On a planet so big and vast, we’re supporting the earth by keeping our supply chain small

Our Commitment to a Responsible Supply Chain

Earth Day is a time to reflect on how our daily choices impact the planet. At AYM, responsibility is not just a yearly reflection—it's at the core of our operations every day.

Keeping Our Supply Chain Local

On a planet as vast as ours, even small decisions can create meaningful change. For us, that starts with a localised approach:

• All clothing is made in England, using a carefully managed, local supply chain.
• Most fabrics are milled and dyed in Leicester, UK, with additional sourcing from trusted partners across Europe.
• Garments are crafted by two family-run factories in North London.
• Our warehouse is based in Redhill, Surrey.
• The design studio is located in Sussex, where ideas are developed and shared digitally with our garment technologist working directly from one of our factories.

Every step is intentionally connected and kept as close to home as possible.

Transparency and Traceability

In an industry where supply chains often span continents, our focus on the UK and Europe allows for:

• Shorter transport routes and reduced emissions
• Direct relationships with skilled makers
• Fair pay and safe, respectful working environments
• Long-term partnerships built on trust and shared values

For us, locality is about more than geography—it's about knowing exactly how and where each piece is made.

Thoughtful Production to Reduce Waste

A localised supply chain gives us greater control over production. To avoid overproduction, we:

• Work in small batches
• Offer pre-orders to make only what is needed

This slower, more thoughtful approach helps us reduce waste and remain accountable for what we create.

Responsibility in Every Detail

Our commitment to responsibility extends to every layer of our process:

• We select fabrics that meet rigorous certification standards.
• Packaging is designed for minimal environmental impact.
• We avoid animal products and prioritize durability.
• Our designs are made to be worn for years, not just a season.

Supporting Longevity and Repairs

Responsibility doesn’t end when a garment reaches you. We believe longevity is a shared commitment. Through considered design and our repair service with SOJO, we help extend the life of every piece—because the most sustainable garment is the one you already own.

Local Action for Global Change

Earth Day reminds us that global change is built on local action. While the scale of environmental challenges can feel overwhelming, we focus on what we can control: keeping our supply chain close, intentional, and transparent.

This ethos has been woven into AYM since the beginning and continues to guide us throughout 2026 and beyond.

On a planet so big and vast, staying small truly makes a difference.
