Where are the garments manufactured?
Our garments are manufactured in Turkey, China and Bangladesh. EarthPositive®, Salvage® and FairShare® ranges are produced entirely in India.
Are the garments certified?
Our different products are certified by ÖKO-Tex Standard, GOTS or OCS. All the company’s manufacturing facilities are regularly audited for social compliance by the Fair Wear Foundation. We are also approved by Peta for vegan products.
Are textiles suitable for printing and embroidery?
All our garments are reactive dyed and ready for decorating in a wide variety of screen printing techniques including discharge printing, heat transfers, sublimation printing and embroidery. The garments perform particularly well in digital direct-to-garment printing. We recommend techniques that are environmentally friendly.
Do the textiles have any labels or tags?
Our garments have a plain size label in the back neck or a size label with collection logo (Salvage, FairShare and some garments of EarthPositive). On the inside is a wash/care label which indicates washing instructions, reference number, certifications and fabric. Additionally some garments carry a hang tag with specifications on special dyes or more information on characteristics of the garment.
How do I care for garments?
The garments comply with the general performance standards in the clothing retail industry. Some shrinkage and twisting may occur after washing but will stay within the acceptable limits for dimensional stability performance. Please follow the instructions of the care label inside the textiles. We recommend that the wash temperature does not exceed 30°C in a standard or delicate washing cycle, and the garments are reshaped before drying on a line or flat. Hot washing or tumble drying are likely to affect the dimensional stability of the garments and may also cause fading of colour. For the sake of protecting the environment, we say:
- Wash at 30°C or below
- Do not tumble dry
- Line dry
- and Only iron when necessary.
