When I discovered the damaging effects of wearing plastic clothing, I knew I had to take action...
Plastic Everywhere
Growing up, I wore clothing made from polyester, nylon, and spandex without a second thought—never realizing they were all forms of plastic.
A single look at my closet revealed that nearly everything I owned was made from these synthetic fibers, prompting me to question what I was really putting on my body every day.
Fibers That Shed
It’s widely known that plastic decomposes slowly and harms the environment, yet the dangers of wearing plastic often go unnoticed.
Synthetic fibers shed microplastics that can be absorbed through the skin and become airborne as dust, which we inhale—potentially leading to serious health risks.
Even More Concerns
As I continued, I uncovered more unsettling truths. Many garments are treated with toxic chemicals like formaldehyde—linked to skin irritation, respiratory problems, and cancer.
Even worse, countless garments are made under exploitative, inhumane conditions—highlighting the urgent need for a more ethical and responsible approach to clothing.
The Pure Bay Difference
At Pure Bay, we believe in doing things the right way—from how we source our materials to how we treat the people who bring our clothing to life. Our garments are completely free of plastic and harmful chemicals, designed to outlast typical pieces and reduce waste.
We use Supima cotton from family-owned American farms for our tees and high-quality organic cotton for our sweatshirts—delivering exceptional comfort and durability without compromise.
We also work exclusively with manufacturers that provide fair wages and safe, healthy working conditions—never exposing workers to hazardous chemicals or exploitative labor.
The result? Clothing that’s better for you, better for workers, and better for the planet.
