ABOUT OUR T-SHIRTS:

Direct-to-Garment printing brings our designs to life on BELLA+CANVAS tees. BELLA+CANVAS is the largest dyer and cutter of apparel in the US!

Here are several of the numerous socially responsible initiatives BELLA+CANVAS has taken:

AMERICAN MADE:

American made is something we believe in deeply. As one of the biggest clothing manufacturers in America, we provide well over 1,000 jobs right here in Los Angeles.

ECO-FRIENDLY:

Water Reduction

By using newer, more efficient dye machines, we use 7x less water than the average for clothing manufacturers, saving 24 million gallons a week. Any water we do use goes through a filtration system that allows it to be recycled.

Energy Reduction

We are a green company through and through - taking every opportunity we can to reduce our co2 emissions.

Virtually Zero Waste

Our manufacturing facilities and LA Headquarters produce almost no landfill because we recycle pretty much everything that can't be turned into a tee. We've optimized our cutting to reduce plastic use, and excess fabric is recycled into a number of things like baby bibs or stuffing for upholstery. Let nothing go to waste!

SWEATSHOP-FREE:

Doing things the right way has never been up for debate. We have been manufacturing in the U.S. and internationally in a no-sweat-shop, humane, sustainable way since day one. Our Platinum W.R.A.P. certification is just a small indication of how hard we work to make our sewing and cutting floors pleasant, productive, comfortable places to be.

What Principles Does the WRAP Certification Include?

Human resources management

Health and safety standards

FAIR LABOR ASSOCIATION PARTICIPATING COMPANY
