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.
Love Haight also works to bring exposure to the artists who create their
designs and the special causes that each artist selects. To learn more
