About Us
Why Darity?
Becoming a mother is an amazing experience - a transition that is physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. It’s also a marathon - Moms are athletes that are hustling, multi-tasking (cooking, feeding, playing, comforting), on-the-run.
At DARITY, we want to make the transition to becoming a mom easier, and we believe moms deserve a more holistic option. What exists today are segmented pieces - some focused on style or function, most not focused on performance. Moms are left to figure out the best way across extensive research to coordinate these pieces together.
DARITY is a community of moms and complete collection of performance-minded clothing that is comfortable and stylish, designed to help all moms feel good and get through the physically-demanding years with children. Clothing that is designed for and works for them and their specific needs during this time of so much change.
We've done the work to create a complete, coordinated collection of styles that you can feel great about:
- Our fabrics are collectively Standard 100 OEKO-TEX certified, which means they have been tested for harmful chemicals and certified as safe to wear for mom (and baby)
- Our performance (breathable, antibacterial, wicking) eco-fabrics include organic lyocell, organic cotton, and regenerated nylon from mills with the high sustainability practices to conserve water, reduce waste, recycle
- Our production partner is compliant and focused on eco and ethical sustainability practices (fair wages, safe practices, green manufacturing)
- Our packaging is reusable, recycled/recyclable, and/or compostable
- We give at least 3% of our profits to support quality paid family leave, global maternal wellness, and local postpartum care.
