We Do Not Ship Worldwide!
Worldwide shipping significantly impacts the environment, contributing to green-house gas emissions, air pollution, ocean contamination, and sound pollution as well as loss of biodiversity, pollution from ship discharge water, and spread of invasive species. Although efforts are underway to reduce these impacts there is still a long way to go. At Dough Anarchists we recognise that online shopping has become the norm but we also believe that there is no need for someone to order a T-shirt, for example, that has to travel a disproportionate amount of miles to reach them! It's similar to the idea of trying to shop as locally as possible when it comes to the larger market. We recognise that sales will be significantly lower but we are prepared to accept this in favour of a healthy, thriving planet. Although we recognise that this might not be possible for all markets we firmly believe that when it comes to our own apparel, merchandise and gifts it is possible.
Over Production
Around 85% of all textiles produced by the fashion industry end up in landfills, making it a major contributor to environmental damage. What’s more, one in every five items produced by the fashion industry reaches landfill without even being worn!
Dough Anarchists work with on-demand suppliers so that we only produce items we get an order for, avoiding textile waste from overproduction. Our printing partner’s high-quality printing tech creates almost no waste-waters and uses less energy than standard industry printers. Each product you see in our catalogue is made on-demand. Help put an end to mass-produced clothing by letting us create your quality one-of-a-kind piece only when you place an order.
Information About Direct-To-Garment Printing
Our clothing designs are fulfilled using various methods. Many of our products are printed with the direct-to-garment (DTG) technique, which is a printing method where ink is sprayed directly onto the garment. For products with high cotton fabric content, like t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, etc We use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers. This lowers our carbon footprint considerably.
The inks we use for printing are Oeko-TexTM certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals.
We also take care to properly dispose of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.
Information about embroidery
We embroider our products with Oeko-TexTM certified threads, meaning they’re safe for both adult and children's clothing. Compared to printing, embroidery is generally more durable and produces less environmental waste.
Eco-friendly product materials
Currently, at Dough Anarchists our Eco-Friendly Product Collection consists of items made of at least 70% organic or recycled materials, or a mix of these materials.
Production Times
Each product you see in our catalog is made-on-demand, which means once you place the order, we start working to get it to you. It takes time for us to create and send out the product, but making each order on-demand allows us to avoid overproduction. This way we get to take care of you and the planet we all share.

Product Packaging*
At Dough Anarchists all clothing products are packaged in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic mailers. The amount of PCR in the packaging will differ depending on where your order gets printed, but it’s at least 50% for the outside (white or grey) poly mailer bags and at least 30% for the inside (clear) bags used in multi-item shipments. PCR packaging is made from everyday items, like used plastic bags and bottles. This material protects your order just as well as regular plastic bags, however, choosing PCR over first-use plastics reduces the environmental impact plastic has on our planet.
