Compostable Materials
Kōpilā understand the importance of a circular economy which is why 99% of their product is compostable. Their luxury cashmere garments are made from natural, renewable materials, that create minimum environmental impact and reduce waste. They only source raw materials from sustainable sources unless necessary for the longevity or functionality of the garment, meaning from their yarn to their corozo buttons, their labelling and their packaging, all materials are recyclable or compostable.
Kōpilā only use non-toxic dyes. This ensures that each of their garments will be kind to your skin and to nature. The non-toxic dyes they use are approved and certified to an Oeko-Tex 100 Standard, reducing negative chemical impact during the production process, and certifying that they are safe to wear. Whilst all their yarn is dyed with certified non-toxic dyes they also offer completely dye-free options for the ultimate in chemical free sustainable cashmere. Their dye-free lounge wear range comes in natural tones that are blended from the three natural cashmere goat colours giving the softest neutrals from creamy white to earthy brown, and using only the essential processes of blending, carding and spinning, so they are pollutant free and fully biodegradable.
