Bacoly Brand Frequently Asked Questions

1. What determines the materials you use?

At Bacoly, we prioritize sustainability and quality in our material selection process. We source the highest quality certified eco-friendly fabrics, including linen, organic cotton, and Ecovero rayon. These materials are derived from sustainable and controlled sources, allowing us to decrease emissions and water impact while ensuring you look and feel your best.

2. Does your dye process affect the environment?

Our dyeing process is designed with environmental preservation in mind. We reuse water in the dyeing process, often recycling lighter dyed water for darker batches. Additionally, water used in manufacturing undergoes treatment to remove chemicals, oil, and dye before returning to the environment. Our specialization in digital printing eliminates the need for dye paste and reduces water consumption compared to traditional methods, further minimizing our environmental footprint.

3. How does the lifespan of your apparel help our planet?

The fast fashion industry contributes significantly to environmental pollution, with millions of tons of textiles ending up in landfills annually. At Bacoly, we aim to combat this by designing long-lasting apparel. By using certified eco-friendly fabrics and employing durable sewing techniques, we create styles that stand the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ultimately decreasing environmental impact.

4. How can I get the most out of my Bacoly styles?

To maximize the lifespan of your Bacoly styles, we recommend following our special care instructions included with every product. Gently hand wash your garments with like-colors using a delicate, plant-based detergent free of fragrance. After rinsing, gently press away excess water with a dry towel, reshape the garment, and lay it flat to air dry on a drying rack or fresh towel.

5. What is microfiber pollution?

Microfiber pollution occurs when clothing made with plastic sheds tiny pieces of plastic called microfibers. These microfibers, too small to be filtered out by waste treatment plants, end up in waterways and oceans. They pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems as marine life can mistake them for food, ultimately harming both wildlife and potentially entering our food chain.

6. How can I help reduce microfiber pollution?

You can help reduce microfiber pollution by opting for gentle hand washing of garments with synthetic properties. Agitation in washing machines tends to cause more shedding of microfibers. By adopting hand washing practices, you not only extend the lifespan of your clothing but also minimize microfiber pollution.
