At Vermilli, sustainability isn’t just a trend — it’s a promise. Rooted in the natural beauty of Hawaiʻi, we’re committed to creating islandwear that’s not only vibrant and comfortable, but also kind to the planet. From thoughtfully sourced fabrics to responsible production, every step in our process is guided by intention.

Eco-Friendly, Luxuriously Soft Fabrics
Our signature fabric is made from Lenzing™ Modal, a sustanable fiber derived from renewable beechwood. Produced in a closed-loop process that recycles water and solvents, Modal has a significantly lower environmental impact than conventional materials. It’s soft, breathable, durable — and biodegradable.
This fabric lets us create pieces that feel amazing on your skin while being gentle on the Earth.
Thoughtful Production: Hawaiʻi & Beyond
We produce our clothing in small batches through a split model: part of our line is made locally in Honolulu, and part is crafted by our trusted partners in Indonesia, where responsible manufacturing is a top priority.
In Indonesia, our printing and dyeing processes are conducted in facilities that prioritize eco-conscious methods, including:
-
Low-impact, non-toxic dyes
-
Digital printing to reduce water waste
-
Ethical working conditions and fair wages
This hybrid approach allows us to maintain both high quality and high standards — supporting local artisans in Hawaiʻi and sustainability-focused experts abroad.

Less Waste, More Intention
Every Vermilli garment is designed with longevity in mind. From the flattering drape to the carefully selected colors and prints, each piece is made to be worn again and again — from beach days to dinner nights.
We cut our fabrics strategically to minimize waste and repurpose leftover scraps for accessories, samples, and creative projects.
Conscious Packaging & Daily Practices
Sustainability isn’t just in the clothing — it’s in our everyday operations. We ship orders in recycled and compostable mailers, reduce plastic use wherever possible, and are continually seeking innovative ways to lessen our environmental footprint.
Our Commitment
As a brand born in Hawaiʻi, we have a deep connection to our land and ocean. Sustainability is more than a business choice — it’s part of our kuleana (responsibility). When you wear Vermilli, you’re choosing fashion that celebrates island life while protecting it for future generations.
