About
We are an ethical, thought provoking apparel line using eco-conscious, sustainable and fair trade threads.
We are based out of Kumkumalay (Vancouver) Canada on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
We are proud to be affiliated in co-op with the Indigenous owned and operated apparel line Love the Land. As a settler company we commit to respecting the land, culture and peoples and make it our mission to educate ourselves and inspire others through our content, apparel and the garments we source.
OUR RE-PURPOSED COLLECTION
To combat the effects of fast fashion waste, we offer repurposed shirts for our designs. If you love thrift shopping and a great deal you will LOVE shopping for one of a kind items from our repurposed collection. Email us with special requests at info@unsettledapparel.ca.
LAST STAND FOR OLD GROWTH
A portion of proceeds from our Last Stand for Old Growth will be donated yearly to The Last Stand Legal Defense Fund. Learn more at https://laststandforforests.com/.

Their manufacturing facilities and LA Headquarters produce almost no landfill as they recycle mostly everything that can't be turned into a tee. They have optimized cutting to reduce plastic use, and excess fabric is recycled into a number of things like baby bibs and stuffing for upholstery.
