Sustainability
Environmental responsibility is at the forefront of FRAME’s creative vision. We know there’s still a lot to learn and accomplish, but we had to start somewhere. We kicked things off with sustainable cashmere sweaters, then launched our Sustainable Denim collection, and introduced a range of 100% organic cotton pieces. We’re deconstructing and repurposing pre-owned sweaters and giving them new life, fashioning interior pockets out of recycled water bottles, and ultimately, just getting started. Read on to find out more about how we’re addressing our ecological impact.
Sustainable Denim
Launched in 2019, our Sustainable Denim range delivers the superior denim you’ve come to expect from us with a fraction of the environmental impact.
Our Sustainable Denim production features:
Eco-Friendly Washes: The washing and dyeing processes are historically among the most wasteful and polluting parts of denim production. We’ve invested in high-efficiency laser machines to reduce water consumption and eliminate the need for and use of toxic chemicals.
Recycled Materials: Our Sustainable Denim is made from post-consumer plastic water bottles and recycled cotton.
Sustainable Trims: Starting with our Fall 2020 collection, all the pocket bags in our sustainable denim will be made with fabric woven from recycled water bottles, comprising roughly one bottle per garment.

Sustainable Cashmere
We’re excited about our recycled cashmere program, and our customers are too. First, we collect high quality sweaters that are no longer being used due to wear or damage. Next, we cut them up into small pieces, then comb them back into fiber, which is later spun into luxe cashmere yarn and knit into a brand-new (but recycled) sweater for you.
Sustainable Organic Pima Cotton
Many of our pieces are made with 100% Organic Pima Cotton, which is widely recognized as the finest cotton in the world. Not only is it long-lasting and of superior quality, it’s grown without harmful pesticides in favor of sustainable techniques like crop rotation, intercropping, and hand-weeding.
