Sustainability & Ethics

Good Threads. Better Intentions.

We’re not here to greenwash. We’re here to do what we can, as best we know how, while still making stuff worth wearing. Nearly Offensive was built around the idea that looking good shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. We hate fast fashion.

We print everything on demand, use organic or recycled materials where possible, and partner only with suppliers who meet real ethical standards. We're open and we're transparent.

Printing on Demand, Not Producing on Mass

Everything we make is printed on demand with ethical, audited suppliers, and every material choice is made with transparency in mind.

We don’t bulk-produce or warehouse mountains of stock. Every item is printed only after you order it. That means:

No overproduction (the biggest fashion waste problem)
Lower emissions, because nothing ships until it’s needed
No landfill guilt, because unsold stock simply doesn’t exist

To make it even smarter, we partner with print facilities around the globe - the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Asia - so your order is printed and shipped from the location closest to you.
Fewer miles, less carbon, same Nearly Offensive attitude.

It’s slower, smarter, and leaves room for better choices.

The Nearly Offensive Rewear Initiative

Returns happen. Trends fade. But clothes don’t have to die for it.

Through our Nearly Offensive Rewear Initiative, returned items in good condition are passed along to local charities via one of our digital-nomad humans in Thailand. Those threads are redistributed to communities in Northern Thailand - from those who have too much, to those who have too little.

It’s not some corporate CSR program; it’s just a good idea that keeps good clothes in circulation.

Our Materials

Organic Cotton — GOTS-certified, PETA-approved, OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
Ethically Produced — No sweatshops, no child labour, no exploitation.
Premium Blanks Only — From responsible brands like AS Colour, Stella/Stanley and Econscious.
Vegan-friendly Inks & Dyes — Because cruelty has no place in creativity.

If it’s not traceable, we don’t use it. If it’s not ethical, we don’t sell it.

Made by Humans, Not Machines

Behind every product is a small team of real people who actually care - not a boardroom full of shareholders. We don’t chase trends, investors, or arbitrary drops. We chase good ideas, good design, and good impact.

We’re based in Bordeaux, but we work with creators, printers, and partners across the world who share our belief that style without ethics is just noise.

Perfect? Nope. Honest? Always.

We’re not trying to save the planet - just trying not to wreck it. Every collection teaches us something new, and every decision is made with impact in mind.

We’ll keep improving materials, processes, and partnerships as we grow. Until then, you can expect wearable statements that tread a little lighter, last a little longer, and mean a little more.
