We are a Living Wage certified employer who maintains that all the way through our supply-chain.
We are a woman-owned and led organization that provides equal pay and above industry-standard pay for all our roles.
We are a part of the Fashion Takes Action and the Fashion Revolution communities that advocate for safe working conditions and fair labor practices in the apparel industry. Our sewing studios in both Edmonton, Alberta, and Shanghai, China follow the highest safety and equitable labor standards.
We believe in circularity with our products. All of our belts are made from recycled materials. In an effort to reduce studio waste, we also turn our off-cuts into other products such as wallet and key fobs.
Because we know just how many pairs of hands it takes to bring a product to life, and have learned that with every step of our belts’ production, we have a chance to insist on better working conditions, more manageable hours, and more upward mobility for the people behind your belts. Sewing is a job disproportionately done by women who are also POCs and we ensure that everyone working with us is paid a living wage as opposed to standard pay.
We are very serious about accessibility. We have made sure that our Edmonton, Alberta HQ is in a location near a bus route and we offer to pay for 50% of a bus pass for all employees. We also are in the process of adding a chairlift to our second-floor studio to make it accessible to all who would like to visit our space.
