ABOUT US
At STMT, we believe that fashion can be both stylish and sustainable. We offer contemporary clothing options for men and women that are not only visually appealing but also created with the environment in mind. By consciously opting for the better option, we collectively work towards a more sustainable future.
OUR MISSION
At STMT, we believe that there is always a better option available. Our mission is to provide the merchandise and information necessary to make more conscious choices that benefit both your own well-being and the world we live in.
We understand that every decision we make as consumers has an impact, whether it's on the environment, workers in the supply chain, or the overall sustainability of the fashion industry. By choosing the better option, even in small ways, we can contribute to a positive ripple effect that influences others to do the same.
SUSTAINABILITY IS THE NEW STMT.
Educating our customers and the wider community will inspire more people to make conscious choices when it comes to their fashion consumption. By creating the better option, customers have the opportunity to feel confident that they are making a positive impact; that they are supporting a brand that is actively working to reduce the fashion industry's harmful effects on the planet, and advocating for better working conditions for all involved in the production process.
FACTS ABOUT OUR MATERIALS
By prioritizing materials that are sustainably produced and ethically made, we contribute to a healthier planet and promote fair working conditions for garment workers.
Conventional cotton production, for example, involves the use of pesticides and insecticides, which have negative impacts on the environment and human health. By choosing organic cotton, we support a farming method that promotes biodiversity, soil health, and water conservation. STMT also prioritizes the use of natural dyes in our garments. Synthetic dyes often contain toxic chemicals that pollute waterways and harm both aquatic life and the health of workers involved in the dyeing process. In contrast, natural dyes derived from plants offer a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative. These dyes can be sourced from various plant materials like vegetables, fruits, leaves, fungi, and bark wood, providing a wide range of vibrant and beautiful colors.
By working closely with artisans in India who have mastered the art of natural dyeing techniques, STMT is not only promoting sustainable fashion but also preserving cultural heritage. By using organic fibers and natural dyes, STMT ensures that the merchandise is not only fashionable but also reduces the environmental impact of the fashion industry. We are committed to providing our customers with high-quality, sustainable garments that align with their values and contribute to a healthier planet.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
By providing an opportunity for individuals to express their values through clothing choices, STMT recognizes the power of fashion as a form of self-expression. Fashion has the ability to shape society and influence cultural norms, making it an influential tool for creating positive change.
At STMT, we are dedicated to making a powerful statement against fast fashion while promoting sustainable practices within the fashion industry. Our mission is to inspire change and advocate for a healthier planet through conscious consumerism and community engagement. In honor of Earth Day on April 22nd, we organized a community clean-up event on April 27th, 2025, highlighting our commitment to environmental stewardship and the importance of collective action.
Uniting the Community for Positive Change
Our community clean-up initiative exemplifies the vital role of collaboration in creating a healthier environment. By inviting individuals from all walks of life to join us, we aimed to foster a sense of unity and shared responsibility. Together, we tackled litter and pollution, demonstrating how collective efforts can significantly alter the trajectory of our future.
To symbolize our commitment to resilience and adaptability, every volunteer received a complimentary T-shirt featuring "Survival of the Fittest" on the front, reminding us that we can thrive in any environment or situation. On the back of the shirt, we showcased our core values: "Accountability, Community, Pivotal Initiative, Crafted for Tomorrow, Fashion That Endures, Faith in Action, Forward- Focused, and The Better Option." — all under the banner of our brand, STATEMENT. This design reflects our dedication to not only fashion but also to creating a sustainable future through accountability and community support.
Community Celebration
To make our clean-up event even more special, we infused it with a celebratory atmosphere. We provided free food and refreshments, ensuring that everyone stayed energized and engaged throughout the day. Families enjoyed a bounce house and face painting, creating a joyful experience for children and reinforcing the importance of environmental stewardship in a fun and interactive way.
This blend of community service and celebration allowed participants to connect with one another, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. The laughter and excitement echoed the message that caring for our planet can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all ages.
Creating a Lasting Impact
Through our Earth Day clean-up, we not only addressed immediate environmental concerns but also inspired ongoing conversations about sustainability and responsible practices. By engaging our community, we aim to instill a sense of responsibility and awareness that extends beyond this event, encouraging participants to continue advocating for the environment in their daily lives.
At STMT, we are committed to leading the charge against fast fashion and promoting sustainable practices that honor our planet. By uniting our community and celebrating our collective efforts, we can inspire lasting change and create a brighter, more sustainable future for everyone. Together, let’s continue to make our statement in the fashion industry and beyond!
