The Melati

Microplastics included!

 

The Melati Elastane jeans are made with a mix of cotton and elastane - they’ll feel extra nice and comfy, giving the material the stretch that 100% cotton cannot provide. 

 

This makes for a more comfortable fit for you, but a less comfortable reality for the environment (and the lifespan of your jeans).

 

Elastane is an entirely synthetic fibre, designed to be hyper-elastic, lightweight and resistant. However, over time, it will wear down, and with simple everyday use from washing, these tiny pieces of plastic will make their way to the ocean, and eventually, become food for fish. These tiny pieces of plastic are called microplastics, and they inevitably end up polluting the environment. 
 

 

The Melati Elastane:

• Provides stretch & comfort
• Is trickier to recycle
• Is impossible to biodegrade
• Pollutes our waters
