This trip was my first time in China but it wasn’t my first time in a textile production facility, far from it. I have been working for other fashion companies before, all of them from the world of ethical fashion. I have visited production sites in Turkey, Portugal, in the New York Fashion District and more remote places, like wool farms in Southern Patagonia.
This means I know first hand there’s no way we’re perfect – nobody is. We are on a journey. We want to do our part in improving the way fashion is made, and so we decided to walk the thin line between making a great, fashionable, quality product that works in our home market – and to also make sure we’re doing it the best way we possibly can.
