READ MORE ABOUT OUR MATERIALS
Cooper Collection is made with organic cotton and recycled materials.
Cooper Collection
We're committed to reducing our environmental footprint and making thoughtful material choices. Introducing the new Cooper Collection, crafted with a conscious blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester.
Organic agriculture contributes significantly to the maintenance of biodiversity. This cotton is farmed with no harmful pesticides which helps sustain the health of ecosystems, soil and people. This helps us create a future where we can continue to grow and harvest cotton without harming the world, we live in.
Recycled Polyester is commonly made from recycled bottles, which gives them a greener endgame than going to a landfill. Utilizing Recycled Polyester instead of Virgin Polyester uses less energy, water and CO2.
Our activewear collections are made majority out of recycled materials.
Our Activewear
We prioritize your well-being and the health of our planet by creating fabrics that benefit both. Our activewear is categorized into Restore, Renew, and Recover, ensuring a complete range from warm-up to cool-down while contributing positively to the planet.
Choose sustainability confidently—over 90% of our activewear is made from organic and recycled materials. The remaining percentage includes essential fabrics designed to enhance construction and elevate performance. Explore the positive impact of our activewear towards a better and more vibrant future.
By joining LWG, we contribute to the drive for sustainable and responsible leather production.
Our Leather
As a conscious brand, we recognize the environmental impact of the leather industry, which is linked to overgrazing, land use issues, and deforestation, leading to biodiversity loss and hindering the soil's carbon-capturing ability.
That's why we're proud to align ourselves with the Leather Working Group (LWG), an organization making significant strides in the industry. Committed to positive change, LWG focuses on improving leather manufacturing practices and fostering transparency.
By supporting the LWG, we join a movement dedicated to promoting sustainable and responsible leather production. Together, we contribute to a future where the leather industry harmonizes with environmental well-being.
