Planet
Sagaraya tees are cut from heavier fabric emphasising the durability and longevity of each garment.
Using a blend of recycled cotton and organic cotton, means less energy and water is required in the manufacturing process.
Organic cotton helps farmers escape the health risks and financial burden of toxic chemicals involved in conventional cotton production. It also helps wider communities by maintaining (rather than draining) the local water supply and keeping it clean.
