At Heidi Merrick, we are committed to sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices. We believe that fashion can and should be sustainable, and we are proud to create high-quality, ethically-made garments that you can feel good about wearing.
As a small fashion brand, we understand the importance of reducing our environmental impact and supporting local communities. That's why we prioritize using sustainable materials and ethical manufacturing practices, and we make every effort to source our materials from local and domestic suppliers whenever possible.

Handling & caring for your HEIDI MERRICK pieces gently helps them to last a long time, conserve natural resources, and keep the textile waste out of landfills. 

Most premium fabrics need to be dry cleaned, linens and natural fibers can be hand washed for the most part. Especially swim, which should be rinsed with cold water after every wear and set to lay in the shade to dry.

Hang Dry whenever possible & try to avoid machine drying. This keeps the fabrics stronger and maintains the garments integrity, while also saving electricity.

We suggest waiting to dry clean until it's truly needed. When you do dry clean, try to find someone environmentally conscious cleaner who avoids harmful chemicals.

Use a steamer and avoid the iron, to keep the natural flow and essence of the piece.

Use a tailor to make sure your pieces are fitting just right. Every body is different and adjusting your piece by a little tuck here or a little let out there can help it to fit you perfectly. 

Repurpose pieces if they just aren't inspiring you anymore. Try to shorten a full length dress or dye something a fresh hue, the options are endless. Repair minor damages at home when you can. Fix broken straps or pulls in knits by pulling the loose thread carefully to the next stitch with a dull needle while gently stretching the garment.

If you'd like help repairing your item, send a photo to info@heidimerrick.com and we will be happy to suggest an idea! 

Re-sell at a local consignment shop or on an online platform, someone else might be inspired to bring this piece back to life! 

Organize a clothing swap with your friends and trade for that other HEIDI MERRICK piece you wanted but didn't buy because they have it. 

Donate or recycle selectively - garment donations and recycling are a challenge for the apparel industry. Donation centers are in inundated with used garments so much that only about 10 - 20% of the items make it into the hands of a new owner (Council for Textile Recycling 2018).
