We LOVE Pickleball
At Dink & Drive, our love for pickleball fuels our passion for fashion. We created this platform to merge the thrill of the game with stylish expression, offering a range of apparel and accessories that celebrate both.
Community
Community is at the heart of everything we do at Dink & Drive. The vibrant camaraderie among pickleball enthusiasts inspires us daily, fostering connections that transcend the game. We cherish the shared passion, support, and energy that the pickleball community brings.
A Better Way
We wanted to provide great sports apparel to our amazing community, who has always had out back, but we wanted to do it in a way that would make a difference in the fashion world, which is why all of our products are Made to Order!
Make To Order (MTO) Works!
Water Usage
MTO typically requires less water compared to traditional mass production methods.
It bypasses large-scale production processes that involve extensive water usage in dyeing, printing, and fabric treatment, thus reducing the overall water footprint.
Carbon Emissions
MTO typically involves shorter transportation distances because products are often manufactured closer to the point of sale or shipping destination.
This can help reduce carbon emissions associated with long-distance shipping from centralized manufacturing facilities.
The on-demand production process itself can be more energy-efficient compared to traditional manufacturing methods.
Waste
Traditional manufacturing often leads to surplus inventory and unsold products, which contribute significantly to waste.
With MTO, items are produced only when an order is placed, minimizing overproduction and reducing the amount of unsold stock that might end up in landfills.
Educate
At Dink & Drive, we want to do our best to make sure our partners and community know what steps we are taking to reduce our impact.
We also look to our partners and our community for better ideas on how we can even further reduce our impact.
An open dialogue helps us all move forward sustainably.
