Dharma Bums
Dharma Bums believes in better tomorrow investing for smarter sustainability. 25 % of their products are eco-certified, and all of their products have the Bluesign certificate. The Bluesign system aims to find solutions for sustainable textile production by eliminating harmful substances at each step of the supply chain, and approving chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safe for the environment, the workers and customers.
Dharma Bums is working conscientiously to continue to reduce their footprint.
Dharma Bums is continuously searching for fabrics that can tick both the ethical and sustainable boxes. Currently, they use recycled nylon, organic cotton, and bio-textile modal (made from rayon and viscose) as well as biodegradable fabrics such as Modal and Pima Cotton.
Lenzing Modal®, one of Dharma Bums' biodegradable fabrics is a soft and luxurious fabric derived from sustainably sourced raw beech wood. Modal fibres can be reverted back into nature as they are certified as compostable and biodegradable.
Dharma Bums speciality, organic Pima Cotton, is luxurious cotton made from extra-long fibres, meaning this all-natural cotton is more durable and softer than regular cotton. With a silk-like handle and luxe lustre, it has an extra-refined quality.
On a mission to expand the use of bio-textile modal and biodegradable fabrics, Dharma Bums' colour and printing also have minimal impact. All their prints are produced with eco-friendly, sublimation printing: less water, electricity and waste. All paper is recycled, dyes are non-toxic, and the water they use is cleaned up to 40 times to protect against pollution.
Since the beginning, Dharma Bums' vision for each unique garment was to empower both people who wear them and people who make them. From origination to creation, Dharma Bums has an unwavering commitment to ethical supply chains and quality in every stitch.
They have built relationships with small Australian factories that believe in sustainable production. They are committed to quality and, importantly, are ethically certified. As Dharma Bums have grown, they have brought in new partners that share the same values, all certified by internationally independent bodies who audit their operations and are all BSCI accredited.

It serves as a benchmark for companies using recycled materials while also ensuring that environmental and chemical requirements are met in production. As well the Organic Content Standard 100 (OCS 100), standard that guarantees the exact proportion of the biological components of a product can be identified and traced through the value chain.

Vyayama
The ancient Ayurvedic texts describe Vyayama as a movement designed to stabilise and strengthen the body. Vyayama activewear is based on this holistic approach with the intention of providing a natural alternative to synthetic activewear. They believe that the products we use should be held to the same standards that we hold for ourselves. Mindfulness should inspire quality, beauty, and joy, and so do their products.
Vyayama uses only natural or noble fibres that are OEKOTEX® certified safe for the wearer, sourced sustainably and made ethically. Currently, they have fabrics such as TENCEL®, Micromodal®, and CUPRO®.
Vyayama TENCEL® is crafted in Europe from sustainably farmed eucalyptus. It is Eco-Awarded and Certified Non-Toxic, kind to your skin and kind to the Earth.
Micromodal® is sourced from Beechwood grown sustainably in Europe in natural Beechwood forests. Beech trees are especially ecological as they grow by "rejuvenation", which means that the trees propagate themselves and no artificial irrigation or planting is required, making Beechwood forests a completely natural and sustainable source of raw material.
CUPRO® is extremely smooth and silky to touch cotton-like fabric. It is a regenerated cellulose fibre derived from cotton linter. Cotton linter is the short downy fibre that enfolds the cotton seeds. The unused silky fibres are not used in cotton production, meaning fibres that are normally unused can be transformed into this beautiful resource. Cupro is hypoallergenic, anti-static and resistant to stretching out of shape at higher temperatures and can be machine washed and dried.
All of Vyayamas fabrics are the third-party tested and certified safe for the wearer and the environment by the European Oeko-Tex Standard 100. The certification ensures that no harmful toxins from either fibres or the production process could possibly be absorbed by the skin while wearing.
Vyayama is partnered only with professionals who truly believe in responsibly produced, sustainable products and whose teams are protected by unions and strict health and safety standards. They are manufacturing their products in Portugal with a team that shares the same unique vision. Their dye-houses have clean internal water treatments and can in no way create any negative impact on the local environment. All fabrics are knitted in the same area as their garment production to reduce transportation impact on the environment.
Yoga Democracy
Yoga Democracy is a brand putting a lot of thought into where their fabric comes from and what it is made of, but also how it’s going to make you look and feel. Texture, shape retention and sweat-wicking also play a big part in the design. This label from Arizona is producing their garments in their own factory empowering many local lives and especially women. Yoga Democracy aims to produce 95% of their products using only recycled fibres.
Yoga Democracy has its own fully integrated in-house production process that aims to reduce the water impact and carbon footprint and creates a safe and fair working environment. Yoga Democracy wants to offer consumer-friendly prices with worker-friendly costs. Super low prices often mean costs which we as consumers don’t see. 80% of garment workers globally are women earning ridiculously low wages having far-reaching consequences. All Yoga Democracy's workers earn at least 20-25% higher salary than the recommended local base salary. Their prices are a fair reflection of the costs of their production, and they want to offer people the right to earn a living believing that their happy employee's input can also be seen in the quality of their products.
To save natural resources, Yoga Democracy is using mostly luxury Italian fabric made of recycled PET bottles and nylon fabrics made of post-consumer recycled fishnets. The use of recycled materials reduces the use of oil, reuses waste, and cuts out the need for the virgin polyester industry, and is amazingly durable and opaque fabric.
