Our Commitment
We really like this planet, and are doing everything we can to make sure we're not making things worse. We even hope to make things kinda better? Here's how..
We think it's good to help people
And we want to contribute to making lives just a little bit easier. We use Shop for Good to integrate charitable donations right into our checkout process, so that with every purchase you make, 10% goes to two causes we care about: the Native Women's Association of Canada, and Dress for Success Toronto.
A bit more about the causes we're supporting

Our Packaging
We know it's important for your new treasures to arrive to you safely, so we found a weather-proof solution that isn't going to stick around in a landfill for hundreds of years. Our current shipping mailers are 100% biodegradable, but we're always keeping our eyes out for even more earth-friendly options!
Our Suppliers
As a small independent business, we work with others to create our final products. Right now, we work with one supplier in China to print and hem our scarves. We always order in very small quantities (think between 5-10 of each design per size) to reduce any excess waste. Our factory partner in Hangzhou have been OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified for their silk products, as well as the inks they use to print on.
For our handmade paper greeting cards and plantable envelopes, we are so proud to work with our Canadian supplier- Botanical Paperworks, who are women-owned and B-Corp certified.

Our Buy-Back program
All of our designs are made with the hopes that they'll be a treasured part of your wardrobe for a long time. That said, if you're no longer feeling the love, we are happy to offer a buy-back program for any of our products. We hope that by offering a chance for us to buy back your pre-loved Little Goat Studio pieces, we'll be doing our part to close the loop and take responsibility for our products throughout their entire lifespan.
Oh yeah.. we also provide carbon neutral shipping on all orders
Through the Shopify Planet add-on, for every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon our shipments created. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.
