ABOUT ENDLESS JOY
Endless Joy is an Art Project from Stevie & Alexandra Anderson. Born on the wind and made with love, original artworks are exhibited on carefully selected eco-friendly fabrics.
Each artwork is instilled with imagery found in the hallucinogen of world culture and comparative mythology. Imbued with cryptic symbology, myth and mystery and paying deep respect to the history of human symbolism and the veneration of nature.
All garments are made in Bali, in strictly limited editions of 100 or less. We support a network of craftspeople, artisans, textile experts, and environmental stewards. For every garment sold 3 trees are planted.
OUR ETHOS
The fundamental principle of Endless Joy is to create less. Less is more. Use less. Buy less. We directly oppose all forms of fast fashion and throwaway culture. We are for Quality, not quantity.
To combat gross over consumption we produce a limited edition of under 100 pieces for each garment. We create consciously and use the finest quality eco-friendly fabrics and dyes.
Time and love is invested into each piece, our aim is to create meaningful works of art and garments that people can treasure for a lifetime.
At the core of Endless Joy is art. The visuals we share are often stories, they speak of nature, spirit, humanity and beyond. It is our hope to engage people through art, to stir a curiosity and spark a want to live with a deeper connection to our fellow human and our planet and to be inspired by the awe and mystery of life.

ZERO WASTE
Waste is antithetical to our ethos and goals as artists and human beings—being on this ‘one and only’ planet.
Waste hurts the planet and hurts our souls. We are always looking for ways to reduce waste and reuse materials.
It starts at the cutting stage. We work very closely with our pattern makers to minimise fabric consumption. The small but inevitable amount of textile waste is then recycled and reused.
Garments are packed in dust-bags made from fabric offcuts which customers can keep their garments in long-term or reuse in their daily lives.
PACKAGING & PLASTIC
We have removed all plastic from our supply chain which is now plastic free.
Customer orders are shipped in biodegradable paper mailing bags.
Garments are packed in dust bags made form Fabric waste.
Wholesale orders are shipped in cassava root packaging which is fully biodegradable, compostable and can be dissolved in boiling water.
TREE PLANTING
For every Endless Joy item sold... 3 trees are planted.
Thanks to the support of our customers and our partnership with The Eden Reforestation Project, we are able to do our part to help reduce extreme poverty, employ local villagers and plant millions of trees every year. The Eden Project has a holistic approach to reforestation and ecological restoration.
Since they began over 300 million trees have been planted around the world in Ethiopia, Madagascar, Nepal, Haiti, Mozambique, Kenya, and Indonesia.
