Ten Little's Sustainability Rating:

Fair

Ten Little is rated Fair because it has started to improve its products and production process, but still has room to grow.

Ten Little uses a mix of higher emissions materials, such as conventional cotton and virgin polyester, and lower emissions materials like recycled cotton and 100% recycled polyester. It takes responsibility for the full lifecycle of its products by offering a localized take back program for donation.

However, Commons couldn't find a clear materials breakdown or any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials. Though it's a small brand with likely limited resources, we hope to see it provide information on its packaging, renewable energy strategy, or emissions measurement and reduction efforts in the future.


  • Raw Materials

    Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials this brand uses. For a small brand, we assume a mix of material types. Ten Little uses both lower emissions materials such as recycled cotton canvas and recycled polyester, as well as high emissions materials including synthetic leather, EVA, and conventional cotton. It uses materials that have certifications from OEKO-TEX. Ten Little doesn't use any animal leather in its shoes and makes its shoes with responsibly sourced rubber, including natural rubber. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials. It has more eco-friendly products in the following collections: Eco Canvas


  • Energy Use & Production

  • Packaging & Distribution

  • Marketing

  • Transparency & Reporting
