We are passionate about keeping our planet clean and green. We have worked very hard to integrate sustainability in every step of our business and we are very proud of the materials we use and the people we work with.
PREMIUM MATERIALS AND RELIABLE QUALITY
The better the quality, the longer the product lasts. Before we add new products, we do durability, wash, and wear tests to make sure they’ll stand the test of time. We only work with suppliers that produce high-quality products that last many washes, keeping print colors vibrant and the fabric soft.
Producing long-lasting products means reducing new purchases and in turn, this means less waste. We believe that slow fashion is the key to turning the textile industry around.
KEEPING THE OCEAN CLEAN
At Lucky Leif, we care deeply about the planet and creating a business that gives back to nature. That’s why we are thrilled 10% of our profits to The Ocean Cleanup.
The Ocean Cleanup foundation is at the forefront of tackling the urgent issue of plastic pollution in our oceans. Their innovative technology and dedicated team work tirelessly to remove plastic waste from our seas, preserving marine life and safeguarding the health of our planet.
ETHICAL PROCESS AND RESPECT
Our products are made in a factory where the spinning, dye, weaving, cut and sew are integrated. Vertical integration leads to cost savings which can be reinvested in the facilities. This means that the environment is clean, light, modern, and positive.
When you purchase a Lucky Leif product you can be sure it was sourced, produced, and printed by an adult that works in an ethical factory and who receives a dignifying compensation. This is crucial to our company. Respecting people’s work is a complement of our eco-friendly efforts. One cannot be without the other.
EFFICIENT PRINTING
We structured Lucky Leif to work as a made-to-order business. We don’t mass-produce or order in bulk. We only keep blanks in our inventory and as orders come in, we print or embroider our design in the blanks in record times with our direct-to-garment (DTG) printers. You won’t notice the difference but there is a huge one: there is no waste, no remaining stock, nothing to throw away.
For our DTG prints, we use Kornit machines and inks. Kornit uses high-quality, water-based vegan inks that they formulate, test, and produce in their own factories. Kornit inks are non-hazardous, toxin-free, biodegradable, and certified with an OEKO-TEX Eco Passport. We print our posters with Epson inks that are certified by GreenGuard.
We believe that this alone can help change the industry into a more sustainable business.
EFFICIENT SHIPPING
Around 78% of our orders are delivered in the same region they’re fulfilled. Having fulfillment centers close to our customers is good both for the business and the planet. Strategically located fulfillment centers allow for faster shipping times and lower shipping costs, and it also helps with reducing the CO₂ emissions produced when transporting orders.
Our warehouses are located in both USA coasts, Canada, Europe and Australia.
