Sustainability at Mystic Moods

Sustainability has always been at the core of Mystic Moods — it’s not a trend; it’s our foundation.

From the fabrics we choose to how we design, make, and deliver each piece, we are committed to creating fashion that respects both people and planet.

Since our launch, we have built our business on three guiding principles: transparency, responsibility, and circularity.

What Sustainability Means to Us

At Mystic Moods, sustainability is not a buzzword — it’s a continuous practice.

We recognise that every product we create has an environmental footprint, and we take deliberate steps to minimise it.

Our approach begins with what already exists: materials, skills, and ideas that deserve a second life.

We produce small, considered runs or one-of-a-kind pieces that stand the test of time, not fleeting trends.

We work primarily with fabrics available to us now, rather than commissioning new production that puts pressure on mills, energy, and natural resources.

In other words, we design around the fabric — not the other way around.

Our Practices

Fabric & Materials

The majority of our fabrics are sourced here in the UK through trusted suppliers, vintage archives, and artisan networks.

Where sourcing within the UK isn’t possible, we carefully select organic and certified fabrics that use reactive dyes, reduced water, and responsible processing methods.

We divide our materials into three transparent categories:

Recycled Fabrics — including but not limited to recycled polyester, recycled cotton, and regenerated fibres such as cotton linter (a byproduct of cotton farming).

Waste / Remnant Fabrics — deadstock, end-of-roll, and offcuts from past productions or other manufacturers, repurposed through innovative patternmaking.

Natural / Compostable Fabrics — 100% biodegradable fibres such as silk, linen, hemp, and wool, selected for longevity and future recyclability.

Every material we use is chosen for durability and timeless appeal. Our long-term goal is to achieve third-party fabric certification, ensuring verifiable standards of sustainability and traceability.

Design & Production

We produce limited editions in our UK studio or collaborate with like-minded ateliers who share our values.

Every garment is individually crafted, reducing overproduction and unnecessary waste.

We have developed zero-waste pattern techniques that maximise fabric efficiency and minimise leftover material.

By focusing on small-scale craftsmanship rather than mass production, we maintain full transparency about how, where, and by whom each Mystic Moods piece is made.

Packaging & Transport

We use recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable materials for our labels, mailers, and packaging.

All packaging suppliers are selected based on material recyclability and post-consumer content.

We prioritise carbon-neutral shipping options where possible, and all deliveries are handled through reputable couriers such as Royal Mail, DPD, or DHL.

Each shipment is consolidated where possible to reduce emissions.

Our Responsibility Doesn’t End with Delivery

We understand that your relationship with your Mystic Moods piece may evolve.

When the time comes to part with it, we encourage you to:

Up-cycle your piece into something new.

Resell it as part of the circular economy.

Donate or gift it to someone who will love it again.

Recycle it via local textile banks or recycling points.

By keeping textiles in circulation, you help us close the loop and reduce waste — the heart of our sustainable mission.

Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement

Our responsibility toward a sustainable future does not end when the product reaches you.

We are constantly improving — exploring new materials, refining our zero-waste methods, and collaborating with responsible partners.

We are currently working toward fabric and process certifications to formalise what we already practice daily.

We publish our sustainability updates annually through our [ESG & Sustainability Overview] (link to your ESG page or Section 35 summary).

Our Design Philosophy

We believe that what you wear on your skin should be as good as you are — crafted with care, integrity, and purpose.

We don’t chase collections, seasons, or trends. Instead, we follow the natural rhythm of material availability and creative intuition.

Every Mystic Moods piece is designed to last, to age beautifully, and to remind you that true fashion endures.

Transparency & Compliance

We are committed to full transparency about our materials, processes, and limitations.

While we continuously work to improve our environmental and ethical impact, we do not claim that every product or process is 100% sustainable — only that each one is made with conscious intent and measurable responsibility.

Our sustainability communications are guided by the CMA Green Claims Code, UK Consumer Protection Regulations, and ESG best practices.
