We work closely with brands, organizations and manufacturers to create responsible fashion products.

Textile manufacturing has a big social and environmental impact. Responsible design and production need to be incorporated as an all-embracing way of making a product. Sustainability is not a plus – it’s a must.

  We work with you on defining your own strategy based on your impact vision, business priorities and resources.

  We guide you through the process of integrating responsible practices and materials from the get-go, starting with the initial designs. We work hand in hand with you to select fabrics that offer the most sustainable solutions.
