The recycled polyamide is a material called Econyl (R) which is made from used fishing nets and other regenerated material, RubyMoon is a partner of healthyseas.org to collect drifting or 'ghost' nets. The fabrics use waste reducing printing and dying techniques and are certified Oekotex and vegan meaning no harmful chemicals are used.

The Tropical Verve print was donated by the decorative artist, Sarah Arnett. 100% of the net profit made by RubyMoon is given to women across 13 different countries as a micro-loan to launch their business generating an income for them and their family to find a path out of poverty. All RubyMoon garments are named in tribute to those women. Solange was named after one of the women entrepreneurs that RubyMoon has invested in, from Benin in West Africa.
