MEET THE MAKERS
We believe that each human deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their (ethnic) background, education, political preference, age, or gender.
The GOTS certificate helps us ensure a proper working environment for every individual at each step of the chain, so they are all treated with respect, a fair wage, and decent working hours. And obviously no forced or child labour.
We carefully select family-owned factories: people we know and have met, who share our vision on the future of fashion, and know how to take care of others. No subtlety about our transparency here, as we are very proud to show the excellent partners we work with.
