Therefore we analyse & choose those less harmful ones. We are using textile fibres made by leaves, plastic bottles ,bamboo etc etc.
Labelling is also an interesting one, as many brands place an “Encyclopaedia’s” size of tags & labels attached to the garments on the outside and/or the inside of the garments.
Most of the times the inside ones get cut off because rubbing on the skin and been a nuisance and the outside ones are usually ripped & binned as soon as the garment is received. Therefore what we do is to place a little and small bar code sticker in each garment, where our clients can scan to get all the required information about washing and garment’s origins. We only the size label and the composition of the jersey on the inside.
Other important matter we provide to our clients is the wash bag which all garments comes with. Sometimes we asked what is it for? Well, if you go back one step up and scan the label above mentioned it will tell you about the wash bag. The bag has many beneficial aspects for the nature and for our clients. You might wonder why!!
Let me explain to you the reasons, starting with the client benefits. If the garments are washed in those bags, those will prevent of any damages that might occur during the washing caused by Velcro, washing machine drum(people usually never check the inside of it), metal bits from other garments i.e. bra clips, zips from other garments, etc etc.
The most important is the nature’s benefit and is a crucial one because will help our eco system and the marine life. Why ? During our activities we sweat out all our toxins, we ride on roads which most of the times in UK or other countries are dirty full of pollution. Those micro fibres netted wash bags try to capture those microparticle entering the ecosystem during the wash. Obviously those methods help minimising the impact to nature, but we can not guarantee “users” behaviours.
Finally, our products are most likely to be delivered by one of our cycling friendly couriers, this might include myself.
