Environmental Responsability
We believe that we are responsible and accountable for the end life of each product we produce, which is why every garment is 100% natural, renewable, biodegradable and completely free of plastic pollutants such as acrylic, nylon and polyester. We also only use natural fibers in our tags, products boxes, marketing materials and packaging. No yarn goes to waste, as we use 98% of the yarn we order to produce our products, and any yarn left over is used to sew on labels and attach hang tags.
Organic Mono-fibres
Every DINADI product is knitted exclusively in 100% organic mono-fibres. We strongly believe that we are responsible to consider the end life cycle for each product that we produce. By producing using organic mono-fibres we’re able to attain circularity since every product is fully organic and fully compostableat the end of it’s life cycle.
Slow Fashion
The slower pace of hand knitting and crocheting has really helped reframe how we design and produce garments. Our approach to slow fashion is to design thoughtfully and with longevity in mind. Making a product “better” means making better choices throughout the entire supply chain ensuring that we’re respecting people, animals and the environment.
Zero waste
We, as a principle, never throw away yarn. This
principle guides our production and design processes
as we look for ways to minimize and use up production
spill. Products that do not past our quality controls are
unravelled and the yarn is re-purposed. When we do
have spill we then design products to use up this spill
which has given birth to our zero waste collection.
No Plastics
Our goal is to avoid using plastics at all costs. We choose our labels and packaging with this goal in mind. Plastics are so prevalent in packaging today but we’ve found that when we put a little extra time and thought into the process, we’ve been amazed at the beautiful organic labelling and packaging options that can be found.
Hand Knitting
We love hand knitting! All of our hats and mittens and many of our scarfs and sweaters are knitted by hand in the homes of our employees. No machines are used in the process. This not only provides flexible job opportunities for our makers but also saves on electricity, decreases waste and produces beautiful and functional products without seams.
Animal Welfare
We believe our responsibilities extend to the animals that provide the yarn fibres we use. We choose to only work with suppliers that are respecting animal welfare and are free from animal cruelty. We believe that when animals are treated with dignity and are raised in an environmentally sustainable way, that wool is one of the most sustainable fibres available.
