Sustainability & ethics
Made responsibly, told honestly
We believe how a garment is made matters as much as the garment itself. We’re a young factory building responsibly from the ground up — and we’d rather tell you plainly what’s true today than claim badges we haven’t earned.

Factory facts 2026
Numbers, not adjectives
Owner-stated, checkable on a visit or a video call. Updated when the facts change.
- Electricity
- Monthly electricity bills run NPR 50,000–90,000 — 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; the only water on site is for people. 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 as everyone else.
People
