Everyday quality
This fabric does the job for daily wear. Not premium, not bad — it's the middle of the road. At least it's easy to care for.
Cotton biodegrades in 1-5 months. When you're done with this, it returns to the earth — not the ocean.
Dryer heat destroys spandex/elastane over time. Your leggings and stretchy clothes will last 2x longer if you skip the dryer.
Microplastic Risk
LOWOnly 3% synthetic content. The natural fibers dominate, keeping microplastic release very low.
💡 Low synthetic content means minimal shedding. Wash cold for best results.
