PRICING
Transparency to us also means to show what you pay for. As we do not sell by middlemen, we save traditional retailer's margins and offer an affordable and sustainable product.
An example:
PRODUCTION
Our production takes place in Europe, Poland. The town Lodz has been affected by global textile industry outsourcing but is still known today for its textile industry. We work with a small family-owned production site, which guarantees social standards, good working conditions and pays above Polish minimum wage. The company is operated in 2nd generation and builds on 28 years of experience. We visit the production twice a year. Fair fashion only.
