We now finally have a small selection of our artwork available to purchase as prints!
This is a really exciting option for us to be able to provide to you and we have not take the decision lightly.
Who is our Print on demand partner and why?
After much research and discussion, our chosen print partner is Teemill. This is a brand who's vision is to help brands end waste and they are already doing an incredible job. With their circular economy and truly sustianable set up, Teemill were an immediate front runner for us.
They own their entire supply chain, from fibre to re-fabrication, using organic cotton grown in monsoon heavy regions of India. By keeping the materials stream simple they are able to remanufacture items when they’re worn out, and owning the entire supply chain means they can also optimise and iterate for sustainability at every stage.
All of our art prints purchased online are printed on premium quality 300gsm, 100% recycled heavyweight stock.
How does print of demand work for Alma Cara Studio?
This is a truly sustainable and ethical brand who's values align closely with ours. It means we are able to provide print options to you without large outlay upfront when we are still very much exploring our selling landscape. It also means that we aren't needlessly creating items that are not required yet.
When you select and order a print from the online shop, Teemill are notified and will custom print your order directly. If you purchase any of our apparel, they will also include details on how to re-mill it with the item. Re-milling is Teemill's circular economy- you can ship them your worn down items or previous purchases that are no longer required and they recycle this and use the material again in their production. How cool is that?
They are not the cheapest on demand solution we could have chosen (far from it!), and the fulfilment isn't next day either... but it is so important to both Paris and I that what we do is good for the planet and responsible. Plus, we think there is something really special about having to actually wait for something every now again too.
This seems like a really exciting opportunity and we are keen to see how it works out. We hope you love their ethos and quality as much as we do!
Now, shall we have a little browse through the print options?
