Silk Scarf in Rose

As a sustainable fashion brand, sustainability in our production processes is super important to us and to our customers.

We reexamine and finesse our manufacturing process to mind our carbon footprint and our environmental impact. We're willing to discuss our micro supply chain transparency and ethical practices. It's important for us to rise up against the fast fashion industry. Read on to learn about the Modern Shibori clothing brand and its sustainable practices:

1. Organic Fabrics for eco-fashion and sustainable clothing

We use GOTS-certified natural fibers such as organic cotton, organic linen, and OEKO-TEX Mulberry silk in our supply chain. GOTS-certified fabrics ensure that no harmful chemicals, toxins, or synthetic fertilizers are leached into the ground, reducing harmful environmental impact. Read more about the natural fibers in our fabrics. Curious why organic cotton clothing matters for you and the planet?

2. Water Conservation to lessen our impact on the environment

We use low amounts of water as our pieces are made one at a time. We reuse natural dye vats until they're fully exhausted. There are no toxic chemicals used and we're very conscious of our environmental footprint.

3. Recycled fabrics and Upcycled Materials in our supply chain

We use eco conscious packaging that’s made from recycled material, and is sometimes compostable. We also save our upcycled and recycled fabrics to make jackets and tote bags out of these materials. 

Read more about the sustainable benefits of upcycling clothing and why it's a great sustainable fashion movement.

4. Lifecycle of a Slow Fashion Garment

As a sustainable fashion brand, we're very concerned about the life cycle of a garment and encourage our customers to keep their garments and recycled fabrics in use and out of landfill, reducing their impact on the environment. We also support consuming fashion with social and environmental concerns at the forefront.

5. No Micro Plastics, fight fast fashion brands

We never use synthetic fiber reactive dyes or synthetic fabrics. We only use natural materials in our garments, reducing our environmental impact.

6. Low Carbon Footprint and Supply Chain Transparency

Our supply chain is hyper-local focused in the SF Bay Area, keeping our carbon emissions per garment as low as possible and our dollars invested in our local economy. We support a carbon-neutral fashion industry.

Modern Shibori leads with a conscious environmental perspective first whether making decisions around fashion production, using innovative materials, sustainable fibers, workers earning fair wages, moving towards circular fashion.
