VANC/TY | Vancouver, a place where toques are acceptable at all times of the year. Especially, organic ones 👌 ⠀ The rad thing about our toques is they are fully natural. This was not an easy task. We couldn’t find any pre-made fully natural ones so we set out to make our own. We spent a several months sourcing to ensure the toque was fully natural. The yarn is organic cotton, the thread is Tencel, the label is cotton and the care and content label is paper. It can’t get any more sustainable than that. ⠀ ⠀ The only thing we had to bend on was dyes because we wanted to have a few colour ways and still wanted the toque to be affordable. If we had used natural dyes it would have added about $20 to the retail price. Although it’s much more expensive to dye in North America, we decided to have them dyed with reactive dyes in the USA where the regulations on water filtration are much more stringent than overseas. This is the best we could do at this time but we hope to have a fully natural or waterless dye for the toques in the future.⠀ ⠀ Our toques turned out amazingly. They are super soft and surprisingly breathable. They’re more ideal for everyday style use and in dryer weather. ⠀ ⠀ If you’re interested in wholesaling these toques from me, shoot me an email @ kdorey@novelsupply.com 🙌⠀ 📷 @devanfrancis ⠀ #toque #beanie #organictoque #organicbeanie #organichat #madeinnorthamerica #ethical #ethicalfashion #sustainablefashion #consciousfashion #wearthechange #bethechange #organichats #fashionrev #fashionrevcanada #sustainableclothing #novelwears #novelhats #naturalfibre #organiccotton #organic #sustainablelifestyle #zerowaste #consciousconsumer (at West End, Vancouver) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SOl1-hEPs/?igshid=1letymhgadcd5

MOUNTA/N | I have been MIA at my cabin with about 20 friends and family following my brothers wedding last week. If I had to put it all into one word, it would be #majestic.⠀ ⠀ My whole family and the wedding party also repped @novelsupplyco the whole time we were at the cabin which made it easy to snag photos like this one of Seb (my cousin’s bf) hiking up #KokaneeGlacier.⠀ ⠀ As far behind as I feel right now, since there is no reception at my cabin, it was more than worth it.⠀ ⠀ I love escaping and taking a social media break. I think it’s so important for our mental states since we live in a world that is so tech-heavy. ⠀ ⠀ Will you be taking a SM break this summer? If so, where are you headed too? 📷 @ameliahuggons ⠀ #socialmediapause #adventure #adventurealways #novelwears #noveladventures #sustainableapparel #wearthechange #hemp #organiccotton #naturalfibres #mountains #hiking #cabin #lake #kootenaylake #summervibes #hellobc #explorebc #socialmediabreak (at Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tmXmOBA_H/?igshid=16uhm2is06vcx

ORGAN/C | I cannot tell you how stoked I am to finally have GOTS certified, organic cotton, made in North America toques in hand. You will not find these toques anywhere because they were custom made for NOVEL 🙌 The process was lengthy and figuring out how to make it the MOST sustainable down to the Canadian-made natural tag and Tencel thread was a challenge. There were countless texts and calls with my supplier but we finally did it 💪. The dyes are the one thing that aren’t natural because to naturally dye 130 beanies is a major feat and really not financially feasible at this point. They are, however, dyed with reactive dyes (less harmful on the 🌎) in the US. Having apparel dyed in Canada 🇨🇦 or the US 🇺🇸 is better than having it dyed overseas because our regulations are much more stringent than in other countries. It ensures that all the waste water isn’t just dumped into our waterways without being filtered first. It isn’t perfect but it’s as close to perfect as I can get at this moment in time. I wanted to be completely transparent with this process so you know the amount of research, dedication and time that went into making this product and that it isn’t just another plastic toque. The first colour to be launched will be Mustard Yellow. The Organic Toque will retail for $35. If you’d like to pre-order, send me a DM with your email, first and last name and I’ll put you on the list. Otherwise, come down and snag one at @khatsahlano or @carfreedaydrive in person this weekend! I’ll be posting them online next week. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter to be the first to know when they launch 🚀. #novelwears #sustainablefashion #vancouver #plasticfree #madeinNorthAmerica #minimalist #ethicalfashion #dailyhivevancouver #plasticfreejuly #consciousclothing #consciousfashion #buylesschoosewell #consciousconsumer #ethicalstyle #sustainablestyle #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #ecofriendlyfashion #ecofashionista #mindfulfashion #ethicalshopping #sustainableshopping #wearthechange #shopslow (at NOVEL SUPPLY CO.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgbzZjBhrp/?igshid=1b5292bs2ccgu

OC3AN | A few days ago, we supported a Shoreline Cleanup hosted by Matthew Pattinson, an avid sailor, scuba diver and lover of all things marine life. Unfortunately, I was away in the UK but I donated a crew and some water bottles and connected Matt to everyone I knew that may want to attend the event. They cleaned up the Shoreline near #DavidLamPark and hosted a conversation about #microplastic pollution from apparel after the cleanup. Matthew believes that as purveyors of the outdoors and natural playground, we have a calling to be caretakers and I couldn’t agree more. Here are some photo’s from the event taken by the very talented, @shotbydevan who has actually been a NOVEL supporter from day one. It’s only fitting he would be the photographer for this event. Also, congrats to Severine who won one of our Cabin Crews at the event! #novelwears #protectouroceans #unenvironment #microplastics #naturalfibres #plasticpollution #beatplasticpollution #sustainableoceans #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion #dailyhivevancouver #consciousfashion #buylesschoosewell #ecofriendlyfashion #mindfulfashion #wearthechange⁣ (at David Lam Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByO8tZvhqNH/?igshid=b3iumrlfi8rx

LAUNCH | Drink, rinse, repeat. A simple statement but a grand reminder of our responsibility to make less waste in the world ♻️. We're not upset about the fact that you'll have the raddest mug while doing it either 😎. Statement created by our contest recipient, @get.changed.⁣ ⁣ **Expected ship date mid-late May**⁣ ⁣ This limited edition mug was designed by @jordan.taylor.young, a Vancouver local who is currently residing in Cologne, Germany to learn German and fulfill her love of currywurst 🌭. Much of her inspo comes from her everyday life, the environment and her friends and family and is seen throughout her funky but minimalist design aesthetic. She is also a very talented photographer and has 📷 for NOVEL on multiple occasions. More to come from this rad artist!
