Social Responsibility
We all have the right to a healthy and safe working environment, a decent wage, a legally binding contract.
We all have the right to be free from discrimination and harassment, to join or not a union, to freely choose our work. We all have the right to fair and reasonable work hours. And our children have the right to go to school.
We only choose suppliers who are members of the Fair Wear Foundation, a nonprofit organization with the goal of seeing a world where the apparel industry helps workers have safe, decent, and properly paid jobs.
Our products are made by STANLEY/STELLA and Continental Clothing Co, both members of Fair Wear.

- CNV Dienstenbond (Christian trade union – service industry)

Sustainable production
We recognize that the clothing production is one of the most damaging industries for our planet, so we find fair to choose suppliers who care about this issue and implement all measures that minimize negative environmental impacts while preserving energy and natural resources.
Sustainable production and the careful choice of raw materials grown and produced without harming people, animals and the environment are the basis for real change.
Organic cotton, unlike conventional cotton, is grown without the use of insecticides, fertilizers or chemical pesticides.
This prevents toxic or hazardous substances from being absorbed into the soil, rivers or adjacent lakes, ensuring a healthy environment for farmers and their families.
Transparency
We know that we cannot be perfectly sustainable, but we try to make our small contribution by trying to improve day by day.

Our suppliers are certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard, the Organic Content Standardand the Global Recycled Standard.

Carbon Footprint Reduction
Some of our EarthPositive® products (a brand of Continental Clothing Co.) carry the registered trademark “Climate Neutral“, a certification that attests to a reduction of approximately 90% in carbon footprint.
This is thanks to a combination of innovative product design, low-impact organic farming, production efficiency, and replacing standard grid electricity with renewable wind power.
