MAPLE LEAF SCORE
Organic Cotton
Saying yes to organic cotton = saying no to pesticides, insecticides, genetically modified crops, and mechanised farming practices (A.K.A. all the yucky stuff that shouldn’t belong in making our clothes).
Pesticide Free
Organic cotton also uses 91% less water than traditional cotton to be grown, reduces levels of water pollution by 98% as compared to conventional cotton, and creates 46% fewer greenhouse gas emissions. It’s kind of a big deal.
Recycled Polyester
Recycled polyester is the good cop to virgin polyester’s bad cop. It has a dramatically lower environmental impact versus traditional polyester. How much lower? Let us count the ways: it diverts plastic from landfills, prevents plastic from ending up in waterways and harming marine life, produces less greenhouse gas emissions during production and processing, and reduces reliance on petroleum as a raw material.
Class In Session!
College is one big game of How Can I Look Cute Without Looking Like I'm Trying to Look Cute? The answer: this sweatshirt paired with your fave jeans and some chunky boots.
Easy Does It
Pair our sweatshirt with some leggings and you’ve got your 'fit for when you just need to throw on something and go. All cozy, no effort required.
Sunday Staples
The Sunday Scaries are real. Pairing our sweatshirt with a denim skirt is just low maintenance enough, but still stylish for a quick coffee run or walk in the park.
