Ungalli Clothing Co. GIVEAWAY

Canadian based Ungalli Clothing Co. describe their brand as ‘a fierce determination to change the way people think about their clothes‘, offering a range of casual and active wear made from recycled plastic bottles, recycled cotton, and scraps from cotton factory floors.

Based out of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Ungalli Clothing Co. designs and produces a collection of t-shirts, sweaters, hats and tanks using 100% sustainable materials.

I first heard of Ungalli Clothing Co. on Instagram, intrigued by their designs inspired by African nature, and of course the recycled material used to produce them.

The two ladies behind Ungalli Clothing Co. are Hailey and Bree Hollinsworth, sisters born and raised on a farm in Northern Ontario, Canada surrounded by horses, hayfields, and the scenic Kaministiquia River.

Hailey and Bree have shared their inspiration, vision and beautiful story behind their unique brand with Recycled Fashion readers:

What inspired you to start your clothing line?

Our mother read us a story every night about a group of African animals struggling through a great hunger.  The childhood story that inspired our business idea is called The Name of the Tree by Celia Barker Lottridge. The story takes place during a drought in Africa and none of the animals can find food or water.

All the jungle animals decide to work together to find food and they come across a tree filled with luscious fruit. The branches are too high for any of the animals to reach and the tortoise remembers his great, great grandmother telling him to chant the “name of the tree” to get the branches to come down. Only the king of the jungle knows the name of the tree and all the animals must come together to find the king. After finding out the name of the tree, they all chant the word and see the branches lower before their eyes. The name of the tree is Ungalli and it is seen as the animal’s saviour from starvation. This is exactly the message Ungalli Clothing Co. wants to represent. We want our customers to understand that we need to work together to make this planet a happier and healthier place for all.

Who designed your clothing brand artwork and will there be more designs in the future?

Do you only sell online or do you stock in stores / sell at markets?

Ungalli sell’s online as well as at markets, carts and kiosks in malls, with plans to sell wholesale into stores where the brand will be always be available.

Where are your clothes produced?

What are the future plans for Ungalli Clothing Co.?

The Ungalli team is dedicated to creating a line of sustainable and casual clothing that defies all misconceptions that eco friendly clothing is “earthy” or “crunchy”. Doing good for the world by changing what you wear, does not mean you have to sacrifice your style and the way you express yourself to the world. We believe that sustainable fashion should be suited to your everyday life, no matter where that life may take you. Ungalli plans to keep moving with fashion forward designs, connecting with new charities and organizations we can help, educating people on sustainable fashion, and adding more variety to our line. This winter we have winter hats, scarves, hoodies, zip ups, long sleeves and jewellery in the plans too.
