At Love From Ann Arbor, we believe that fashion should be as kind to the planet as it is stylish. That’s why we’ve partnered with printing suppliers who are revolutionizing the way clothing is made. By choosing an on-demand production model, we’re reducing waste, conserving energy, and making thoughtful choices at every step of the process.
You might not realize it, but every time you place an order with us, you’re taking part in a movement that’s shaping the future of sustainable fashion. Let’s take a closer look at how your purchase makes a difference.
A Smarter Way to Make Clothing
Did you know that traditional fashion manufacturing often creates excess products that never find a home? These unworn garments end up in landfills or incinerators, contributing to pollution and environmental harm. On-demand production offers a simple yet powerful solution: only make what’s needed.
With our model, every item is made-to-order. This means:
✔ No wasted stock – Every piece is created because someone truly wants it.
✔ Less textile waste – We never mass-produce, so there’s no overstock to discard.
✔ A cleaner process – Our printing technology minimizes wastewater and conserves energy.
The Eco-Friendly Printing Process
Unlike traditional mass-production methods, we use direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, a cutting-edge technique that significantly reduces environmental impact. Here’s how it works:
- Ink is sprayed directly onto the fabric, soaking into the fibers like printing on paper.
- This process eliminates excess dye runoff, meaning almost zero wastewater is produced.
- Our Kornit printers use less energy than standard industry printers, further reducing our carbon footprint.
And it doesn’t stop there! The inks we use are Oeko-Tex™ certified, meaning they’re free from harmful chemicals, vegan, and water-based. Even the leftover ink is carefully disposed of following strict environmental guidelines.
More Than Just Sustainable—It’s Personal
We love that every item we produce is unique to the person who orders it. Rather than a mass-produced, factory-made piece, your product is printed just for you, adding a personal touch to every purchase.
By supporting on-demand production, you’re making a mindful decision to reduce waste and invest in sustainable fashion. Every small choice adds up, and together, we can create a brighter, greener future—one thoughtful order at a time.
