Womxn-Owned. Womxn-Led. Self-Funded.
FOUR OBJECTS is committed to refining a business model that reflects our values by maintaining an ongoing engagement with wearers, producers and the planet.
We openly challenge the notion that you need more and more. We defy the business model that says profit at the expense of others. And we laugh at the notion of an ideal body.
We believe that sustainability begins with beautiful design whose form and functionality makes up its core.
The most impact any of us can have is to use what we have and keep what we buy for a long time.
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
When designing the Collection our first intention is to make something of high quality that will last a long time and be loved, repaired and passed down. It's all about finding the right materials to create.
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
We prioritize natural organic materials, recycled noble fibers and avoid microplastics and non-recyclables. We seek partners committed to reducing energy and resources in dyeing, finishing, water usage and care.
CONDUCT + ETHICS
Whether it's Peru, Italy, Portugal, Japan or the USA we look for majority womxn partners that share our values. While we often stay local, we also believe in supporting incredible global makers like Art Atlas, a woman-owned business with vertical sustainability practices and a deep community investment.
4% BACK
4% of sales from your every purchase is donated to the communities who produced your garment. Learn more about your ongoing donations to community health, childcare, education and social services on our Stories page.
DEAD STOCK
Deadstock is the vestigal yardage of cloth no longer in production. We have scoured our Japanese mills for heritage fabrics that no one else has and no one ever will, just for you.
CIRCULARITY
All fabric scraps and unrepairable returns are recycled through FabScrap and GrowNYC. All wearable returns, prototypes & seconds and repaired pieces are available through 4WORN.
MADE IN THE USA
Our Rabbit Jacket is woven in upstate NY and expertly crafted in NYC along with our best selling Work Shirts, Silk Archive Shirt and Dress.
People + Planet, not just profits.
We are part of a global network of change driving to transform the economic system into a more just, inclusive, equitable, and regenerative global economy. We stand against all forms of oppression, including racism, transphobia, classism, sexism, and xenophobia.
Clean. Intentional & Responsible for a reason.
