Ethical

úton produces ethically made garments in Melbourne, Australia. The founder believes in supporting the local industry to ensure safe working conditions and fair wages, while also maintaining a close personal relationship with the makers. The brand's products are vegan and close to 90% are made from fabrics with Oeko-Tex or GRS certifications, ensuring they are free from harmful substances and meet social and environmental processing requirements. The most popular fabric used is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified bamboo, which is renewable, biodegradable, breathable, stretchy and soft.

Sustainable

úton is a slow fashion brand committed to contributing towards global waste reduction. The brand encourages conscious consumption by offering a small selection of designs available throughout the year and using two production models - small batch production and made-to-order - to avoid overproduction and excess stock. In addition, úton ships orders in compostable bags and wrapped in tissue paper, and every sale supports the planting of a tree. The brand is also committed to eliminating textile waste during the production process by going circular and using low-waste cutting techniques. All faulty products are repaired, not discarded.

Responsible

úton encourages women to embrace their changing bodies and promotes normalisation of public breastfeeding. The brand offers comfortable, sustainable clothing made from non-toxic stretchy fabrics with a relaxed sizing and fit. úton partners with Upparel to provide a solution for customers to sustainably part with their unwanted clothing and also donates bigger fabric pieces to the community. In addition, the brand supports environmental partners like Ecologi and charity organisations like Panda and Women's Community Shelters and is part of the Global Sisters community supporting women in business.

Product reviews from our experts…

úton has the ultimate pregnancy / maternity leggings with these Bamboo Leggings. I love the soft fabric, supportive back panel and the crossover design at the front to make room for a growing belly.

úton has thought about the full product supply chain from responsible sourcing of fabric to product manufacturing and end of life solutions, and giving back to its communities. I love the brand’s commitment to small-scale, mindful production.

–Brittanie Dreghorn

The bamboo materiality feels so soft on my skin and I love how the leggings still fit you as your body fluctuates. Furthermore, the brand has two types of production models to reduce their textile waste footprint – not many brands consider this.

–Catherine Jia

These leggings are silky soft and ultra flattering. I love that they are made to last through pregnancy and beyond. I enjoy the lower back support they offer with a thicker, firmer panel at the back. I also really appreciate that they are made in Melbourne. Highly recommended!
