Ride, Protect & Share. These three words capture the essence of Picture Organic Clothing. Environmentally & socially committed from day one, Picture was founded by 3 friends in 2008 with a baseline that every product developed must have a minimum of 50% organic, recycled or bio-based materials. Venturing off the beaten path by using materials and processes to reduce their impact was the starting point for their commitment to the environment. Since then, they have always sought to make responsible purchasing affordable : an eco-designed & fair snow jacket should cost the consumer the same amount as a regular jacket. Today, their commitment goes beyond products and involves every aspect of their business. Wiping out the use of fossil fuels throughout the company and bringing all of their partners, friends, and competitors on board and into the fight is now their number one priority. This involves every aspect of their company. Through the power of communications, it is also their role to move people, to inspire change, to shine the spotlight on the world’s current environmental issues, and to present viable solutions. Join Picture Organic Clothing on this adventure! Ride For The Future.
