Thank you for your kind patience with our pre-production process, if you ever need items urgently we have in-stock items available in previous styles. Our pre-order program is discounted generously for those clients who love our stuff enough to wait as we work our slow fashion magic. Your patience is always kindly appreciated as we handcraft your new unique item.

Slow Fashion Process

We offer clothing made by Pre-Order for a variety of reasons. Once of the biggest reasons is to be able to minimize waste. In the current fashion industry there are huge problems with waste and unethical labour standards. The rush to make the quickest cheapest products have causes horrible pollution and human rights issues.

Our process is a slow thoughtful one where we employ local seamstresses while paying a living wage. The fabric is cut to order and almost ever scrap is used up by making headbands, scarves and our Bamties bamboo underwear. Salts & West aims to divert almost all of our fabric waste away from the landfill and into smaller products or we give it away to schools for crafting projects.

Lastly, a large part of our process is making quality garment that last for years. Some of our clients have told us they have been wearing certain items for over 10 years! We believe in creating unique yet classically styled pieces for you that you can wear for years to come.
