What is your definition of ethical apparel?

Our goal is for all of the brands that we carry to be as ethically and sustainably produced as possible, but we also understand that this journey is an ever-evolving one, and that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

In an industry that has become synonymous with waste; we wanted to offer something different.

Our roster of sustainably-minded and ethically-produced brands is re-envisioning the way that the apparel industry could be, and we're proud to lift up their stories and share their lines with you.

To be stocked at The Sunday Standard, an apparel brand must be participating in and working towards a more sustainable future for the apparel industry. These efforts include sustainable and ethical practices such as:

• The use of eco-friendly fibers and fabrics, such as organic cotton, linen, recycled polyester, or bamboo. These materials have a lower environmental impact and often use less water or are made from past-waste materials.
• The use of deadstock fabrics. Deadstock materials are whats "left over" from past seasons or other design houses, and often gets diverted into the waste stream. Reimagining deadstock materials into a new collection prevents waste both by saving an old material from the landfill and simultaneously preventing a new one from being made. It's like thrifting, but for fabric.
• The implementation of fair labor practices, ensuring that the workers who make their garments are fairly paid, able to maintain standard working hours, and able to work under safe and humane working conditions at all times.
• Local production practices. Brands that are able to produce their designs, fabrics, and garments in a localized area are not only more able to oversee and ensure the ethical production of their garments, but they're also able to reduce the environmental impact of shipping raw materials across the globe as well as put money back into the hands of their local communities.
• Sustainable packing and shipping practices, including the reduction or elimination of plastic from their distribution systems.

What is your definition of clean beauty?

We are first and foremost a clean beauty store. Having started our business in this industry (check out our line here), it has always been important to us to ensure the quality of the products we offer aligns with our standards of clean.

Here at The Sunday Standard, clean beauty starts with ingredients - not only the ingredients that make a product special, but also the ones that are intentionally left out. We vet our entire lineup of skincare, bath & body, fragrance, and wellness products to ensure that they are free from the following ingredients that are either known or suspected to be harmful to human health:

• Aluminum & Heavy Metals
• Formaldehyde
• Parabens
• Petroleum-Based Ingredients
• Phthalates
• Mineral Oils
• SLS
• Sulfites

We also look to our beauty brands to be moving the needle in regards to sustainability, ethics, and inclusion, and are always looking for ways to expand our offerings in ways that align with your values.

1. Prep your Items. All items must be completely clean of product residue and dry, both inside and outside of the package. We recommend using warm soapy water or isopropyl alcohol, followed by some drying time with all components disassembled to ensure your packages are entirely clean before dropping them off to be recycled.

3. Get Punched! For each full-sized item recycled, you'll receive 1 punch on a 20 punch card. Please note that we are only able to accept 10 items for recycling during any single visit and that items brought in are accepted at the discretion of our team.

3. Feel Good. We'll bulk recycle all of your items with our partner, Terracycle - an environmental company that specializes in "recycling the unrecyclable" by collecting and sorting waste that local, single-stream recycling centers aren't capable of processing, and converting it into materials that can be used to make new products.

4. Get Rewarded*. Once your punch card is full, your card becomes worth $10 off your purchase of $50 or more.

*Please note that this offer is not redeemable for cash, nor is it redeemable online. Your purchase must be $50.00 or greater, pre-tax, to qualify for use of this discount.
