We all throw on a t-shirt everyday, but did you ever stop to think about where it came from? Who made it? And all the steps it took before it landed in your shopping cart. The fashion industry is rife with secrecy, but we have nothing hide. We care about the environment and every being that lives in it. This is why we at once a puppet feel a responsibility to let our customers know where our clothing comes from and how it is made.
