sustainability
At Lost & Fray, sustainability isn't a marketing term—it's the foundation upon which we've built our entire company. As a women-led brand rooted in Singapore, we've witnessed firsthand the urgency of climate action and the power of conscious business to drive change.
We’d rather tell you exactly what we do than make big promises. Here’s what our pieces are made of, how they’re made, and where we’re still improving.
the case for
why bamboo
For the Planet
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth and regrows from its own roots after harvest, so it doesn’t need replanting.
For Your Comfort
Bamboo viscose is soft, smooth and breathable, with a drape that moves with you. We designed every piece for Singapore’s humidity and air-conditioned offices, and it’s the fabric our customers reach for when the heat hits.
For Your Wellbeing
All our fabrics are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning they’re independently tested for harmful substances. Many customers with sensitive skin tell us our pieces are the most comfortable they own.
crafted with integrity
where it is made
Designed in Singapore. Made in China, where our bamboo is also sourced. We maintain close relationships with our material suppliers and conduct regular factory visits to ensure standards align with our values—building partnerships rooted in transparency rather than transactions.
Certified Excellence
Our commitment to responsibility is verified by independent third-party certification:
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 — our fabrics are tested and certified free from harmful substances.
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) — our packaging uses paper from responsibly managed forests.
ECOCERT Greenlife — our organic bamboo meeting strict standards for purity, ensuring what touches your skin is as clean as possible.
your role
Choosing Lost & Fray means choosing slower fashion, lasting quality, and mindful consumption. But sustainability doesn't end at purchase. We encourage you to:
Care consciously
Wash in cold water, air dry when possible, and repair rather than replace. Our garments are designed to last—give them the care that maintains this longevity.
be an outfit repeater
The most sustainable garment is the one you wear repeatedly. Our versatile designs are created to work hard in your wardrobe.
pass forward
When you've loved a piece to its fullest, pass it to someone who will love it next. Quality deserves a second life.
beyond the fabric
Transparency as Standard
As a women-led company, we understand that true sustainability extends from bamboo forests to factory floors. We maintain close partnerships with suppliers who share our commitment to fair wages and safe conditions, visiting facilities regularly and choosing long-term relationships over short-term savings. Our approach is simple: educate over market, admit imperfections over claim perfection, and improve continuously over declare victory.
The Journey Continues
Sustainability isn't static. We're actively researching plant-based dyes, investigating carbon-offset shipping, developing garment take-back programs, and supporting bamboo reforestation beyond our supply chain. This work is ongoing, evolving, and non-negotiable—because luxury that harms the planet isn't luxury at all.
Your Part in the Story
Every Lost & Fray purchase is a vote for fashion that values earth as much as elegance. We invite you to extend this commitment through conscious care—wash cold, air dry, repair rather than replace, and pass pieces forward when their chapter with you concludes. The most sustainable garment is the one worn extensively and loved completely.
Together, we're proving that Asian brands can lead the global conversation on sustainable luxury—and that the future of fashion is both beautiful and responsible.
