More about Care Wears

Care Wears is a playful answer to the ethical, sustainable and vegan fashion movement.

The vast majority of my garments are certified organic and made predominantly with cotton, with some containing small amounts of recycled polyester. All the inks used in printing are water-based, eco-friendly and vegan; with many of the colours also being certified organic (some shades do not come with organic certification sadly!).

On top of that, Care Wears clothing spreads the message of positivity and compassion. Being a long-term vegan myself, this is something that is very close to my heart!

Garment printing service also offered.
