About RYMARO
Hi! I'm Ryan Crosby, founder of RYMARO apparel. In early 2023 I began the journey that resulted in the launch of the RYMARO website in June of that year. Obviously, there are many apparel brands out there occupying a similar space, but my goal was to do things a bit differently. I've always been drawn to a minimalist aesthetic and felt that there just really wasn't an affordable brand out there making fun, yet refined, classic tees, hoodies and casual wear.
From there I began toying with designs and exploring platforms through which I could bring my ideas to an audience that (hopefully!) would appreciate them as much as I do. Once it became clear I was on the right path I made my second big decision, which was to attempt to make my business as sustainable as possible. Using a print to order model just made sense in order to minimize waste and extra inventory, as well it allows me to experiment with new designs and avoid the risk inherent to bulk production. Using only organic or recycled fabrics just makes sense, not to mention it results in some seriously soft clothing! I'll continue to look for additional ways to bring planet friendly fashion to RYMARO.
I hope that you enjoy browsing through these designs and find something you love or your loved ones will love. I'm always available for your input on what you'd like to see from us in the future. Happy Shopping!
Sustainability at RYMARO
Sustainability is important to RYMARO. We’re getting greener every step of the way,
while still providing you with the quality products you deserve.
As we work with on-demand suppliers, we only produce items for which we get an order, avoiding textile waste from overproduction. Our printing partner’s high-quality printing tech creates almost no wastewaters and uses less energy than standard industry printers.
Information about Direct to Garment (DTG) Printing
Our tees, pullovers and hoodies are all printed with the direct-to-garment (DTG) technique, which is a printing method where ink is first sprayed directly onto the garment, and then it soaks into the fabric. It’s like printing on paper, but on clothing. We use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers, which lowers our carbon footprint.
The inks we use for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. RYMARO takes sustainability seriously, that’s why we take care to properly dispose of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.
Information about embroidery
At RYMARO, we embroider our products with Oeko-Tex™ 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.
Statement about 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 RYMARO, all apparel products are packed 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.
