Sustainability
We are dedicated to creating exceptional fashion while protecting the planet for future generations, from the materials we choose to the way we work with our partners.
Fewer, better pieces, made to last.
Sustainable materials
Great design begins with responsible choices. We prioritise high-quality, sustainable materials, and our collections are made mainly from natural fibres wherever possible.
- OrganicFree from harmful chemicals for safer production and wear. Our jersey hoodies, T-shirts, shorts and sweatpants are made from 100% organic, GOTS-certified cotton.
- RecycledGiving new life to previously used materials and reducing waste.
- InnovativeExploring modern alternatives such as plant-based leathers and eco-friendly dyes.

This approach is neither cheap nor straightforward. It often means a longer development process, because we are limited to specific fabrics and factories that share our values.
We are committed to continually developing new materials and finding manufacturing partners who share our vision for a more sustainable future.
The Undyed Collection
Each collection includes undyed cotton pieces, made from cotton in its natural colour. Skipping the dyeing process saves water and energy and lowers the carbon footprint of production.

It also gives every piece a character of its own: look closely and you will see small specks in the fabric, the cotton's natural seeds.
Embroideries
Embroidery is the signature of our most iconic pieces, built on years of research into the craft.
Every artwork is stitched in rich, dense detail and made to be kept, so each piece holds its character and value long after the season it was designed for.

We are also growing our range of organic cotton pieces.
Timeless by design. Made to be worn for years.
Limited quantities
Every piece is produced in limited quantities, with just two main seasons a year. We embrace slow fashion and deliberately avoid the waste of overproduction.
- Luxurious qualityThe quality of our materials and craftsmanship means our pieces last for years, so fewer are thrown away because of faults.

Fast fashion drives over-consumption with cheaply made garments, many discarded within a year after only one or two wears. We are committed to creating lasting pieces that minimise environmental harm and promote a more sustainable approach to fashion.
Responsible packaging
We ship every order in cardboard boxes or paper envelopes, with no single-use plastic. Our boxes are made from recycled cardboard and are fully biodegradable.
Pieces arrive wrapped in tissue paper inside a reusable cotton tote, in place of plastic garment bags.

Our shipping boxes and tissue papers are recyclable and made with sustainably sourced materials, and we continue to look for new ways to remove single-use plastics. Some older items on sale may still arrive in previous packaging while those styles are phased out.
Always striving to do better
We are proud of the steps we have taken, and we keep working to do more. By choosing Only the Blind, you support a brand that puts sustainability and ethical practice first.
