Sustainability
As a company deeply rooted in garment manufacturing, we have always believed that sustainability is not just an option but a necessity. That belief drives us to make our factory as sustainable as possible. Here you'll find our certifications, social impact initiatives, environmental projects and our commitment to transparency.

Green factory Internal record
Our new factory is built on a "green" concept: only white and green, with plenty of plants and trees.
Solar energy Internal record
Solar power meets many of our power requirements.
Rainwater harvesting Internal record
Rainwater is put back into the earth.
Low consumption Internal record
Power consumption is kept to the lowest level.
Backup generators Internal record

Recycling Internal record
Maximum waste is properly recycled.
As part of our zero-waste initiative, we look for eco-friendly ways to upcycle leftovers into intricate, beautifully designed products. Our production facility is audited and certified by UPMADE, which enables us to apply the industrial upcycling method.
Recycling reduces the need for landfill space, eases pressure on virgin resources, saves energy, reduces pollution and lowers the demand for dyes and fixing agents. We are planning to have our factory certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS).

Traceability · Supports DPP readiness
With growing global emphasis on traceability, including the EU's upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP) regulations, we have developed our own cloud-based platform for supply chain transparency. It tracks every stage of production, from cotton farming to garment packaging. Each style we produce can have a dedicated QR code or web link that traces its entire journey.

We believe no child should be deprived of education because of financial constraints. That's why we support a school near our factory by sponsoring education for 70 studentsSample, building a science lab and library, and providing essential learning resources.
TEARS stands for Train, Educate And Rehabilitate Socially, and in spirit it stands for hope and development through education, early childcare, leisure and recreation. Fabric offcuts from our cutting floor are collected and given to TEARS free of cost, and students weave them into durries and carpets. We coordinate with clients and handle the transfer of goods; clients pay TEARS directly. For our clients, it means zero-waste production.
Acid attacks are among the most terrible crimes against women, leaving scars on body and mind. We support survivors through our partnership with Sheroes.
