About Love Haight Organic Threads

Love Haight is a non-traditional, environmentally safe clothing company based in Melbourne, Florida that has taken organic and sustainable tees one step further than the rest. Its printing method is much safer for the environment compared with traditional screen-printing because it does not rely on plastisol ink, which contains PVC and deadly phthalates, and leaves no environmentally hazardous residues.
