Manufacturing
Honest work, fair prices
Honest work
We make everything by hand, slowly, purposefully and honestly. We do not outsource any of our production, everything is done in-house. This way we can guarantee the best working conditions for everyone involved. Ethical manufacturing is at the core of Sustainable Fashion.
In view of the above, we are completely transparent and have an always-open-house policy. Our workshop in central Athens is always accessible to customers, visitors, guides and schools. We’re happy to walk you through the process any day.
We aspire to a fashion industry that:
“…provides dignified work, from conception to creation to catwalk. It does not enslave, endanger, exploit, overwork, harass, abuse or discriminate against anyone. Fashion liberates worker and wearer and empowers everyone to stand up for their rights.” *
The reality today is far from it. Modern enslavement, horrible working conditions, exploitation is the norm. We live in an affluent world that destroys so many lives for the sake of its comforts.
Fair prices
A lot of people ask the question “why so expensive?” And we always think, it’s the other way round! How can most products be so cheap?
How can a fashion item that needs its fabrics to be spun, weaved, dyed, cut and sewn, that someone made over several hours and then boxed, and shipped, a product that travelled thousands of miles to be sold at a big shopping mall, how can such a product be priced at €4.99?
If we’re not paying a fair price for a service or product, someone else is. Far away and out of sight.
Our pricing is honest and transparent. We have not increased our prices in years, and there’s no secret behind it. As we’re getting better at what we do, as our experience and efficiency grows, we have covered the inevitable inflation by reducing our production time and raw materials costs.
When we’ll need to increase the price of some of our products, we’ll come forward and explain why. And we might even reduce our prices.
Fair is fair.
