Sustainability in Progress: How We're Building CSARA Consciously
At CSARA, we’re not just here to create beautiful golf and lifestyle wear. We're here to build a brand with purpose. From the beginning, we've been committed to making decisions that align with a more conscious and considered future for fashion. That includes how we source, produce, and package every piece we design.
As a new brand, we're not perfect but we're making active choices within our resources to move in the right direction.
Our Approach to Materials
One of the key areas we’re focusing on is fabric. Where possible, we’ve chosen to work with recycled fibres and more responsible synthetics that balance performance with a lighter environmental footprint.
Our first collection includes materials that incorporate recycled polyester blends designed for stretch, breathability, and durability. These choices allow us to deliver functional, flattering garments without compromising on feel or movement while still reducing reliance on virgin plastics.
We know these aren’t 100 percent sustainable materials yet. But every percentage counts, and as we grow, so will our ability to innovate further and push for even higher standards.
Packaging & Details That Matter
All of our packaging, from the mailing bags to the wrapping tissue and labels, is made from recycled paper. We’ve stripped things back to essentials and made them as planet-friendly as possible without sacrificing the unboxing experience.
We’ve also introduced bamboo golf tees, a small but deliberate switch from plastic that reflects the kind of choices we’ll keep making as we grow.
What Conscious Fashion Means to Us
Being a conscious brand doesn't just mean adding a recycled label. It means making thoughtful, transparent choices and committing to doing better over time. Here's what that looks like for CSARA:
- Prioritising recycled materials where possible
- Producing in small, intentional runs to avoid excess
- Choosing low-impact packaging
- Working only with partners who align with our values
We’re learning and evolving as we grow and we’ll be sharing more on our journey, including the challenges and trade-offs we face along the way.
Looking Ahead: Our Winter Collection
Creating this summer collection has been an exciting and rewarding experience that’s already feeding into an even more developed winter collection. We’re introducing knits, thermal-based layers, zip-ups, and trousers to expand the offering and bring more choice into the range. We're especially excited about our outerwear, which adds warmth and structure to see us through the colder months. This year, I’m no longer a fair-weather golfer.
The Road Ahead
We’re already exploring lower-impact dyeing processes, mono-material alternatives, and ways to reduce microplastic shedding in synthetics. These things take time but they’re on our radar and part of our roadmap.
Thank you for supporting a brand that’s building consciously, not just quickly.
