Bravo Daywearlab for being transparent about the location of fabrics for the whole supply chain and choosing standards and certification that are trustworthy. A Sustainable Closet would like to suggest adding the exact name and location for fabrics in USA and their social criteria’s to be available as well.
Some of you might wonder if it’s good with so long transportations and why the wool doesn’t come directly from USA and is yarn there? The problem is that continents and countries has specialised in different companies of creating textiles materials and in many cases the industry is lacking. In Sweden, there’s plenty of wool but no good industry to take care of it.
We’re looking forward to the transition towards more locally based production, from seed to clothing. In meanwhile, Daywearlab is a good alternative.
