘Our pieces are made to be long loved and passed down, not thrown out.’

We adore kindness in people and our planet deserves our utmost kindness, so we have chosen to work sustainably using 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres as it is the most respected and rigorous certification.

'Not only does it protect the environment, but we protect those who work to produce it and we protect those who wear it.'

It is a stringent certification that guarantees cotton is organically grown without the use of genetically modified seeds or any harmful chemical products. It ensures traceability of products from the field to the final customer, including transaction certificates at each and every stage of production.

Crucially, it covers not only raw materials and production but also labour rights, the health and wellbeing of everyone in the supply chain, water treatment and chemical use. The people who work on KYIO products are from local communities and industries and are provided with a safe and respectable working environment.
