Sustainability
Resources
The process of producing sustainable fabrics starts with the procurement or cultivation of raw materials,
which is done with social responsibility, ecological balance, and resource efficiency in mind.
When a fabric demonstrates that it sourced its materials responsibly and cultivates them, it receives its
first “one leaf” in our resource rating system. This leaf represents the beginning of a journey that has a
beneficial influence at every turn.
LET'S SEW SOME GOOD: WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.
Our Mission in Sustainability
We provide you with beautiful textiles that are more considerate
of the environment and the workers who make them.
Our top priorities are obtaining textiles that are created ethically and sustainably, with a particular emphasis on artisanal, deadstock, organic, recycled, eco-certified, and fair-trade materials.
It is our honor to respect the histories, customs, labor, and creativity of the hands who created each piece of cloth we carry and to carry on their legacy.

The Reason It Is Important
We can lessen our reliance on quick fashion as
sewers. But in our search for sewing-related
fabrics, we frequently rely on a sector of the
economy that is one of the world’s worst
polluters. Let’s craft a novel.
By sourcing fashion materials that are ethically produced, require less water and chemicals, and entail less energy-intensive production processes, we are dedicated to having a positive impact on the future of our world.

Index of Core Fabrics Sustainability
Index of Core Fabrics Sustainability
Every fabric in our collection is rated using our exclusive leaf
rating system since we are dedicated to transparency in
our operations to help you make wise choices. The life cycle
of a fabric is divided into five stages, which comprise our
Sustainability Index: Resources, Manufacturing,
Transportation, Usage, and End of Life. A fabric receives “one
leaf” at every phase of its lifecycle if it satisfies our
sustainability requirements.
A five-leaf rating is given to fabrics that meet all stages with the least amount of environmental impact. A four-leaf fabric is still fantastic (like our organic knits created here in Montreal) but finding the ideal five-leaf material is challenging (we’re still searching for a domestically produced linen, for example).

Manufacturing
Sustainable manufacturing practices are approaches
and techniques used in the textile industry to minimize
negative environmental and social impacts
associated with fabric production. These practices aim
to reduce pollution and waste while ensuring ethical
working conditions and social responsibility.
When it comes to our fabric suppliers, transparency and traceability are the cornerstones of our partnerships. We firmly believe that transparency about the entire production process builds a foundation of trust and fosters responsible choices.
