The products that we sell at Gringo are not mass produced factory made goods. They are made by small scale producers, sometimes at home and details are often hand sewn or hand printed. Please be aware of this when purchasing from us as our items do vary from garment to garment, depending on the dyes and fabrics available and sometimes down to the mood of the person creating our beautiful pieces of art. Our Clothing is often made up from upcycled scrap fabrics from our garment production, so reuse the off cuts and stop the excess material going to landfil, all of our patchwork products are made this way. Where possible we use sustainable natural products and our fleece is made from recycled plastic bottles. Most of our wooden items are made from coconut or Abesia wood which is a quick growing soft wood, the trees reach maturity within a couple of years and grow to around 70ft, The coconut we use is a by product from the food industry and this again helps with stopping excess waste materials. We are passionate about fair trade and always visit our suppliers every few months, we visit the factories and sources of where the products are being produced, our suppliers are all small scale producers and we never deal with large factories so our products are not from huge runs, each product is from a small batch and colours and embroiderys do differ from the original sometimes. We have long standing relationships with our suppliers some who we have been dealing with for over 20 years, this relationship is helped build our brand into something special. Thank you for supporting us and helping us to support others who need it.
