FABRIC AND DYES
Our new 2023 activewear collections comprise of compression performance fabric that was developed using REPREVE®, an eco-friendly green fiber made from the recycling of discarded single use bottles that were destined for landfill. Constructed with sustainability, support, squat proof coverage and comfort in mind and also UPF 50+. Sustainability: OEKO-TEX® | REACH | GRS
Known for their natural comfort, TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers have gained a commendable reputation for their award-winning closed loop production process, which transforms wood pulp into cellulosic fibers with high resource efficiency and low environmental impact.
We strive to ensure that the fabric production process minimises impact on the environment. We love that our first collections are OekoTex 100 certified. This ensures that raw materials, intermediate and end products at all stages of production are free of harmful substances. You can find more information on OEKO-TEX 100 here.

There’s only one thing we’re more passionate about than our business… the planet! This is why we’re making an effort to use sustainable practices in every part of our business. We’ve teamed up with CarbonClick, a New Zealand company making it easy for people and businesses to help fight climate change.

We’ll be making our own contributions, and changing our practices to reduce our carbon footprint. We hope you’ll join us in creating a sustainable future, by choosing to CarbonClick with your purchase.

PACKAGING
LIMITED PRODUCTS RELEASED AND REPURPOSED FABRIC
At SN we ensure that all our pieces developed are limited edition pieces to ensure that we are never over producing and any offcuts created out of the sewing process are given to childcare centres for art and play.
We also use repurposed dead stock fabric from other designers to help do our part by diverting this excess fabric from landfills.
