How Do We Package Your Order?

On top of being a slow fashion company, Papa Giraffe is deeply committed to meaningful sustainability. As a clothing brand, we understand the environmental challenges posed by the widespread use of plastic packaging in the industry. Many of the products we sell and the supplies we receive are packaged in individual plastic wraps, which is why reducing waste and minimizing our carbon footprint has become a fundamental part of our mission.

​

To tackle this issue, we’ve taken proactive measures by asking all our manufacturers to reduce unnecessary plastic packaging and waste in their shipments. Any packaging we do receive is repurposed thoughtfully—it’s reused in our operations, given to our team for practical uses like trash bags, or returned to the manufacturers whenever possible.

​

Additionally, we’ve made a major shift in our packaging materials. Papa Giraffe has moved away from plastic slips in favor of recyclable paper bags. While thin plastic slips are occasionally used for shipping boxes, we encourage our customers to recycle them responsibly by including a clear recycling symbol on the packaging. Even the tape we use has been carefully selected and is made from recycled materials, reflecting our commitment to sustainability.

Through these initiatives, we strive to set an example and work toward a more sustainable future. Each step, no matter how small, is a step closer to making a positive impact on our planet.
