Gaia Conceptions is a clothing brand focused on customizable organic garments made through sustainable fair labor production and purposeful design. Founded in 2003, the company describes its approach as “Slow Clothing,” with attention to the full lifecycle of a garment from seed to shirt. Its garments are designed, patterned, cut, sewn, and dyed in-house in Greensboro, North Carolina, using organic textiles, low-impact dyes, and natural dyes. The brand also emphasizes made-to-order production to reduce waste, local and global artisan collaborations, and the reuse of fabric scraps through recycling and other zero waste practices.

Gaia Conceptions Sustainability Actions

Founded with sustainability goal

When our company was founded in 2003, Andrea wanted to explore a more somatic approach to garment making. This required examining each stage of a garment's lifecycle from seed to shirt.

Uses organic materials

We have a large selection of organic textiles to pick from. With continued relationships with local farmers and mills, we are constantly aiming for a smaller footprint and growing our local fibershed.

Garment dyes used

To impart color to our apparel, we garment dye it with Fiber Reactive Low-Impact Dyes or Natural Dyes. We use a range of plant materials, insects, and pigments to create our natural dye colors.

Made-to-order production

We began as a made-to-order company and have kept that model as we’ve grown. It reduces waste (we don’t overproduce inventory or cut into materials that aren’t needed).

Garments made in-house

All Gaia Garments are designed, patterned, cut, sewn, and dyed in our Greensboro, NC, atelier by a team of artisans who are paid a living wage.
