Organic Cotton

We choose organic cotton for its softer footprint on the planet. Organic cotton standards set requirements around how cotton is grown and processed, with the aim of supporting more responsible agricultural practices.

Responsible Wool Standard (RWS)

Our RWS wool comes from certified supply chains that address animal welfare and land management practices. The standard helps provide greater assurance that wool is sourced in accordance with recognised requirements for responsible sheep farming.

Recycled Fibres

We believe existing materials deserve thoughtful consideration. Recycled fibres can help reduce reliance on virgin raw materials by giving previously used materials a new purpose. Where possible, we look to incorporate recycled fibres into our collections as part of our ongoing commitment to more considered material choices.

Responsible Manufacturing

We believe the people behind our pieces matter just as much as the materials we choose.

We value manufacturing partners who prioritise safe working environments, fair treatment, workers’ rights and responsible labour practices. Initiatives such as Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) and the Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) support greater accountability and visibility into working conditions across the apparel supply chain.

As South of Summer grows, we are committed to making informed decisions about who we work with and supporting a more responsible approach to garment production. Because thoughtful fashion should consider not only what we make, but the people who make it.
