Our mission as a company is to supply top quality products from companies actively seeking to promote ethical practises in textile manufacturing and to support those who are moving towards
100% organic production of cotton garments.
View examples on our price list pages.
For our organic and standard ranges we work with Continental Clothing. One of the first companies in the UK to be accredited by the Soil Association as suppliers of organic garments to the printwear industry and recently declared a carbon neutral company by the Carbon Trust.
Based in London, with factories in Turkey and India, their garments carry the Oeko Tex standard,(the most internationally recognised indication of product safety in the textile industry), they were also the first U.K. company to be accredited by the European Fair Wear Foundation.
Early in 2008 they launched the Earth Positive low carbon range, produced with 100% certified organic cotton, traditionally farmed in India and manufactured using energy from wind and solar power.
Why Organic? read more....
We are keen to support any initiative that puts the health and wellbeing of both the natural world and manufacturing/growing communities firmly at the top of the agenda. We will continue to source and offer garments that support these ideals.
Whilst we are actively promoting our organic range, we appreciate that the garment industry is in a state of transition and at the moment, organic products cost more. With this in mind, we have decided to source from Canadian manufacturer Gildan for our basic cotton range.
Gildan is one of the largest suppliers of ‘blank’ promotional garments in the world and we offer their 100% cotton, ultra and heavyweight ranges. Of all the global suppliers, in the last few years, Gildan have demonstrated the most thorough and transparent ethical and environmental policies.
They were also the first manufacturer catering to the wholesale screen print market to obtain the Oeko-tex Standard 100 certification, as well as implementing policies to ensure reduced energy and water consumption and minimisation of effluent discharge.
