Manufacture
We manufacture our garments in two factories, one in India and one in Macedonia. We visit both factories regularly and have ensured the working hours and conditions are of a fair and high standard. We would never use a factory we wouldn't want to spend time in! There is no child or slave labour. We aim to encourage both factories to continue to improve their environmental standards as our business grows.
By manufacturing in India we have the opportunity to work with a country with amazing skills as well as being able to offer our customers competitive prices without compromising on quality. We source our Organic cotton in India too so we minimise transportation and the resulting carbon emissions at this early stage.
We were inspired to work with Macedonia by USAID which has been supporting economic growth and democratic modernization there. Again they have amazing skills especially for more tailored styles. We mainly source our wools and silks from Italy so by keeping production of these styles within Europe we reduce transportation and carbon emissions.
There is still much more we want to do so we will continue to review, improve and work towards the most sustainable production model possible.
