sustainable knitwear

Most clothing is made without considering its end of life. Bee&Sons knitwear is designed to be disassembled and regenerated into new yarn. Most clothing is made using non-renewable fossil fuels. We make a point of using natural fibres. Even the thread we use to sew in our responsible labels is 100% natural.

Recycling old clothing to make recycled yarn
The sorting of post-consumer waste at the factory we visited in Prato is fascinating. There’s so much work involved in taking your old clothes, removing anything metal or synthetic, cleaning and chopping it up ready to turn it into recycled yarn so we can make new jumpers! It is a lengthy process - but so worth it. #beeandsons #recycledyarn #postconsumerwaste #factoryvisit #sustainability #recycling #recycledclothing #sustainableclothes #buybetter #recycle #sustainability #sustainableliving #ethicalfashion #ethical #slowfashion

a quote that reads, we can create a better world by recycling our old natural textiles into new ones
Recycle old natural textiles into new ones
It can't be about fast, cheap, on trend (for now), short-term, cheap materials anymore. We need to reframe the way we look at clothing. It needs to be about long-lasting, natural materials. Clothing that we love and will keep rather than fashion that we will throw out when we are bored with it. The synthetic clothing that we currently own will outlive us. Only 100% natural yarns can be made into fresh new yarn. Please consider what your clothing is made from before you buy. 💛 #beeandsons #buylessbuybetter #naturalyarn #naturalmaterials #longlastingclothing #recycledclothing #sustainableclothes #buybetter #recycle #sustainability #sustainableliving #ethicalfashion #ethical #slowfashion #sustainabledesign #ecochic #sustainable #sustainablefashion #ecofashion #recycled #recycling

At Bee&Sons we only use 100% natural fabrics (like cashmere & merino wool) which also means they are 100% recyclable & biodegradable. Even the thread we use to sew in our responsible labels is 100% natural.

We want you to buy our knitwear because you love it and want to wear it forever - because it's so much more than a piece of clothing.

Knitwear that is designed to be unmade - and recycled
All of our knitwear is designed to be unmade. Unlike most brands, we accept responsibility for the entire life-cycle of our garments. So if it’s broken, we can fix it. If you’re tired of it, we can resell it for you and give the proceeds to charity. ⠀ ⠀ BUT, when your knitwear has had it, hopefully in years to come, we want it back, to dismantle it, chop it up, re-spin into fresh yarn and start all over again. Click to find out more about our take back service. ⠀ #beeandsons #buylessbuybetter #recycledclothing #sustainableclothes #buybetter #recycle #sustainability #sustainableliving #ethicalfashion #ethical #slowfashion #sustainabledesign #ecochic #sustainable #takebackservice #garmentlifecycle #clothinglifecycle #sustainablefashion #ecofashion #recycled #recycling
Making good quality cashmere from recycled yarn
Prato, Italy, has been the capital of textile recycling for over 200 years. We visited the factories there last year to investigate recycled yarn and find out more about how it’s made. At Bee&Sons, and with the help of the specialists we’ve met, we have been able to prove that you can make good quality cashmere knitwear using recycled yarn. #beeandsons #buylessbuybetter #recycledclothing #recycledyarn #cashmere #sustainableclothes #buybetter #recycle #sustainability #sustainableliving #ethicalfashion #ethical #slowfashion #sustainabledesign #ecochic #sustainable #sustainablefashion #ecofashion #recycled #recycling #recycledyarn #recycledcashmere #textilerecycling
