OUR FABRICS ORGANIC, SUSTAINABLE, LOW IMPACT

Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that

have a lower impact on the environment than conventionally

grown cotton. The cotton is grown without toxic pesticides

and synthetic fertilizers and without the use of genetically

engineered seed. Organic cotton is an environmentally

responsible, comfortable to wear and mindful alternative for

the conscious consumer. All of our fabrics are also made with

low-impact dyes. These dyes have a high absorption rate,

which decreases the use of rinse water and produces less

waste. These purposeful choices ensure environmentally and

socially responsible production practices in every phase of

our manufacturing process.

Our appliqué designs are individually hand sewn

by skilled crafts-women in Nepal. We adhere to

employment guidelines set forth by fair labor

organizations through advocating higher salaries and

never employing child labor. The production of our

unique appliqué styles empowers this group of 150

women with the ability to work from home, support

their families with the living wage income earned and

gives them a sense of pride and independence. We

believe that people deserve the choice to buy clothing

they feel good about wearing with the knowledge

of where and how it was produced.

Synergy Organic Clothing was founded by Kate

Fisher during her first trip to Nepal in the fall

of 1993. Inspired by the beautiful fabrics and

textiles of South East Asia and by the friendships

she made there, Kate returned home and began

to design clothing based on this inspiration.

The roots of Synergy were born. In the fall of

2006, she partnered with her husband Henry

Schwab to grow and expand her vision of an

eco-conscious clothing company. Together they

formed a family operated business committed

to producing clothing with the highest

environmental and ethical principles at the core—

a company that also provides employment for

women in Nepal. Since those beginnings over 20

years ago, Synergy has become a global brand

that has won accolades in the press for fair trade

ethics and stylish, fashion forward clothing.
