THE PERFECT BLEND: QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
At Ponlo, we know how difficult it can be to find high-quality, minimalistic, and inspiring designs—products that are both visually appealing and meaningful. Many available options are either overly complex or do not hold up after a few washes. That is why we craft unique, limited-edition apparel using 100% organic materials and durable, water-based inks. Our designs not only look good and feel great but also communicate thoughtful, uplifting messages.
Quality
Our garments are made from the premium-quality, GOTS-certified organic cotton, ensuring a perfect blend of softness and durability. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a certification program that oversees the production of organic textiles, and ensures that the cotton used in our garments is grown using organic farming techniques, without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Additionally, it guarantees that fair labor practices are followed throughout the entire production process.
Furthermore, organic cotton is free from pigments and bleach and is hypoallergenic. It lacks the chemicals and metals typically found in non-organic cotton or synthetic fibers, making it less likely to cause reactions in people with chemical sensitivities. By using GOTS-certified organic cotton, we ensure that our garments are not only safe and comfortable to wear but also sustainably and responsibly made.
Environmentally Friendly Inks
We use Permaset inks, which are water-based, non-toxic, and biodegradable. Unlike traditional petroleum-based inks that contain heavy metals and toxic chemicals, our inks are safe for the environment and have passed the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class 1 certification. This means they are safe to use on a range of products, including underwear, swimwear, and even baby clothes for infants under two years old.
In addition to being environmentally friendly, our inks are also highly durable. They can withstand washing, wear, and even dry cleaning, making them ideal for long-term use. Furthermore, unlike plastisol inks or transfer printing, our water-based inks have a softer touch and do not leave a rubbery feel on the garment.
While it's true that working with water-based inks can present some challenges, such as clogging the printing screen if left to air dry, we believe that the effort is worth it for the benefits our inks provide. We're proud to offer our customers high-quality, environmentally friendly, and safe inks that contribute to a more sustainable future.
Vegan Materials
We use only vegan materials in our garments. These materials are free from any animal-derived materials such as wool or silk. By choosing vegan materials, we reduce the amount of water and energy used in production, which in turn helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Social Responsibility - Garments with a Purpose
We believe that each garment should have a purpose beyond just being a product for sale. That's why we donate a portion of our profits towards supporting families in need. By purchasing a garment from us, you're not only investing in a product that is good for the environment and your health, but you're also contributing to a good cause.
Moreover, we only partner with suppliers who share our values on fair labor practices, safe working conditions, and environmental sustainability.
