In Apúlia, Portugal we found a partner that not only has experience and expertise, we found one that carries a huge level of commitment towards environmental and social responsibility. They have the SA8000 and bluesign® certifications - which are some of the highest environmental and social benchmarks a manufacturer can achieve.

Located in Barcelos, Portugal - an area known for having the most advanced textiles factories in Europe - our factory partner is new on the scene - but as they say - you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. These guys specialise in seamless technology and waste reduction, and they operate with a constant focus on environmental and social responsibility.

Our supplier in Bologna, Italy has been in business for 129 years making fine, natural yarns. They also make recycled cashmere from old, worn out cashmere garments by taking shredded pieces of fabric and re-spinning the fabric into new yarn. This process reduces CO2 emissions by 95% in comparison to virgin cashmere yarn.
