Responsibility. Recycle. Replenish.
RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION
We work closely with our partners - manufacturers assessed by the amfori BSCI code of conduct that meet their labour principles for ethical business behaviour, fair renumeration, no discrimination, no child labour, decent working hours and occupational health & safety.
Our bags are made in Bangladesh, at a factory established by seven former Rana Plaza workers - survivors of the deadly Rana Plaza disaster, the eight-storey commercial building which collapsed in 24 April 2013. Two months after the collapse, on 24 June 2013, a new kind of factory was created, with the help of labour activists.
This BSCI compliant factory now employs 240 makers and is a worker-owned factory where makers receive Fair Trade wages and a share of profits. All workers at the factory earn renumeration equivalent to 17.5 months in 12 months.
