About us
Forest Ink is a family-owned alternative fashion company dedicated to sustainability, ethical practices, and size-inclusivity. Our mission is to uplift our community with high-quality and unique designs, without adding to the destruction of the planet or harming the people living on it.
Created by mother-and-son duo Beth and Zach Welch, Forest Ink was founded out of their Texas home in 2009, and since then has blossomed into an internationally-recognized business with a close-knit team. Starting with mainly t-shirts and camisoles, Forest Ink has expanded into a variety of clothing and swimwear for not only the darkly inclined but many subcultures and styles we hold dear to our hearts.
Over time, we recognized that the alternative fashion space was missing something: an accessible option for sweatshop-free, size-inclusive clothing with sustainable practices in mind. With this goal in mind, we have constantly worked to establish sustainable and ethical practices that set us apart from the crowd. Here are some of our highlights, or you can click to read our Sustainabilty Page here.
