Environment

We love making quality items for you and your home, and that quality should not come at a cost to the environment. At AphroChic we are committed to sustainable and environmentally responsible design. And we fulfill our promise to sustainability through every part of our design process:

• At AphroChic prints are created using a dye sublimation process. Our images are created through heat transfer that has little waste of inks or dye.
• We only use 100% natural fabrics. All pillows and apparel are printed on 100% belgian linen, 100% silk, or 100% cotton. This also extends to the packaging for our brand which is made of eco-friendly papers and materials. Our modern soulful style tee is also available in 100% organic cotton.
• Ninety-percent of our products are made locally in San Francisco. Pillows are sewn in a factory just a few miles from our studio. No big fancy warehouse or rows of stockpiled inventory. Instead, pillows are made when you order, reducing the need for storage, energy consumption and wasteful printing of our product.
• We use high quality Down Etc. inserts for each of our pillows. Our inserts are made of 100% cotton, are hypoallergenic and cleaned with a CentroClean sterilization process to remove allergens from down and feathers.
• We encourage eco-friendly cleaning of all of our products. We encourage customers to use non-toxic cleaning products to hand wash linens in cold water. We support the use of eco-friendly dry cleaning for our silk pillows.
• In our studio, our culture is one of environmental responsibility. As an online boutique, we have streamlined our business process to be as paper-free as possible. We recycle, use recycled paper for invoices and receipts, and even print our business cards using recycled paper and non-toxic inks. We go organic as much as possible, and give back to our community by supporting local businesses. We live our modern, soulful style philosophy.
