At Athru, we hold a steadfast belief that the creation of timeless, stylish apparel should coexist harmoniously with the preservation of our planet. Our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship is embodied in every garment we produce, ensuring that our designs are not only aesthetically exquisite but also ecologically sound.

Made-to-Order Production

We adhere to a made-to-order production model, meticulously crafting each piece specifically for you to significantly minimize waste and circumvent overproduction. This bespoke approach ensures that resources are judiciously utilized, with no excess inventory left unsold. By reducing our environmental footprint, we deliver garments that are both personalized and unique.

Natural Materials

We are devoted to using natural, sustainable materials such as mulesing free merino - wool, cupro and organic cotton. We believe that quality should exist in every detail, extending to our use of buttons crafted from natural horn. By choosing these materials, we  avoid synthetic fibers and harmful chemicals, thereby reducing our environmental impact. This careful selection underscores our commitment to promoting ecological balance and responsible fashion.

Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, promoting healthier soil and reducing water usage. It supports biodiversity and fair labor practices, making it a more sustainable and ethical choice.

Cupro is a sustainable fabric made from cotton linter, a byproduct of cotton production. It is biodegradable and produced in a closed-loop process, which recycles chemicals and minimizes environmental impact.

Mulesing-free merino wool comes from ethically treated sheep, avoiding painful mulesing. It is soft, breathable, and naturally regulates temperature. Choosing this wool supports animal welfare and sustainable farming practices. Merino wool fibers create a temperature-regulating microclimate around the body, adapting to both hot and cold environments, making it ideal for all seasons. This breathable material absorbs and releases perspiration, reducing humidity and preventing clamminess.

Practices

Beyond materials and production, we consider the impact of every business decision. We work exclusively with European suppliers shorter supply chains mean less transportation and more direct oversight of how things are made. Our dust bags are 100% organic cotton with a water-based coating, GOTS certified. Hangtags, boxes, and stickers are all made from recycled and recyclable materials.

Continuous Improvement

As Athru's name suggests, our dedication to continuous improvement is at the core of our philosophy. Just as our name embodies a commitment to evolution and refinement, we strive to enhance our practices and products continually.
