Our Commitment to Sustainability
At SoviOla, transparency is as integral to our essence as our commitment to sustainable, ethically made textiles. We believe in sharing the full story behind our creations so you can embrace each purchase with confidence and intention. Our garments are crafted from GOTS-certified organic cotton yarn, responsibly and ethically sourced from India and then woven into fabric right here in Los Angeles.
Our mission is to offer you American-made clothing using the finest, purest fabrics— just as nature intended. We sought the highest standard in organic cotton: GOTS certification. However, despite an exhaustive search, we found that American made GOTS-certified organic cotton yarn was not available to us at this time. After many attempts to source it domestically, we embraced a collaboration with a fabric provider in Los Angeles who imports the yarn from India—the birthplace of yoga. It feels like a divine alignment, as SoviOla is deeply rooted in yogic principles.
While we strive to source all materials domestically, our priority is to use the most sustainable and ethically produced fabrics. By sourcing the GOTS-certified organic cotton yarn from India, where organic cotton farming and certification are well- established, we ensure our fabrics meet the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility.
By bringing this eco-friendly yarn into our American-made garments, we support ethical textile practices and contribute to a sustainable global supply chain. Our goal is to create clothing that is as nourishing for the earth as it is for your skin—without compromise.
Our dedication to sustainability extends to every part of our process, right to your doorstep. All of our packaging is made in the USA from recycled, sustainable materials. The tissue that envelopes your garments is made from 100% recycled paper fiber and is FSC-certified. Our Kraft Mailers are plastic-free, made from 100% recycled fibers, 90% post-consumer waste, and are naturally biodegradable. Even our stickers— stamped with Viola and Sophie’s paw of approval—are made from 100% post- consumer waste and curbside recyclable paper.
In full transparency, while the fabric is made of 100% GOTS organic cotton, the sewing thread used in our garments is not yet certified. We are actively working toward sourcing certified thread and are dedicated to making every part of our process as sustainable as possible. We make this promise with our signature stamp of approval. :paw:
