Responsibly made shirts handcrafted for your capsule wardrobe.

CONSTRUCTION:
When we first started Power Of My People, Kyle and I made all of our shirts ourselves – Kyle cutting the fabric on our apartment floor, and myself sewing them in our utility closet that housed the sewing machines. The first shirts we made took us 18 hours to construct – each. I will never get tired of watching the skillful technicians in Richmond, Canada, who make our shirts now, at the speed in which they make them, while achieving a standard of quality we are proud of.

Our Portuguese fabric supplier has always treated us with respect and kindness, even back when our seasonal orders would fit in a single box. As we’ve grown, so have they, and with their growth they have prioritized innovation and sustainability. We are able to trace the source of the fibres that make up each fabric, which we share in the product description of each item in our store. We are now also able to share our fabrics which are accredited with the following certifications:

– Our linens are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 approved, meaning each fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances known to be harmful to human health.

– Our cottons are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 approved, and approved by the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) which ensures that cotton is produced a way that is measurably better for the environment and farming communities.

We are dedicated to working towards sustainable industry practices both for the environment, and for the people that touch each aspect of our production, and we will continue to do our best to communicate all aspects of this side of P.O.M.P with you.
