Sustainability
at Gardenbelle Shop
Made by Humans
The items at Gardenbelle Shop are hand sewn and hand dyed by humans, never less. We have 3 small family teams located in Thailand, India and Nepal that create their own desired salaries. Our shipment team works off commission and our shipping team starts at $28+/hr rate of pay. We generously compensate our teams and treat them as family <3.

No Plastic Fabrics
All of our fabrics are plant based. No micro-plastics will be washed into the earth when you wash our items. We create items in silk, plant viscose, plant rayon, cotton, beech-wood modal and second-chance tree pulp fabrics.

0 Waste Production
We work together creatively with our seamstresses to come up with ways to use 100% of the scraps that are produced in creating our pieces. Some of the items we create with the scraps are our 0-Waste Flags, scrunchies, patchwork items, bandanas, silk packaging bags and more!

Doing What's Right
Our goal is to never do what is easy or cheap, but what's right and helpful to our planet. We'll never use plastic tags or virgin bags on our clothing. Our mailers and tags are 100% post-consumer recycled content. 100% of paper, cardboard or plastics produced by shipments is recycled OR bottle-bricked appropriately. We proudly support USPS as our courier.
