Who we are – the idea behind betterworld
Hey,
My name is Mollie and I am so excited that you have found betterworld clothing. I am currently a senior in college studying Merchandising and have always had a passion for creating and designing. This passion led me to create betterworld clothing. This brand is starting out very small (literally from the ground up). I have always loved having brands that feel like you are apart of the family. I see betterworld as more than a clothing brand and more of a lifestyle.
Sustainability
As a college student, my goal is to make my clothing as affordable and sustainable as possible. Sustainability is something I have been learning so much about in my major and I believe it is the future of fashion. Betterworld will be changing and evolving as time goes on, but trust the process and we can all grow together. We currently are using a third party service to ship out the merchandise which uses sustainable shipping and packaging methods. Here is a link on all the info: https://www.printful.com/sustainability-responsibility.
As well as working with Printful to manufacture and ship the merchandise, I am carefully choosing the products and designs to be added in each collection. Betterworld is proud to have many sustainable options including our tote bags, 100% cotton tees, organic cotton crop top, 50% recycled beanies, and embroidered merchandise. However, betterworld strives to be transparent in every aspect of our growth in sustainability. There are flaws in every company and we choose to acknowledge those flaws to work to change them. Our main products are hoodies and crewnecks which are 50% cotton 50% polyester. Polyester is a synthetic fiber that does not break down in landfills. It can imitate many fabrics including wool, cotton, etc. Which makes it create for comfort, but not so great for the planet. Betterworld is continuing to search for alternative blanks for the hoodies and crews where they can be made with 100% cotton, organic cotton, hemp, and other alternatives. Your support will help us grow to find those alternatives.
More Than a Brand
With all that being said, every order, repost, comment, etc. is growth and means the world to me. I want nothing more but for betterworld to become a brand that feels like family. Betterworld does focus on sustainability, but also mental health and genuine positivity. The betterworld Instagram (@betterworld.clothing) shares messages everyday to inspire and make your day a little better. You never know who might need to see that one certain quote. You have the power to make the world better. You have the power to make YOUR world better.
