OUR IMP ACT IN 2024
Gossamer Grace is color, graphic design, creativity, and conscious decisions. It’s about good vibes, bold choices, and redefining the rules of the textile industry, while keeping our feet on the ground.
This is passion, not fashion. Brava’s that friend who lifts you up, pushes you forward, and won’t let you step out in something that doesn’t spark joy.
And while we know we’re not perfect (who is?), we keep pushing boundaries, questioning the norm, and making sure that every piece we create adds something good to the world.
Here’s everything we did in 2024 to make the textile industry a little greener, one epic outfit at a time.
MATERIALS
We only work with suppliers who meet strict environmental and social standards, using globally certified materials from responsible farms and factories. Every fabric we choose follows rigorous criteria for sustainability and fair practices. We also keep a close watch on inventory to prevent overstock, producing only what’s needed, nothing more. Because our clothes are made to bring you joy when you wear them, not to gather dust in a warehouse, or worse, end up in a landfill.
Because plants deserve better skincare than we do 🌱
- Grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers
- Uses crop rotation and composting to keep soil healthy
- Supports biodiversity and improves soil quality
- Retains more moisture, meaning less water is needed
- Certified by internationally recognized sustainability standards
We don’t just talk organic cotton, we wear it. A lot. 🌱
- 83% of our garments were made with certified organic cotton (OCS)
- 41,467,760 liters of water were saved compared to conventional cotton (roughly 16.6 Olympic-sized swimming pools 🏊♂️💦)
- Certified to be toxin-free and environmentally responsible
In 2024, we produced 93,438 garments, equal to 23.36 tons of organic cotton—that’s more than 10 rhinoceroses put together! 🦏🦏🦏
Because great fabric deserves a second chance ♻️
- Made from recovered fibers, excess fabrics or discarded garments
- Actively supports the circular economy, reducing waste and resource consumption
- Uses 90% less water and up to 90% fewer pesticides than conventional cotton
- Recycled cotton garment needs 375L of water, vs. 2,500L for regular cotton
- 172,372 liters of water saved (like taking 2,873 showers!)
- Certified for responsible sourcing, supply chain traceability, and fair labor
In 2024, we produced 255 garments with recycled cotton, equivalent to 76.5 kg of material—because waste belongs in the recycling bin, not in fashion 👕♻️
SUSTAINABILITY IS IN THE DETAILS
At Brava, we don’t just care about what’s inside the box—we care about the box itself. That’s why we ditch plastics whenever possible and choose eco-friendly materials instead. And because keeping things local matters,
all our trimmings come straight from Spain and Portugal.
Less waste, fewer kilometers traveled, and packaging that’s just as responsible as what’s inside. Because sustainability isn’t just a big idea—it’s in the little things too.
BUTTONS AND TRIMMINGS
Made from corozo—100% natural, biodegradable, and as classy as buttons get.
BAGS
Made from corn (yes, corn!) and is fully biodegradable. No plastic, no problem.
TAGS AND SEALS
Crafted from recycled paper, cotton thread, and minimal recycled plastic (only where necessary).
TEXTILE LABELS
Made with recycled polyester, because even the inside of your garment should be doing its part.
FACTORIES
At Brava, sustainability isn’t just about fabrics—it’s about people. We work closely with our suppliers, visiting factories 1–2 times a month to ensure fair conditions, safe spaces, and ethical treatment. Think natural light, reasonable hours, and respect at every level.
Every partner we work with signs our Code of Conduct—no exceptions. If a supplier doesn’t commit to fair labor, we don’t commit to them. Because a truly sustainable brand cares about the hands that make the clothes just as much as the clothes themselves.
