Breaking Down Topiku’s 2024 Threads of Impact
How Every Small Choice Adds Up to Big Change
At Topiku, every thread tells a story. In 2024, our Threads of Impact report isn't just numbers and charts, it’s proof that conscious craftsmanship and mindful business practices can create real, lasting change. Let’s walk through the highlights of the report, line by line, to show how your everyday choices like the products you buy or the shipping option you select contribute to something much bigger.
13,872.35 Hours of Craftsmanship
This year, our artisans dedicated over 13,800 hours to carefully handcrafting your favorite hats, bags, and more. That’s not mass production, it’s passion, precision, and people-first values in every stitch.
Each item you purchase supports meaningful employment and creative empowerment for our artisan community. These are jobs that prioritize dignity, heritage, and sustainable practices over speed and shortcuts
10,352.5 kg CO₂ Emitted
We believe in transparency, yes, our operations produced about 10,352 kg of CO₂ this year. This number comes from factors like sourcing materials, production, and shipping.
But here’s where it gets interesting: you have more power than you think. Choosing slower shipping, bundling your orders, or buying fewer, better-quality products all reduce that footprint. It’s not about perfection, it’s about awareness and progress.
103,525 kg CO₂ Offset
Now for the exciting part: together, we offset 103,525 kg of CO₂ in 2024. That’s 10 times more than what we emitted! This was made possible through carbon offset programs that support reforestation, clean energy, and community resilience projects around the world.
In simpler terms, it’s like removing over 22 gasoline-powered cars off the road for an entire year. That’s the power of collective impact and it’s all thanks to you.
From the outside, buying a hat or picking “standard shipping” instead of express might seem trivial. But when thousands of people make small, conscious choices, the ripple effect is huge. Here's how your actions helped:
Buying from small-batch collections supported slow fashion and reduced overproduction.
Choosing eco-conscious shipping helped lower transport emissions.
Spreading the word encouraged others to think sustainably.
Topiku’s mission is rooted in creating sustainable fashion without compromise. These 2024 numbers reflect a system where ethics and aesthetics go hand-in-hand—and we’re only getting started. Our community is living proof that doing good doesn’t require grand gestures. It just takes intention.
As we look ahead to 2025, we’re continuing to challenge ourselves: Can we empower more artisans? Offset even more carbon? Innovate with more upcycled materials?
The answer, with your help, is a resounding yes.
