FootprintWe measure the sustainability footprint from the beginning of the production process to the end of a product’s life. We’re committed to creating products that have a positive impact on the people who create them and minimizing the impact on the planet.We aim to be open and transparent about the practices and are screened members of the Fair Trade Federation.SUSTAINABLE MATERIALSWe are dedicated to sourcing thoughtfully: we use materials that will not harm people or the planet. Recognizing the negative impact of pesticides on biodiversity and the health of farming communities, we use durable natural fibers, organic cotton when we can, and non-toxic dyes.ETHICAL PRODUCTIONWe believe in nurturing economic sustainability by collaborating with partners in India who pay fair and living wages, create a safe and healthy work environment and invest in the overall wellbeing of the artisans. Sustainable change is about going beyond fair wages. That’s why we provide the artisan partners with opportunities for community development and to further their skills.TRANSPORTATIONWe recognize the importance of minimizing emissions that contribute to climate change. We work to minimize the transportation footprint by:

sourcing materials from areas local to where we produce

purchasing carbon offsets to compensate for Passion Lilie’s shipping from India to the U.S. and to the customers by purchasing carbon offsets.

encouraging the customers to purchase carbon offsets at checkout to further reduce the carbon footprint

PRODUCT USEWe create high-quality, timeless products, and we educate the customers on how to care for their purchases to extend the life cycle of the product. We are against overconsumption and fast fashion. We understand that not everyone can afford sustainable fashion, which is why we try to offer the best price possible and run sales when we can—so the products are more accessible to customers of all economic backgrounds.END OF LIFEAll of the products are made from natural fibers and are biodegradable. We hope to soon offer a reseller program to create a closed-loop production process. Until then, to avoid your garments ending up in a landfill, we recommend reselling or donating your unwanted garments to a friend or a trusted organization. If you happen to tear or stain your Passion Lilie garments to the point that they are unwearable, we suggest cutting them into rags or, for the creative people, upcycle them into something new!
