Understanding our 1 x 108 model:
At One Golden Thread, we believe that fashion should not only feel good—it should do good. Our 1 x 108 model is a simple yet powerful expression of that commitment to regeneration and reciprocity.
From just one regenerative Beech or Eucalyptus tree, our manufacturing partner is able to create at least 108 apparel items—thanks to the incredible efficiency and sustainability of nature-based fibers like those produced by Lenzing™. These trees are not cut down, but rather harvested through a closed-loop process that honors the Earth’s natural rhythms.
In turn, every purchase you make from One Golden Thread results in the planting of a new tree. That means one tree becomes the source of many garments—and those garments give rise to many more trees. The result is a living loop of regeneration:
1 regenerative tree → 108 garments → 108 newly planted trees
It’s more than a model—it’s a movement toward harmonizing commerce with nature, and you’re part of it every time you wrap yourself in golden.
