Our Sustainable Brands Featuring Hammies

Why Is Cotton Better Than Polyester?
For this blog, I want to explain the importance of choosing natural fibers and why they are better for you, the environment, and your closet. Let’s take cotton and polyester.

Spell’s 100% Sustainable Collection: Meadowland
The Meadowland collection is Spell’s first 100% sustainable collection. And even though Spell has always made its collections with sustainability in mind, this collection marks a massive milestone for Spell. To be even a little sustainable in clothing production requires a decent amount of effort, but to be completely sustainable requires an enormous commitment.
Our Roots
Meadow Collective was born 15 years ago, but its story started way before the shop opened. Ever since I can remember, I’ve had an entrepreneurial spirit. Growing up, I remember making little bracelets and selling them to my friends. I remember selling fruit I picked off our trees on the sidewalk. This was the beginning of everything.
