With Bird of Prey being a rock climbing inspired apparel brand, a major cornerstone of the brand is community and the outdoors. Even though we are just getting started and in the grand scheme of things a very small apparel company, we feel it is our responsibility to take care of both the community and the environment in which we are built. Our goals and commitments to building an ethical and sustainable brand are ever evolving as we grow. Aiming to bring you responsibly sourced high quality apparel.  

When we search for new garments or any products for that matter we try to do a deep dive into the ethics of each company we look into. We don't just settle for the easiest or cheapest method possible, if the company does not align with our ethics we continue searching until we find the best match for us. 

Now, just because we strive to be as ethical and sustainable as possible, we know that we are not perfect. There is always something better and more we can do. So as we grow we seek to better ourselves, the people involved in creating our apparel as well as the environment.  

Some examples of how we are achieving our goals:

Waste reduction: All our shipping bags are made from 100% recycled material. Though these bags are not commonly curbside recyclable, most grocery stores have plastic bag drop off bins in which these shipping bags can also be put in. This allows the bag to once more be recycled, keeping them out of the landfill for as long as possible.

Garment sourcing: Currently all our apparel is sourced from California. The facilities workers earn fair wages in an ethical and safe work environment. Majority of their cotton is sourced domestically and they strive to incorporate organically grown and recycled cotton into their production. 

Miscellaneous: Even some of our stickers are made from 100% recycled material.
