Hummingbird cropped recycled shell jacket, Girlfriend Collective

Being eco-friendly is at the top of Girlfriend Collective's priorities, alongside body positivity & inclusivity.

Compressive Leggings + Bras are made from 79% recycled polyester (or RPET) and 21% spandex. Leggings are made from 25 recycled post-consumer bottles and our bras are made from 11.

LITE Leggings are made from recycled fishing nets and other waste using ECONYL® yarn. Their LITE fabric is made up of 83% recycled nylon and 17% spandex.

Their tees and tanks are 100% cupro, a delicate fiber made from waste the cotton industry leaves behind. Their yarn is made in a zero-waste, zero-emission facility in Japan, then constructed at our SA8000-certified factory in Hanoi.

And their scrunchies are made from the scraps of these pieces so noting goes to waste!

How do you turn old water bottles into clothes?
Almost all synthetic activewear is made from plastic. So Girlfriend Collective make theirs with materials that would otherwise clog landfills and pollute the earth. It all starts with 100% post-consumer water bottles that have their labels removed, are crushed into billions of miniscule chips, and then washed until they’re sparkling clean.

After a bunch of science stuff with names like “polymerization,” you get a soft, recycled yarn that eliminates the need for petroleum and diverts water bottles from landfills at the same time.

Girlfriend collective pride themselves on the transparency of their supply chains. All of their textiles are made from recycled materials in their own facility in Taiwan that specializes in eco-friendly and high-quality textiles, then cut-and-sewn in one of their partner facilities carefully chosen for their values and ethics. Their core factory is a magical place in Hanoi, Vietnam, that's SA8000 certified, guarantees fair wages, safe and healthy conditions, and zero forced or child labor.
