How We Source Our Pieces: A Transparent Look Behind Elevate Ease - Elevate Ease
Featured Post

When it comes to fashion, we believe transparency is the new black. At Elevate Ease, we’re not just about dope fits and clean aesthetics—we’re about making sustainable choices that actually matter. Our mission? Create fashion that feels good and does good.

So how exactly do we source our pieces? Let’s take a peek behind the scenes.


🌿 Sustainability Is Key

 

At Elevate Ease, every hoodie, tee, or tote you see isn’t just part of a look—it’s part of a bigger picture. We’re a startup from Frankfurt, Germany, dedicated to eco-conscious fashion and merchandise for musicians, festivals, and creative crews. From the start, we knew we didn’t want to be just another streetwear label. We wanted to make style that aligns with your values—not against them.

That’s why we only work with carefully selected partners and focus on responsible sourcing. We use 100% organic cotton and 100% recycled polyester in our collections, keeping both the planet and your vibe in mind.


👕 Organic Cotton: Clean from the Seed Up

 

All our organic cotton is grown from non-GMO seeds, completely free from harmful pesticides or fertilizers. Why? Because conventional cotton may only take up 2% of the world’s farmland, but it’s responsible for a shocking 17% of global pesticide use. That’s a no-go for us.

Our cotton originally came exclusively from India, but thanks to our growing supply chain, we now also work with partners in Turkey and beyond. This helps support sustainable cotton farming globally and promotes better practices across the industry.

Beyond the numbers, what matters most to us is that organic farming protects soil health, water quality, and local biodiversity. That means no toxic runoff into rivers, lakes, or oceans. Just cleaner water, healthier ecosystems, and more breathable cotton basics for your everyday wardrobe.


♻️ Recycled Polyester: Turning Trash Into Treasure

 

Some of our pieces—like outerwear, sweats, and accessories—need more durability. That’s where recycled polyester comes in. And not just any recycled material—we’re talking about polyester made entirely from post-consumer PET bottles.

By using recycled plastics, we’re helping cut down on the estimated 14 million tons of plastic that enter our oceans every year. Plus, producing recycled polyester uses way less energy than traditional methods, which means fewer emissions and a lighter environmental footprint.

Depending on the design, each product contains the equivalent of 38 to 80 recycled 550ml plastic bottles. These are sourced mainly from China and transformed into high-quality, long-lasting garments that still feel soft and breathable. Fashion meets function—minus the waste.


✅ Certified by the Best – And Going Beyond

 

We’re proud that our entire supply chain is backed by top-tier sustainability certifications, including:

  • GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)

  • OEKO-TEX Standard 100

  • Fair Wear Foundation

  • Textile Exchange

  • Global Recycled Standard

  • PETA Vegan Approved

  • Organic Blended

But let’s be real: certifications are only the starting point. We constantly work with our partners to go beyond the minimum, improving our processes and pushing for better industry standards across the board.


🌍 Why It Matters

 

Sustainable fashion isn’t just a trend—it’s a responsibility. And at Elevate Ease, we want to be part of shaping a future where fashion, music, and sustainability can thrive together. By choosing us, you’re not only elevating your style—you’re elevating the entire system.


✨ Final Thoughts

 

We know sourcing isn’t the sexiest topic, but we think it’s one of the most important. So whether you’re buying a festival tee, a stage-ready hoodie, or just supporting an indie label with a purpose—thank you for being part of the change.
