Our Story

Cucumberlane was created in 2020 as a production company. Alongside film we have always been passionate about clothing. So we built a sustainable, ECO friendly clothing brand that companies the film industry with quirky hand drawn designs.

Sustainability

Putting the environment first (Message from Teemill)

When we read that 10% of worldwide CO2 comes from clothing, that 60% of clothes are made from or with plastic and that a dump truck of textiles waste goes to landfill or incineration every second, we knew we wanted to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. That's why we set out to become the UK's sustainable print-on-demand t-shirt supplier and built the first circular economy in sustainable fashion. Our products are made from GOTS certified organic materials, using renewable energy and designed to come back to be remanufactured when they're worn out.

It's the advanced technology in our circular supply chain that makes this possible. Out in business-as-usual land, clothes are mass produced speculatively, producing massive amounts of waste: 40% of clothing is never worn. Our sustainable t-shirt printing software prints products in the seconds after they've been ordered, and dropshipping directly to the customer saves transport costs and lowers emissions. Those savings are spent on making organic cotton farming and renewables affordable. Robotics does the same thing, making the packing process 30% more efficient so the 10X increased cost of using sustainable packaging made from plants, not plastic is covered.
