Sustainability & ethics
Made responsibly, told honestly
We would rather give you checkable facts than green adjectives. Here is how our garments are made, who makes them, and what we do and don’t yet hold.
How a garment is made matters as much as the garment. We are a young factory building responsibly — and we would rather tell you plainly what is true today than claim badges we have not earned.
- Electricity
- NPR 50,000–90,000 a month in power — roughly 4,000–8,000 kWh, or about 0.15–0.3 kWh per garment at full production — from Nepal’s predominantly hydro-electric grid.

- Wages
- Every member of the team is paid above Nepal’s statutory minimum wage, on time, every cycle.
- Cutting waste
- Cutting-room offcuts are collected every day and go to a local textile recycler.
- Water
- No process water — we cut and sew. Dyeing happens upstream at fabric mills, where OEKO-TEX-certified fabric is available on request.
- People
- 80–90% women month to month (we publish 80% as the floor), all local and permanent — including two deaf operators running the same machines to the same standard.
We don’t yet hold third-party social certifications such as amfori BSCI or Sedex/SMETA — we say so plainly, and they are on our roadmap. Your audit is welcome any time.

What we don’t claim
We don’t yet hold BSCI, SMETA or GOTS, and we won’t show a badge we haven’t earned. If certification is a requirement for your programme, tell us and we’ll say honestly whether we can meet your timeline — or see our full compliance status.
