The Science & The Soul
The Science
With over 97% of their clothing created in California, Amour Vert’s production cycle is sustainable from beginning to end. They partner directly with mills to develop sustainable and long-lasting fabric. All of their fabric and dyes, including their TENCEL Modal, Ethical Wool, and Mulberry Silk, are free of pesticides, non-toxic, and made out of raw materials. Plus, all product styles and colors are made in limited quantities to ensure that they are not overproducing and contributing to waste, which means you have to purchase quickly before products sell out. Even the packaging is sustainable; compostable bags made out of recycled materials and printed with soy-based inks.
Finally, Amour Vert partners with ThredUp to help customers recycle clothes they no longer wear. Each order includes a Thredup return label, so you can recycle your clothes, rather than throw them out. With each purchase, shoppers also earn credits toward their next piece of Amour Vert’s sustainable fashion.
The Soul
For too long, we’ve been complacent wearing clothes without knowing who actually created them, where our products came from, and how they were made. Amour Vert is committed to transparency and adheres to a strict standard of ethical labor practices with their factories.
On Amour Vert’s website, customers can learn about each factory producing the products they shop. The reported information includes a profile each factory owner, the number of employees, the gender ratio, the location, and the origin story of the factory itself.
Amour Vert champions sustainability — not just in how they make their products, but also through the ways they give back. In collaboration with American Forests, Amour Vert plants a tree for every t-shirt purchased. So far, they have planted over 105K trees, and based on how quickly their products are selling, we’re certain they’ll plant a lot more.
