Sustainability

S U S T A I N A B L I T Y

We believe in making beautiful clothing thoughtfully, with a focus on quality, longevity, and less waste. We work with natural and sustainable fabrics including Linen, Hemp, Lyocell, Modal, Bamboo, Cotton, Silk, Wool and Cashmere. Our fabrics are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. We produce in small batches to avoid overproduction and create pieces that are made to last.

Our designs are minimalist, versatile, and timeless rather than trend driven. We also believe in a sustainable approach to body image, creating pieces for a wide range of shapes and sizes, including many flowy styles that can be worn as bodies change overtime.

We source deadstock fabrics, rescue damaged vintage and luxury pieces, and use hand-dyeing to transform fabrics that might otherwise go to waste. We believe in using what already exists wherever possible.

All Sarah Sue Design pieces are made in Canada, right here in Winnipeg on Treaty 1 Territory. Each piece is made by Sarah, her mom Kathleen, with a few other local sewers who help bring our designs to life.

Being part of our community is an important part of what we do. We donate high-need items such as toques and neck warmers, hold toiletry drives, and support local organizations financially, including through our PRETTY PROJECT.

Circular fashion has always been part of Sarah Sue Design. We offer alterations and mending to extend the life of our pieces, create ZERO WASTE designs from leftover fabrics, and upcycle damaged garments into something new.

ReLoved brings our circular approach together by giving clothing another life. It includes preloved Sarah Sue Design pieces, mended garments, samples, vintage finds, and one-of-a-kind pieces.

We also welcome Sarah Sue Design pieces back from your closet. When a piece is ready to move on, we can assess it for ReLoved and offer Sarah Sue Design credit based on its condition and suitability. From there, it gets the chance to be loved and worn again.

As we strive to be a Sustainable Fashion Company, we realize that we are not perfect but we try every day and every opportunity to get better and better!
