Sustainable Fashion

Our Commitment to Responsible Denim

At Bear & Birches, we believe that creating sustainable denim requires a collaborative effort. We're committed to partnering with suppliers who share our values and prioritize environmental and social responsibility. This allows us to offer premium denim with a conscience.

GRS-100: We source materials from suppliers having Global Recycle Standard certifications, which track and verify the use of recycled materials within the supply chain.
GOTS: We prioritize organic cotton by sourcing from suppliers certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Organic Content Standard (OCS).
OEKO-TEX: We work with suppliers whose materials are certified to be free from harmful substances, ensuring safety for people and the environment.
Cradle to Cradle (Recycle): We aim to support circularity by sourcing from suppliers who are aligned with Cradle-to-Cradle principles.

For stretch, we look for options like Eco Lycra or Lycra.

When we utilize polyester, we seek out options like Repreve, a recycled fiber made from PET bottles, to help reduce plastic waste.

We prioritize denim crafted using Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) cotton and organic cotton, often blended with recycled materials and post-consumer waste (PCW) or pre-consumer waste (PIW) to conserve resources.
