Certifications Glossary

How to know when your clothes are ACTUALLY Sustainable, and Ethically made.

 

One of the ways we can trust that our products are Sustainably and Ethically made is by the use of our suppliers certifications. The certifications are listed within each product description, but here we explain exactly what each one means.
