This is where we start.

Sustainable Fashion, Ethical Fashion, Slow Fashion, whatever you want to call it, it’s a work in progress.  As a start-up company, we are able to build a responsible workflow and supply chain.  We are deliberate about how and where we source all the materials that go into your kid’s eco-friendly outfit pack.  We are also focused on creating decent work and providing a living wage to all our contractors.

Why?  Because that’s the way it should be.

In order to fit parents sustainable lifestyle plan, our garments are made ethically.  Sourced from second-hand sweaters, unraveled, and knit into essential sweater sets for kids.  No new cotton and no new plastic are used in our eco-friendly manufacturing.  Our sustainable goals include low and on-demand production, in small batches, and as they are ordered.  All our labor is done right here in the usa.  learn more about eddys brand here.
