Sustainability
All JPALM garments are prouldy MADE IN NEW ZEALAND AOTEAROA.
JPalm garments are mainly made by expert sewers based right here in Wellington. With a handful of styles being sewn or knitted in Auckland. All of our sewers are paid a LIVING WAGE - this is really important to us as we view sewing as a highly skilled role.
The perks of producing our garments locally means we can build great relationships, any hiccups can be resolved easily, and it reduces our carbon footprint as there is less freight involved.
Many garments are also still hand sewn by designer/maker Julia in her workroom in central Wellington, New Zealand. Having a hands-on process is really important as it means we can adapt and change as the materials demand to ensure quality and originality.
The fabrics used in JPalm garments are carefully chosen from New Zealand suppliers - prioritizing natural or regenerated fibres. Often vintage or found fabrics are re-purposed and saved from landfill. We also work directly with a handful of fabric mills in China, which ensures we get unique, exclusive and custom fabrics. This also means we only order exactly what we need and there isn't any wastage.
Many of the textiles are distressed or treated by hand at the JPalm workroom - such as the hand bleaching/dying or any frayed edges etc.
If you would like more clarifications around sustainability and manufacturing, please feel free to reach out to us: info@jpalm.co.nz
The aim of the game is to be gentle and considerate with your JPalm garment so you can enjoy it for aslong as possible :)
Always follow individual garment care instructions on the care label (usually on the inside lower seam of the garment).
We recommend handwashing any delicate fabrics - such as silk, fine cotton or viscose items. This will also help to maintain the longevity of the colour.
For coats, lined blazers etc.. we recommend getting them dry cleaned when needed (once a season). This is because sometimes the fusing that keeps the collars or button stands structured can react badly to steam or water. If in doubt - you can always reach out to us, and always follow the intructions on the care label.
Denim and tshirting is able to go in the washing machine on a cold cycle for cotton. Do not put it in the dryer.. as there might be a tiny bit of shrinkage and we don't want that. Always wash with like colours, and there may be some dye run - especially with the dark blue denim.
To bring more life to your JPalm garment as you wash and wear it - we recommend tailoring the garment to fit your specific needs, and repairing them when the garment ages.
You are always welcome to contact us to see what the best way to wash and care for your garment is: info@jpalm.co.nz
