All of our packaging is made from 100% recycled material - from the poly bag mailers to the tissue paper we use. Most items are shipped via re-usable mailer bags, as it is the lightest option, meaning the lowest carbon footprint.
Draw & Fade is a proud member of the 1% for the Planet organization where 1% of total sales is donated directly to an environmental nonprofit that helps drive positive change for the planet every year.
Our manufacturing partner works with local domestic material providers to develop apparel with the lowest possible carbon footprint in the USA. Their ethical and sustainable business practices include:
“Ethical labor and fair wages on every link of the supply chain for the vast majority of our clothing production using sustainable U.S.A. made materials.”
More than 80% of our products are made from sustainable, eco-conscious fabrics. Whether it’s recycled polyester or upcycled materials, we are working to ensure our apparel is the highest level of sustainability and quality.
So what makes up the price of goods?
Once we decide what we want a season's collection to consist of, we then create tech packs (aka blueprints) for those items. From there, our production partner develops prototypes until every detail is ready to bring to market.
Once the item is approved, our manufacturing partner cuts and sews the remainder of our order. After all the items are created, the team will attach all trims (hangtags, care labels, etc.), wash the items and then fold and place in our poly bags.
Because the majority of our fabric is made from sustainable, eco conscious material, we are paying a premium for the price per yard.
Our knitwear is produced overseas which means we have to pay for transit and import fees.
