The focus is on cool, clever design, that works on
more than one level. Bronz is recognised as a quality streetwear label using
100% cotton that's completely designed and made in New Zealand. It's very Eco
friendly and worn with pride.

Our priority is on design and manufacture and to get Bronz into a store near
you, but for those who aren't near a stockist we also sell here online. Both
men's and women's cuts are available with a fabric weight of 180gsm and sizes
S,M,L and XL in both.
The Fabric
- - -
1) GE free: cotton plants are cross pollinated but no lab engineering
is allowed. 2) Processed to a high environmental standard: a/we use peroxide
bleaches as opposed to chlorine which is harmful to the environment. b/all
water used in processing is treated before being released into waterways.
c/in a general covering statement- 'no toxic substances are used in the final
processing of this fabric'. 3) More bio-degradable than synthetic fibre fabrics.
4) From a natural source ie a cotton plant as opposed to synthetics which are
mainly produced from oil which is a resource that is becoming depleted.
Production
- - -
No cotton is grown in New Zealand, so yarns
are imported and then processed into fabric. It is at this processing stage
that the most harm could be done to the environment. The fact that this whole
processing stage is done locally, here in New Zealand, means we have control
over this potentially harmful stage.
Global Pollution
- - -
Some other countries who are producing much more fabric than New Zealand ever
could, do not show the same concern about our environment. So by marketing
the 'green cotton' concept successfully, you are protecting your city, your
country and the world. Spread the word.
