At Fabricated Keepsakes, we have done our research and decided to use Bella+Canvas apparel for several reasons! This company stood out above all others, because their goal has always been to manufacture the best garments possible, in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
Bella+Canvas is committed to the ethical and sustainable production of apparel by reducing their environmental impact in the following ways:
- Water reduction – The Bella+Canvas manufacturing process uses 7x less water than the average clothing manufacturer. Their water is filtered to be recycled and reused again and again.
- Zero-waste – Every piece of fabric cut at Bella+Canvas is used. Smaller bits of fabric are used to make baby bibs. The rest of the fabric scraps are used for stuffing in upholstery.
- Energy reduction – Bella+Canvas harnesses solar power to run their sewing and cutting facilities.
- Ethical production – Bella+Canvas is a 100% no-sweatshop company. In fact, their LA facilities have received platinum level certification from W.R.A.P. (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production). This is an independent group of social compliance experts that makes sure their factories are certified safe, lawful, humane, and ethical.
Bella+Canvas apparel is unbelievably soft, and made to wear time and time again! They are the comfiest and warmest sweaters I have found to date. Anyone who has purchased these sweaters from my shop will tell you the same thing!
