Down to Earth is a new brand that specialises in bamboo,linen,natural fibre clothing

1. The Down to Earth brand was conceived in 2013 when founders, Mace and Revi, recognised that current fashion utilises too much synthetic and non-sustainable fibres. There needed to be a change so they researched viable fabric alternatives until they unearthed the idealsolution. • Both Mace (a vegan), and Revi are passionate advocates for ethical and fair trade practises and equally avid about protecting our fragile environment. And so “Down to Earth”, our vision for ethical fashion wasborn. • Our essential ingredients to making up the formula for our Down to Earth brandis: • Natural Fibres &Sustainability • EthicalManufacturing • GivingBack • Natural Fibres &Sustainability • To become part of ourbrand: • All clothing will be composed of a majority of naturalfibres; • Organic fibres will be used whereverpossible; • The fabrics will be derived from eco-friendly resources, such as sustainably fibrecrops; • Quality workmanship will be key to ensure the clothing sustains several seasons ofwear • We proudly manufacture using certified organic bamboo with reactive dyes, which are highly coloured organicsubstances. • Our Linen blend contains 55% natural linen blended with a semi-natural viscose softening the material and allowing it to drapebeautifully. • We are currently investigating using OXO biodegradable plastic for our individual plastic garment bags. Being biodegradable will further reduce our environmentalfootprint. • We purchase only re-purposed boxes for forwarding large quantities of garments to our stockists and distributors. Recycling saves trees and reduces our impact on our preciousenvironment. • EthicalManufacturing • Down to Earth uses the ETI (Ethical Trading Initiative) as our guiding principle in ensuring we manufacture ethically. Key factors include ensuringthat: • Working conditions are safe andhygienic • Child Labour is notused • Employment is freely chosen and a living wage ispaid • Working hours are not excessive and regular employment isprovided • No harsh or inhumane treatment ispermitted • Down to Earth personally travels to our factory on a quarterly basis to ensure these principles are strictly abided by. Amongst other things, we review fire regulations, ensure the workplace is well lit and well ventilated, and that regular breaks are afforded to theworkers.

2. We now know many of the workers by name and enjoy discussing not only their work but learning more about them and their family life during eachvisit. 3) GivingBack Down to Earth strongly believes that manufacturing in a third-world country such as Thailand, not only assists in improving the quality of life of our workers, but gives us the opportunity to give back to their community. For us, taking it that one step further is a key part of our company values. Down to Earth has dedicated a portion of our profits to the children at Mercy Centre Australia in Bangkok, Thailand. This is a network of 23 pre-schools (caring for children ages 2 to 6) in slums all over Bangkok. An estimated 55,000 children have graduated from these centres. Besides donating funds, we sponsor-a-child, a young boy named Guy. A highlight of our quarterly visits to Bangkok is spending time at the centre and visitingGuy. Our heartfelt thanks to you, our customers, for supporting Down to Earth and helping us to make our world a better and more sustainable place for all of us to live! Together we show that fashion can be beautiful to wear and can do beautiful things for our world and the people in ittoo.
