MalibuKnits

The amount of time effort and manufacturing that goes into making apparel is staggering, as is the waste. Our little company started by two people who wanted to make better products for their kids and at the same time not put more trash into the earth. Like anyone else, we bought many pairs of socks, tops, bottoms, hats and accessories for us and our kids. Almost all of them were made in other countries. Some looked great but were cheaply sewn, others didn’t wash well, and more didn’t last long enough to be passed on to another kid. As creative people, imagining all the waste from cutting and sewing all these clothes in far away sweat shops was stunning to say the least.

There had to be a better way!

After many trials and a lot of tangled yarn, we think we've found it!

Each and every product is knitted to shape with finished edges on state of the art, energy efficient machinery, as fully integrated three-dimensional textiles. Other than about a gram or two of yarn entering and leaving the machines, there is literally no waste. Every single stitch has a place and a purpose in our products.

Everything we manufacture is designed here in California and made here in our space. Each item is mindfully created and engineered for comfort, quality, and the sustainability of our planet. Products are designed simply, beautifully, and with no waste. There are no irritating labels or wasteful packaging. This makes our products perfect for kids and adults who are sensitive to seams and labels. We believe in a better product, and a better way of life with:
• No waste
• No sweat shops
• No pesticides or chemicals of concern

By making each item one at a time or in small batches we get to slow down and choose the ingredients we want next to our skin. We only the finest natural, recycled, and recyclable synthetic materials, like hemp, organic cotton, 50/50 recycled polyester and cotton, recycled polyester from drinking bottles, recycled nylon from ocean waste.

We choose quality U.S.A. materials before considering others.
Buying local reduces our carbon footprint.
