Sustainability & Transparency at Mia & The Sea

At Mia & The Sea, we believe fashion should never come at the cost of our planet. That’s why sustainability and transparency are at the heart of everything we do. From the way we design our collections to how your order is produced and delivered, every step is guided by a conscious choice to protect the oceans and the environment we love so deeply.

Why We Use Print-On-Demand

Unlike traditional fashion brands, we don’t mass-produce products. Instead, we use a print-on-demand model. This means:

Your order is printed only when you purchase it.

We don’t hold piles of unsold stock that could end up in landfill.

While some products may sit in a supplier’s warehouse, our prints are not mass-produced — your chosen design is only printed after your order is placed.

This approach supports slow fashion, reducing waste and overproduction.

We don’t personally make the products ourselves — instead, our items are printed and shipped by trusted suppliers. And we’ve chosen these suppliers very carefully.

Our Suppliers: Ethical, Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

We partner with suppliers who share our values. Here’s how they’re helping us keep our promise to the planet:

Eco-friendly production: Using water-based, non-toxic inks that are safer for the environment.

Responsible sourcing: Fabrics that are organic, recycled, or created with a lower environmental impact.

Ethical working conditions: Suppliers who prioritize fair wages, safe workplaces, and respect for the people who make our products.

Smarter shipping: Orders are often fulfilled from facilities closer to you, lowering carbon emissions from transport.

Why Transparency Matters

We believe you deserve to know exactly where your products come from and how they’re made. By being open about our print-on-demand model and supplier partnerships, we’re showing that fashion can be beautiful, ethical, and sustainable — without the need for mass production.

When you shop with Mia & The Sea, you’re not just buying apparel — you’re joining a movement. A movement that says we care about our oceans, our planet, and the people behind the products.

Protect. Respect. Love Our Oceans.

Every hoodie, tee, or accessory you order carries a bigger purpose. It’s a reminder that small choices — like choosing eco-conscious, ocean-inspired fashion — can create a huge impact. Together, we can protect the sea, its wildlife, and our shared future.

With love and ocean vibes,

Alicia
