Our Commitment
Sourcing
@ helen the brand, we are committed to sourcing the most high quality garments possible to reduce your personal burden of caring for them between wears and washes, and getting the most longevity out of each piece.
although some of our offerings are still composed with textiles containing micro-plastics, we believe rescuing these items from a landfill is a greater contribution than not.
our goal for the future is to provide as many products made of natural and biodegradable fibers as possible. more to come!
Product Packaging & Shipping
our garment hangtags are hand-made from waxed paper button bags, branded with water-based black ink, & filled with hand-dried flowers and greenery. they are tied with hemp string to finish.
our branded postcards are printed on card stock with water-based inks & are intended (pre-postage) to be re-mailed to someone special or kept as decoration.
our linen jewelry pouches are made of recycled cotton, stamped with water-based ink & are meant to be re-used, not disposed.
our branded stickers are compostable, made from fsc-certified paper, printed with soy-based inks, & are plastic, acid, & sulfur free.
our ‘Uline’ mailers are made of recycled plastic - please recycle again after use.
any added package padding such for shipping should be re-recycled. this includes our tissue paper, made from recycled paper, but could also contain air filled plastics for fragile items.
our cardboard product boxes are meant to be re-used or recycled after use.
our printed packing slips and labels are to be recycled.

OUR GOAL FOR THE FUTURE IS TO PROVIDE ONLY REUSABLE OR biodegradable PRODUCT PACKAGING. MORE TO COME!
We acknowledge that it isn’t realistic for us to operate 100% sustainably because there aren’t enough systems in place across the world to allow it, but we vow to do our very best and encourage questions, education & feedback!
