Products
Our Suits drop sporadically whenever we can get our hands on great material, so keep your eyes peeled!! We announce Early Board pre-sales via email. If you're not on our Board Member Newsletter list already, fill out your details on our Home page.
Ribbed Knit is the very first Restock we've ever done! We couldn't resist getting more Board Members suited up in our most comfortable suit to date. Launched Nov. 17th, 2021, it is the drop involving fabric we've been fortunate to find enough of to create more jumpsuits.
Other than that, the answer is pretty much the short answer is no! All of our Suits are limited edition prints but occasionally we’re lucky enough to scavenge re-prints of our favourite designs or similar ones.
We source the best, most unique fabrics we can find from select local markets in Hong Kong & Israel. We also collect amazing materials along our travels, most recently Bali. (In February, the tail end of the period B.C. *Before Covid*).
In our mission towards sustainability, we only source dead stock fabrics with the aim to use as many natural fibers as possible, such as 100% Cottons, Linens and Cupro. This means we only use leftover materials or ends of unused fabric rolls which might otherwise go to waste. This helps us keep our quantities low and our pieces limited edition.
We scoured high and low to work with a manufacturer that aligns with our core values and create our small batches; meaning everything is made under ethical standards, where no harmful chemicals are used & all workers are treated and paid fairly.
Most of our Suits & Masks are handmade in the Guangdong Province of China about 3 hours from where Sarina & Rachel grew up in Hong Kong. Our Capsule Collections are produced locally in Israel, where they live now. We're in the process of working towards making more of our products locally to reduce our carbon footprint where we can.
We are doing our best to make Suits that fit every beautiful body & shape. As a small business, we're still working on increasing our production range and learning more about our customer base. Right now our sizes range from XS-XL but inclusivity is key for us, so we are continuously working on improving and adding to our sizes.
Let us know if you have some feedback or comments on how our Suits fit or what else we can be doing, we would love to hear from you. DM us or email support@the-bod.com
Hand Wash or Machine Wash all Suits on cold (30°C). Hang Dry (no tumble drier).
Our fabrics are all pre-washed in our production process, to minimize the chances of shrinking - laundry lazers, we know you, no judgment. If you already own a Suit, check out our care labels - they’re cute.
Hand Wash or Machine Wash your Masks on a warm temperature (the higher the better to kill those nasty germboys). Hang Dry (no tumble drier - unless your mask fits too loose and you'd like to purposely shrink it).
We recommend washing your Masks before your first wear, to ensure they’re hygienic as can be, and between each (or several) wears.
Sustainability
Caring for our planet is just as important to us as caring for our people.
We create ethically-produced wearable fun, starting with the fabrics we use, right up to our packaging and even our hang tags. We’re doing our best wherever we can. See more below!
Our fabrics are almost all natural..like we said, we're trying! All fabrics are sourced from dead stock and made from plant-based materials whenever possible including cellulose, flax and wood-pulp (aka 100% Cotton and Linen). When we cant find natural fibers we use regenerated cellulose fibers (like Cupro and Rayon). We continue to try to source organic, natural fibers, recycled or upcycled fabrics in order to provide the best quality products without compromising our people or environment, because they shouldn't come at the cost of a piece of clothing.
We only create small quantities of each piece, keeping things unique & special. In a world of over-production and enormous waste, we don't want to contribute to the problem.
We minimize waste of any leftover fabric by creating the cute little bag your Suit comes in. A perfect little reusable pouch for travel or make-up or whatever. Our hang tags are another awesome (we toot our own horn when deserved) example of our Zero Waste initiative - don't throw away your not-so-boring hang tags...plant them!
We also create sporadic little goodies out of our leftover fabrics such as our Masks this season - check them out here.
We like to make the ordinary fun. You’re welcome! Our hang tags are made from recycled paper and wildflower seeds. Simply remove the string, plant them under a thin layer of soil, water daily and patiently wait for little sprouts! (Saving paper + sparking joy. Check, check!)
Our shipping bags are 100% compostable. They're made of cornstarch & cassava roots that will dissolve & return to Mother Earth without clogging her. They break down in a compostable environment, leaving no waste or toxins behind (cool right?)...Your shipping mailer is literally yummy food for worms & nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden, hellloooo!!
To compost them at home, it’s best to remove any labels, cut them up and place in your compost bin as “brown” materials. These will completely break down within 90-120 days in a home-compostable environment - sometimes even sooner! Take a photo and tag us @theb.o.d
Missions
Positive change is driven by daily social & environmental sweet acts.
At the core, our mission is to empower everyone to Suit themselves. Simply put, the time has come for us to do what lights us up, live vibrantly, and navigate our lives according to our own compass. To boldly and bravely follow our intuitions and passions.
We believe when you feel good, you do good. Our ultimate goal is to remind and encourage people to pay it forward and contribute some good back into the ecosystem. While we can't control the situations we are born into, we can choose how to use our fortunes or misfortunes for better use. To create opportunities for those who wouldn't have otherwise had them and to create a better society that thrives together.
Through different collections and community initiatives, we have teamed up and contributed part of our proceeds to the below organizations:
World Cancer Walk
Fuck Cancer
EJI
We're always looking for places that need more love. If there's a cause you're passionate about and want to discuss with us, email us at support@the-bod.com

So yes, there are in fact real humans who have written this page. We're Rachel & Sarina, the Chairwomen of The Board. Wassup baby?
We're sisters who were born and raised in Hong Kong and this company is our outlet & mission to carry on the legacy of our mother who fully embodied the feel good do good lifestyle. If you'd like more deets on us and the brand, skip on over to this fanciful page here.
1. Let your nipples see the world & feel the breeze in your bosom, it's scientifically proven to increase endorphins and helps to achieve your best life.
2. Step out of your comfort zones at times to expand & wtv, but also, be completely comfortable staying in your comfort zone (aka home) at times, cus it's the best place ever.
3. Mix salty & sweet flavours...please trust us. Here are some of our faves: cheese & jam, Swedish Fish & Hershey kisses, McDonalds fries in a milkshake (if you've never tried this, literally stop whatever you're doing and run to slash order in for yourself some golden M.....we just really need you to experience this pleasure - thank us later), spicy Cheetos and cream cheese.
4. Learn how to tell jokes (even just one), it's a great skill...we're still working on this.
5. Learn a party trick, it's fun for when there's a major lull in convo or to impress a potential lovah - just make sure you can actually pull it off before whipping it out in front of whoever you're trying to seduce (think Rachel Green, failing to tie knots in the cherry stem for Joshua, no thank you).
