About Us :

Sardine Clothing Company began in 2002 as one woman's endeavor in creating children’s garments from re-ffpurposedfabrics. This practice has developed into a line of sustainable, "eco-chic" apparel and accessories for men,womenand childrengrounded by the responsible concepts of Eco-friendly design. Each piece is not only 100% hand-made, but100% unique and is assembled locally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Handmade can be defined as "something made by an individual as a unique item, rather than one made by mass production". We hope that you appreciate the craftsmanship involved in each piece and support all things handmade.hand-crafted

Our Mission:

Sardine Clothing Company is committed to designing fun, eco-chic fashions using sustainable, recycled materials without sacrificing aesthetics. By using existing materials, we lower our energy consumption considerably. We create no adverse ecological impact from the dyes, chemicals or water consumption involved in producing new fabrics. All our fabrics are purchased locally from charitable, church and civic organizations. While a "sardine" by itself is not a threat, a school can have a significant impact.

Sustainable Manufacturing :

Sardine Clothing Company uses only re-purposed fabrics to manufacture it’s products. Because we are using a sustainable resource, we generate little to no other environmental impacts commonly associated with the garment manufacturing process. We implement those environmental best management practices (BMP) for ffgarment manufacturing as defined by the Green Garments Guidebook, which lists specific Environmental Benchmarks for the Garment Industry. The Green Garments Project was developed to help member companies improve their competitiveness and environmental performance by identifying best management practices (BMP) that conserve water and energy, use less-toxic chemicals, and minimize waste. In fact, the overall garment footprint for our apparel as measured by those parameters defined in the Green Garments Guidebook, were the lowest possible.
