We’ve paused shipping to the EU due to customs delays.
Free UK shipping on orders over £150.
Update for EU customers: We have paused all shipping to EU countries with immediate effect. Increased customs checks and new EU shipping regulations are causing significant delays and added costs that we are unable to absorb as a small business. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope to resume EU shipping in the future. This does not affect non-EU European countries such as Norway, Switzerland and Iceland, and we continue to ship to the UK and the rest of the world.
Our Ethics
At Sahara Boston
Sustainability
We source our garments carefully
At Sahara Boston we care deeply about the environment and want to minimise any harmful effects as much as possible.
All our garments have been carefully sourced from selected suppliers for their high quality and are approved by and members of the Fair Wear Foundation, which ensures ethical trade and justice for workers. They are produced by sustainable manufacturing that minimises negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources. All raw materials are fully traceable, grown and produced in ways that do not harm people, animals or the environment.
Our Process
Respecting the environment and the world in which we live
After carefully selecting our garments, they are then individually screen printed by hand using high quality water based inks. No plastisol inks are used at all, and so no unnecessary chemicals are needed. All equipment can be cleaned with water. The inks are made permanent by going through a heat tunnel that reaches 250c. The prints can then be safely washed and ironed over, and the print lasts for as long as the garment lasts.
