when you buy a piece from us, you are automatically welcomed into our circular product ecosystem. through this ecosystem, our goal is to take full responsibility throughout the entire life cycle of the things we make — this includes empowering you and helping you to take full responsibility with us. basically, it means that you can resell any of our pieces you purchased back to us, so we can then sell it to someone else and on and on and on so we can keep everything we make in use for as long as possible! similarly, if any of our pieces start to show wear or fall apart over time, we will help you figure out ways to mend and/or re-use the piece. you are not obliged to partake in our circular ecosystem, but the service is always here for you. to keep track of each of our pieces throughout their entire life cycle, we assign a distinctive circular ecosystem id # to each of our pieces. this id # is located on the label of each of our pieces and will also always be available to view on this website via the product page of each piece. please visit our faq page for more details on our circular ecosystem.
care: do not dry clean. we recommend that you wash this by hand as often as possible. this is not only the most environmentally friendly way of caring for our pieces, but it will also help to extend this piece’s life. we understand hand washing may not be an option for everyone. for machine washing, we recommend washing in cold water, on a delicate cycle and only with items in similar colors. we also recommend using a non-phosphate detergent for both hand washing and machine washing. please note while we aim to utilize already existing materials that are made from natural fibers, that is not always possible, so some of our pieces are made from man-made fibers. when washed, man-made fibers release micro-fibers that are harmful and disruptive to humans and the earth. for this reason, we also highly recommend washing our pieces with a guppyfriend washing bag.
