The Costs to Produce Our Sustainable Clothes

At Seapath, we believe in being transparent. That’s why we want to show you how much it really costs to make our clothes. Since we produce everything in our own sewing factory, we can control each step and use sustainable practices.

Let’s take our Ribeira sweatshirt as an example. The exact prices can change depending on the item, but the way we calculate them is always the same.

Cost Breakdown for the Ribeira Sweatshirt

• Fabric: €16.32
• Sewing: €3.25
• Prewash: €0.30
• Labels and tags: €0.97
• Box: €1.00

Total cost for materials and handwork: €21.84

Shipping Costs

Shipping is also a big expense. Here are the prices for the European Union:

• Under 299g: €7.90
• 300g to 499g: €9.90
• Over 500g: €13.50

Shipping is expensive because Portugal is far from many places in Europe.

Other Costs

We also have marketing expenses. But we save money by storing our clothes ourselves and preparing all orders in-house.

That’s how much it costs to make our clothes. We hope this helps you understand what’s behind the price of sustainable fashion.
