Form By T Peggy Bias Skirt - Tobacco

the brand story:

Form by T was established in 2018 with an inspired approach to creating high quality, sustainable staples for your wardrobe. All designs are proudly made in Melbourne, Australia. Slow fashion, sustainability and ethical practices are at the heart of the business. From made-to-order and ready-to-wear collections, garments are made from mostly natural fibers and some deadstock fabric that would otherwise be going to landfill. Fabrics such as linen, hemp, organic cotton, wool, tencel and cupro are primarily used to ensure all pieces are biodegradable. All fabrics are sourced from Australian suppliers. Founder Tessa combines her love of all things environmentally conscious with a strong commitment to the comfort and style of the Form by T customer - Someone who puts as much care into the world around them as they do themselves. All fabrics chosen by the label don't shed any nasty micro-plastics into our water supply and oceans.

shop your values:

• Linen is a highly breathable and heat-conductive fabric. During the summer, however, linen cools you off. It's because of the natural properties of the flax fibre allowing air to circulate freely and move around moisture that builds up. Linen is biodegradable, durable and becomes beautifully soft with every wash! All the dyes used for the linens meet the Oeko-Tex certification. Fabrics that are Oeko-Tex certificated are free of harmful chemicals and are safe for human use. The Flax is sourced from France and Belgium and sent to China to be milled.
• In order to reduce waste, Cupro is the by-product of the industrial harvest of cotton, specifically the waste fibres that are too small to spin. Otherwise known as cotton linter, it’s an ultra-fine, silky fibre that sticks to cotton seeds during the textile production process and is usually thrown away. Instead, it’s stripped from the plant and dissolved into a thick liquid solution (known as a viscous solution) and then spun into fibre, which is then woven into the cupro fabric. Its used an an alternative to silk and is vegan friendly and hand washable. Cupro is biodegradable as well as easily recycled, since it’s made from 100% plant-based materials. It's also hypoallergenic, breathable and anti-static.
• Tencel production has both positive and negative impacts on the environment. Like cotton and bamboo, Tencel is made from plant materials. However manufacturing Tencel requires less energy and water than cotton. As a naturally derived fibre, Tencel is also biodegradable. Lenzing says it sources its wood and pulp from certified and controlled sources like sustainably managed plantations. Tencel is a cellulose fibre, which is made by dissolving wood pulp and using a special drying process called spinning. The fibers are certified as compostable and biodegradable, and thus can fully revert back to nature.
