Ever wondered where your clothes actually come from? Not just which factory, but the whole journey before that garment reached the sewing floor, and of course, before it reaches your wardrobe?
Your garment doesn't start at a factory. It starts with cotton growing in a field, wool sheared from sheep who have been respected, from wood pulp or textile waste waiting for a second life. From there, it travels through multiple stages, across different countries, facilities, interacting with many different hands, before it becomes the piece you're wearing.
- Tier 4: Raw materials through farming, extraction or reclaiming textiles (cotton and wool farms, wood pulp for cellulose fibers etc)
- Tier 3: Material processing and yarn formation (spinning yarn, weaving or knitting fabric etc)
- Tier 2: Production and finishing of materials which go into final product (fabrics, trims etc)
- Tier 1: Final assembly and manufacturing of final products (cutting, sewing, finishing etc)
Tier 0: Design, marketing and distribution of products (that’s us!)
Each tier involves different facilities, different countries, and different risks. Understanding this complexity is the foundation of real transparency.
