Sustainably Cute – The QT’s Kind-Hearted Commitment
Cute Outside. Conscious Inside.
At The QT, every stitch, print, and decision is made with care. Sustainability isn’t just something we talk about — it’s woven into our DNA. From our materials to our makers, we’ve designed every part of the process to be joyful, responsible, and kind to every kind.
Designed for Circularity
We believe that fashion should never be throwaway. That’s why our clothes are:
- GOTS-certified organic cotton – soft, breathable, and grown without toxic chemicals
- Plastic-free – including threads, tags, and buttons
- Made to last – ready to be re-loved, re-looped, or returned to the earth
Our design process prioritises longevity and ease of recycling. Every item is created to support a circular, waste-free future.
Made with Heart
We produce in small batches with trusted ethical factories that prioritise:
- Safe, respectful working conditions
- Living wages and skilled craftsmanship
- Careful quality control to ensure each piece is ready for real play and long life
We’re proud of every hand and heart that helps bring The QT to life.
Plastic-Free
No polyester blends. No hidden synthetics. Not even in the thread.
We’re serious about our plastic-free promise — from the fabrics to the buttons to our compostable packaging and recycled mailers.
Because real sustainability means no greenwashing, and no shortcuts.
Kind to Animals
We don’t use any animal-derived materials. No wool, leather, silk or down. Just planet-kind, child-kind, and animal-kind cotton.
Our prints are animal-inspired in the best way: joyful, expressive, and celebrating nature’s cutest characters.
A Note on Circularity vs. Sustainability
Sustainability means doing less harm. Circularity means designing for never-ending good.
While we focus on both, this page is a deeper dive into the how. If you're curious about the loops we’ve built into The QT’s model, hop over to our Circularity page.
