Ethical Policy
Ethical conduct is very important to us, and we actively source and promote ethically produced goods where at
all possible. All of the suppliers we use conform to recognised trading practices
and labour laws in their countries of operation, and furthermore we wholeheartedly support the
aims of the
Fairtrade Foundation and their peers.
We constantly strive to identify and support brands who are pushing the boundaries of ethical and ecoconscious apparel, and who exemplify the ethos of 'Style with Conscience'.

The
FAIRTRADE mark means that ingredients in the product have been produced by small-scale farmer organisations or plantations
that meet Fairtrade social, economic and environmental standards. The standards include protection of workers’ rights and the
environment, payment of the Fairtrade Minimum Price and an additional Fairtrade Premium to invest in business or community projects.

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was developed through collaboration by leading standard setters with the aim of defining requirements that are recognised
world-wide and that ensure the organic status of textiles from harvesting of the raw materials through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing all the way
to labelling in order to provide credible assurance to the consumer.

Regenerated Cotton is the latest innovation in fabric technology and manufacture. The yarn is derived from cotton waste from the cutting room, which is normally destined for landfill.
Instead, the offcuts or ‘clips’ are collected and sorted by colour, shredded down, mixed with polyester, and then spun into yarn, ready to be knitted and woven.
The benefits of using this technology are:
• There is no need for further dying, reducing chemical waste entering the environment
• Reduces the amount of waste going to landfill
• Avoids the CO2 emissions associated with growing and processing new cotton
• Reduces the amount of land needed to grow the cotton
In comparison to Virgin Cotton, Regenerated Cotton saves (per 1 tonne):
• 8 litres of water
• 25kg chemicals
• 25Kw/h of energy
• 2 Litres of waste water in the growing process
• 05m2 of cotton growing land

Products carrying the
SALVAGE symbol are made from 100% recycled materials!
Cuttings from organic cotton textile production are collected, shredded and turned back into soft cotton fibres.
Next, fibres made from recycled plastic bottles are added to obtain the cotton/polyester blend,
and the blended fibres are spun into fine yarn to make the fabric.

Products carrying the
FAIR SHARE symbol carry a small price premium that is passed directly on to the garment workers in India towards their Living Wage.
Adding a few pence to the cost of a T-shirt will result in a significant increase in the wages of the poorest workers at the factory in India.
A small change makes a big difference!
