Our Production Process, Sustainability, & Ethics

Did you know that 85% of all textiles produced in the fashion industry end up in landfills? This is largely due to overproduction, which happens when companies make products without necessarily having customers ready to buy. They keep large inventories and often do not sell all the products they store, so these extra clothing items that are not sold are oftentimes discarded. What's more is that 1 out of 5 clothing items produced will reach the landfill without having been worn once.

 

To combat this problem, we use an on-demand production model. When you order from our site, our manufacturer immediately receives the order information and proceeds to make the product within a couple of days. Under normal circumstances, the order is shipped out within a week and usually takes up to another week to arrive at its final destination.

 

All of our designs are added to our products in either the United States, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Australia, Japan, or Latvia (depending on customer location & availability of supplies and materials), and is done so by workers who are paid a fair wage for the country and economy that they live in. You may see on our labels that the materials of some products are sourced in traditionally cheap-labor countries, but this does not mean that the makers are treated and / or compensated unfairly. We have partnered exclusively with a manufacturer that is 100% sweatshop- and child-labor-free & which is certified by WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production). This certifies workers are treated ethically and are paid a fair wage.

 

We appreciate you taking the time to learn more about our ethos as a company. We encourage you to support Breeze Apparel and other companies that source their products ethically and deploy an environmentally friendly business model. If you have questions, you may always contact us at mgmt@breeze-apparel.com, @breezeapparel on WhatsApp, or send us a direct message on social media.
