Our Fabric & Materials
Our garments are made of 100% natural fibers - Silk, which is considered as sustainable fiber, which is a renewable resource, can biodegrade, and uses less water, chemicals, and energy than many other fibers. Silk is also an organic fiber with a relatively low carbon footprint, low soil and low land impact.
As in everything we do, we carefully consider where we source our materials from. This is why our products are made from only the highest quality, ethically sourced silk, certificated with Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)and STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. We only use 100% natural & toxic-free dye that is free of any harmful pollutants. We encourage all our suppliers to report with certificates about the origin of the materials, as well as its environmental and social impacts. We have selected only a few fabric suppliers, which makes it fairly simple for us to control the quality of materials our clothes are made of.
Mulberry silk is known for its breathability, hypoallergenic, and moisture retention. Silk is almost friendly almost everyone with many Surprising Benefits.
Zero-Waste & Make It Last
Not Just Pajama is committed to "Zero Waste". At its core, zero waste takes aim at our “take, make, and waste” approach to production and consumption, encouraging a more circular approach to the way we use resources.
To reduce clothing and textile waste, carbon footprint and other negative environmental impacts, we utilizes the leftover fabrics to maximum by making them into Silk AirPods case, Silk Scrunchy, silk storage bags and silk scarves.
Meanwhile, we believe in “Buy Less, Choose Well, Make it Last” - that's why our garments are high-quality, classic and multipurpose. "Make it Last" is another way to practice Zero Waste, and is a key on responsible fashion, as every extra season we use a garment we reduce its carbon & water footprint of around 20-25%.
The last but not the least, Not Just Pajama encourages her customers to follow 5R rules: four actions should be taken, if possible, prior to 'recycling': refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and then recycle.
