In the ever-evolving world of fashion, where style meets sustainability, DEWEY is making waves with a mission that goes beyond the hemlines and silhouettes.

Dewey x One Tribe: A Partnership for Change
With every DEWEY purchase, you're not just adding a stylish piece to your wardrobe; you're becoming a part of a movement to save indigenous trees. Our collaboration with One Tribe is more than a transaction; it's a commitment to combat the environmental impact of fashion practices.
DEWEY proudly participates in the United Nations Framework for Climate Change, aligning with the UN Sustainability Goals. Together, we're tackling climate change head-on. It's not just about fashion; it's about making a difference.
To date, your DEWEY purchases have saved 2150 trees, offset 590 tonnes of carbon, preserved 11 acres of precious land, and prevented 128 worth of car emissions. Each buy contributes to our fight against the climate crisis, reducing CO2 in the atmosphere and leaving a positive mark on the planet.

The Why Behind Rainforests
Rainforests aren't just exotic landscapes; they're the lungs of our planet. DEWEY's commitment directly aids in protecting these critical ecosystems, removing and storing CO2 from our atmosphere.

The Fashion Industry's Environmental Toll
The fashion industry, a powerful player in pollution, contributes 8-10% of global emissions. Fast fashion, with its rapid turnover and environmental exploitation, exacerbates this impact. Cheap materials, unsustainable practices, and a throwaway culture create a significant ecological footprint.
To address this, we must promote sustainable fashion practices. DEWEY stands against the detrimental effects of fast fashion, advocating for responsible choices that benefit our planet.

While the mantra "the most sustainable option is the one already in your wardrobe" resonates, it overlooks a crucial aspect. With over 2.5 billion people under 5ft unaccounted for by the fashion industry, DEWEY believes in making fashion responsibly to bridge this gap. Our commitment to sustainable practices extends beyond the individual garment to include inclusivity in sizing and representation.
DEWEY's partnership with One Tribe isn't just about fashion; it's a step towards a sustainable and inclusive future. As you make a statement with your style, you're also making a statement for the planet. Let's continue this journey together, one purchase at a time, leaving a positive impact on both fashion and the environment.
