What we’ll measure, what could go wrong, and how we’ll report it

We haven’t made our first production run yet, so there are no totals to report. Here is exactly what we’ll measure from the first piece, how, the risks we already know about — and targets you can hold us to.

Risks we already know about

Three things that could go wrong — and what we’ll do

  1. Some materials travel far

    European linen, Italian recycled wool and Peruvian alpaca all come a long way to Bandung — the linen alone about 20,000 km.

    What we’ll do: sea and road only, never air — and move to materials made closer to home as suppliers qualify.

  2. Synthetics still shed microfibres

    Our recycled-polyester fleece and ECONYL® shell will release fibres in the wash, like all synthetics.

    What we’ll do: a wash bag with every fleece, and tighter knits tested before launch.

  3. Take-back only works if pieces come back

    Most clothes are never returned to the brand that made them. It’s a habit we have to build.

    What we’ll do: free labels, drop-off at the studio and every stockist, credit worth having — and we’ll publish the return rate, however low.

Partner workshops

Everyone who’ll make our clothes, by name

We’ll publish every tier-1 and tier-2 partner — where pieces are sewn and fabrics are made — before our first order. Here’s who we need, where, and what each one has to meet.

Fair wages & working conditions

Our commitments to the people who make our clothes

For scale: Bandung’s legal minimum wage for 2026 is Rp 4.737.678 a month.1 The latest independent living-wage benchmark for urban West Java — Rp 4.348.755 a month in 2025 — was calculated for Subang and Garut, where living costs are lower.2 So before our first order we’ll adopt or commission a benchmark for Bandung itself, and price every order so partner workshops can pay at least the higher of the two.

  • A living wage for everyone at our tier-1 workshops, from the first order

    Costed into every price

    Measured against an independent living-wage benchmark for Bandung, not just the legal minimum.

  • Independent, unannounced audits every year

    From the first order

    Run by an independent audit firm; summaries published in our annual report.

  • A grievance line workers can trust

    From the first order

    Run by an independent organisation, anonymous, and in Bahasa Indonesia and Sundanese.

  • Freedom to organise and bargain collectively

    In every contract

    Written into our supplier agreements and checked at every audit.

  • Voluntary, capped overtime

    Checked at every audit

    In line with International Labour Organization standards on working hours — and paid at a premium.

  • No forced or child labour, traced to the farm

    Cotton & wool first

    Farm-level traceability for cotton and wool from the start; we’ll extend it to every fibre.

Method & assurance

How we’ll measure

Numbers only mean something if you can check how they were made.

Company footprint
Scopes 1, 2 and 3 under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, including materials, making, transport and our own studio.
Piece footprints
Life-cycle assessments to ISO 14040/44 by an independent LCA consultancy, compared with a conventional equivalent for each piece.
Impact scores
Until a piece has its LCA, its A–E score is preliminary: our reading of published material data on carbon, water, chemistry and end of life.
Assurance
Limited assurance on the full annual report by an independent assurance provider.
Offsets
Reported separately, with project names and registry IDs — never subtracted from the totals above.

Targets

What we’re working towards

Targets
  1. 2027

    A published footprint for every piece in the collection, at launch.

  2. 2027

    Living wages at every tier-1 workshop, from the first order — no exceptions.

  3. 2028

    A fibre-to-fibre recycling route for every material we use.

  4. 2030

    Half the carbon per piece, against our 2027 launch baseline.
