What we're made of.
From our mailing bags, to the garment bag that protects our clothing, and the textiles themselves, we've tried to use the most sustainable materials we can.
This means recycled and recyclable papers, second-life fibres, and, (nearly - its next on our wishlist) a carbon offsetting shipping partner.
Some of our clothes have seams that can be fixed by hand, with needle and thread. It's a small thing, but clothes that can be repaired should last longer - we're trying
to buck the trend of built-in obsolescence that is rife in the traditional sportswear industry. Read more about Dryad fixability here.
Here's an ever-evolving breakdown of the materials we use, that includes their basic composition and origin.
