PEOPLE
Bee & Alpacas fabrics are sourced from excess, deadstock and discarded textiles of mid-scale contract manufacturers. They work with a small number of suppliers who they have an open and trusting relationship with, and regularly conduct visits to ensure good work practice. All of their factories strictly prohibit child labour and employ regular employment policies.
PLANET
Bee & Alpaca handpick the materials that they believe can be upcycled in order to stop them going to waste. All fabrics are carefully selected to meet their sustainable production and quality criteria.
The huge scale of textile waste in the fast fashion industry means that there is plenty of fabric left over for businesses like theirs to bring back to life - although they still hope that a more sustainable fashion industry reduces the vast amount of deadstock!
They use direct print technology where possible to minimise water waste compared to traditional dyeing methods.
