THE EARTH COLLECTION
PHILOSOPHY

OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Earth Collection is based on a strong
philosophy of producing natural fibre clothing and accessories
with respect for the environment. The Earth Collection uses a
range of 100% natural fabrics such as cotton, silk noil, ramie,
linen and hemp and all fabrics are dyed with dyes that are free
of heavy metals and thus friendly on the environment.
Accessories such as buttons are made of natural materials such
coconut, corozo nut or bamboo. Our swing tags are made of
recycled paper and even the ink used these is water based. You
can read more about our production procedures
here.
EU FLOWER (The European Eco-label)
In 2008 The Earth Collection was was awarded the coveted EU Flower for its commitment to the
environment by guaranteeing a limited use of substances harmful
to the environment or to health in its cotton production, as
well as reduced water and air pollution, and minimal textile
shrink and colour resistance. The Earth Collection has worked hard for many years to build
and sustain excellent relationships with our factories in China.
People wearing our clothes now have the EU’s guarantee that they
are among the most benign to the environment and to their health.
OUR STORY
What started in 1993 as an idea based on production of
environmentally friendly T-shirts has developed into a major
brand name and clothing concept producing and selling a wide range of products made
with the basic philosophy of respect for the environment and for
the people we work with. Today The Earth Collection is sold in
several hundred shops in more than 20 different countries around
the world. In Australia The Earth Collection has grown into
six concept shops since 2001 and our products are also sold in
more than 40 different retail outlets around the country today.
It is our goal to continue to grow the distribution of The Earth
Collection in Australia and we look forward to welcoming you in
one of our concept shops soon.
A STEP TOWARDS A BETTER TOMORROW
One of our slogans is 'a step towards a better tomorrow' which
relates mostly to how we approach production and distribution of
clothing in an environmentally friendly way. However The Earth
Collection is also involved in various benevolent causes
worldwide including
charity projects in Africa. In Togo in Africa The Earth
Collection has been involved with several projects including the
construction of a school, a kindergarten as well as new water
wells.
