Transparency & Sustainability

When starting Ophi Studios I knew transparency was super important to the brand ethos - I want to guarantee every Ophi customer that their items are ethically and mindfully made.

We’re committed to being honest about our materials, processes, and impact; encouraging more conscious shopping decisions.

Made to order accessories

All of Ophi’s accessories are handmade by me (Maddie) in my studio in Manchester, UK.

Handmaking these items means…

  • No mass production
  • Smaller, more mindful batches
  • Time and care taken with every stitch
  • Less waste from not holding stock

I mindfully source all of my trims and materials, especially from other small businesses where possible!

My custom printed fabric (the prints I design which includes the sweet treats collection) is actually made and printed from another small business based in the south of England.

The 2-3 week lead time is worth the wait for the high quality, unique accessories.

Ready to ship pyjamas

Ophi’s pyjamas are handmade by my manufacturer in Qingdao, China and I work very closely with my 2 representatives there to achieve my vision!

They work mainly with small/medium businesses, specialising in sleepwear made from sustainable fabrics.

Why Tencel™ Modal?

What is Tencel™ Modal?

It is a semi-synthetic fibre made from wood cellulose (mainly beech wood) by the company Lenzing. Lenzing is the company that owns the brand Tencel. They are based in Austria and are the market leader in wood-based sustainable fibres.

How does it feel?

The fabric is buttery soft, smooth, and has a silky touch. It is often described as more luxurious and softer than cotton.

Is it breathable?

Tencel™ Modal is extremely breathable and excellent at wicking moisture away from the skin, helping keep you cool, dry and comfortable. This is especially improtant for womens pyjamas as it can help prevent moisture build up that could lead to irritation or a yeast imbalance.

How will it last?

The fibres will maintain their softness even after repeated washing and drying. They don’t shrink or pill, and keep their shape well over time.

What about the wood they source for the fibre?

The wood pulp used is sourced from sustainably managed forests (certified by standards such as FSC/PEFC). The production process is extremely resource-efficient (less water and lower emissions) than many conventional fibres, even unbranded Modal.

Is it biodegradable?

Yes! It comes from natural sources so under the correct conditions, is biodegradable.
