Every Barre Trash item must be three things: ethically produced; high-quality; and affordable for dancers. That's why we've scouted out factories around the world (from California, to Nicaragua, to China) that meet those criteria on a product-by-product basis. We use organic cotton when it's environmentally sound, and synthetic fabrics when it helps us avoid harmful farming practices.

We then prioritize importing by sea from our factories, as opposed to air, to reduce emissions by more than 90%. We also make use of order-bundling algorithms that combine shipments into boxes, crates, or pallets for less wasteful transit.

The starting pay at our warehouse is more than double minimum wage; the lovely team who oversee our fulfillment enjoy unlimited PTO, health insurance that includes vision and dental, and bring-your-dog to work. Oh, and they get access to tons of great food and even a gym.

Ever waited on hold, yelled at a robot, pressed "0," screamed "HUMAN!," or waited days for a reply? We have.

All emails to Barre Trash are answered within the day, typically within hours, and always by a human being.

We wish we didn't have to say this, but... our models are trained ballet dancers who we pay in money, not "exposure," or "experience."
