Our Sustainability Journey

In a world of fast fashion and constantly changing clothing trends it is so important at Smeeny Made Wild that we do as much as possible to reduce our impact on the environment and create high quality, long-lasting products that you are proud to wear.

From eco-friendly packaging to ethically and sustainably sourced materials, your adventure goods have been made with love, care, and the planet in mind.

“Getting outside and enjoying the beauty that nature has to offer has made such a huge impact on my life. Living in the mountains of Colorado, an outdoor lifestyle is why I chose to call this home. I truly believe that what we do makes a difference and that the choices we make are a part of that. “

-Chereen, Owner, Maker, and Designer of Smeeny made wild

Eco-friendly packaging

Every order from Smeeny Made Wild is shipped in minimal plastic-free packaging made from 100% recycled and recyclable packaging materials. The world of consumer shopping is increasingly online and how we package our goods matters. The more we can reduce unnecessary packaging and materials that end up in landfills, the more we can minimize our negative impact on the environment. By using sustainable packaging materials, I hope I can encourage our customers to recognize that this is something that matters and to reduce, reuse, and recycle!


Ethical and sustainable Yarns

Not all wools are created equal and I am so proud to source high quality wool yarn from companies that are dedicated to being as ethical and sustainable as possible as well as ensuring ethical and sustainable practice throughout their supply chains. These wool yarns are sourced from Peru and Uruguay where mulesing is not practiced and colored with environmentally safe dyes. These companies also ensure ethical working conditions and fair wages down the supply chain.

Giving Back to Environmental and Social Justice

Giving back and supporting organizations who do work in environmental justice, climate change, racial and social justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, women’s rights, and mental health are some of the many things that are important to our ethical and sustainable business journey. As a 1% for the Planet member, Smeeny Made Wild donates 1% of all revenue to approved environmental nonprofit organizations.

How are your beanies made? Every Smeeny Beanie is handmade by me. I LOVE knitting and put great care into every piece I create. Items that I don’t make, like the cork tags and faux fur pom poms are sourced from other small makers and our intentionally curated adventure goods are sourced from or in collaboration with aligned brands and artists that care about the planet as much as I do! We are stronger together and I am excited to be able to support other small businesses too!
