Manufacturing
To create inspiring clothing with a commitment to a sustainable future.
We don’t like manufacturing. Did we just put that in writing?
Ok time for some honesty…To us manufacturing is as dangerous as swearing in front of your mother-in-law.
Not only does it drain our creative batteries, it also stops us going out into the real world.
We love travelling across southern Africa, connecting with new and existing clients. In-fact being delayed in Gaborone, Botswana airport for 6 hours because the airline has forgotten to stock up on toilet roll is hilarious. But jeepers, ask us to stay calm when the fabric from the mill is 20 minutes late is heart attack material.
We have the emotional scars to prove it.
We teamed up with The Foschini Group (TFG)
One of Africa’s leading fashion lifestyle retailers. Their local manufacturing facility will be our new manufacturer of choice for a number of reasons:
- The strength of their in-house design and manufacturing capabilities.
- Their green initiatives: one-third of its energy needs being provided by solar energy.
- There was a significant win-win. We receive an international standard garment. They have a 3rd party client who will relieve manufacturing stress in the quiet winter period.
- Their bulk purchasing power of fabric.
- We only work with people and companies we like. Sure, they’re big, but they are all pretty darn awesome people.
