why care?
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. Each step in the production process has influence on our planet and its recourses. Enormous amounts of water, energy and chemicals are used to process raw materials. This has a major environmental and social impact.
Did you know that on average clothes are worn only 7 times before being discarded?
Reuse and repair before recycling is important and we encourage this. It can significantly extend a garment's life cycle. To extend the life cycle of our clothing, we like to work with partners that are specialized in this. We will keep you posted via our newsletter and social media.
In the Netherlands alone, millions of kilograms are collected, for example for charity. However, by far most of it ends up in landfills or incineration plants.
Textile recycling reduces waste and production of virgin textile fibres. From the start we use recycled materials as much as possible. This leads to less impact.
Clothing recycling is not that easy. Less than 1% of all collected clothing is recycled into a new piece of clothing.
We are working towards the possibilities of recycling our clothing at the end of its life cycle. At this moment it can mainly be processed into raw materials for other (textile) products. We are happy to keep you posted about the developments via our newsletter and socials.

unfair fashion
By now, everyone knows that the fashion industry is not the most safe or fair industry. Worldwide, 60 to 75 million people work in the fashion industry, of which 85% are women. For many of them, low wages, sexual harassment or forced labour are very common.
Don't ask, don't tell
We cannot produce in factories like that. We are happy to show you where we produce our products, what they are made of, and what kind of impact they have. Our suppliers share the same values. Wherever people work, there's always room for improvement. Both in terms of environmental impact, and working conditions. The key to improvement is transparency, sharing thoughts, showing commitment to jointly achieve our goal: a more social and sustainable industry. And of course, a beautiful piece of clothing!

Legal contract
An employment contract shows that you and your work are valued. Labour law and social security are important to all of us. We therefore only work with factories where this is properly arranged.
x
Reasonable hours
Fashion is cool and all, but never underestimate time with family, friends and time for relaxing.
Extremely long days are worked in many factories. Often even up to 6 or 7 days a week. We don't think that's okay! Our clothing is made in factories where people work normal hours and are entitled to days off.
x
Fair wage
Worldwide, wages in the clothing and textile industry are one of the lowest. In addition to a good working atmosphere, we think a fair wage is extremely important. Not only to provide for the necessities of life, but also the means to enjoy leisure time. In the factories where our clothing is produced, this is well organized.
x
Safe work
It is a pleasure coming home after a day of hard work. In the workplace itself, conditions must be pleasant as well. A safe and hygienic working environment, good interaction with each other. We think this is very normal, so also with our suppliers.
x
Freedom of association
We believe it is important that the employees who assemble our clothing, do have the right to join a trade union. Employees must also have the opportunity to report comments, suggestions and complaints to its management.
x
No child labour
Pretty logical, right? Unfortunately, this happens all too often. It does not occur in the factories where we produce our clothing. Of course, under any circumstances, child labour is not allowed!
x
No discrimination
Express yourself! Equal opportunities for everyone! Regardless of your race, skin colour, gender, religion, nationality, any limitations, you name it! We already have a lot in common, a little diversity can't hurt right? Our suppliers share the same idea.
x
Free will
There's no room for forced labour! Work must be done voluntarily and under good conditions. Our suppliers are like-minded. Work is always voluntary.
