SUSTAINABILITY
At Newde` we are committed to creating and developing long term partnerships with factories that share a common vision of sustainability, accountability and transparency.
ETHICAL MANUFACTURING & TRANSPARENCY
This means ensuring that our workers are treated with respect and dignity, can earn a fair wage, and that they are provided with opportunities to foster their skills.
We are in the business of slow fashion our orders are small and thought our, our seasonal make is once a year and with that all of our patterns are hand drafted and fabric use calculated to the T, to create little to no wasted fabric at all.
Our supply chain
The suppliers that we choose to partner with are all certified regarding working conditions and social responsibilities as well as certificates in use of eco friendly fabrication. We do not believe in demanding the cheapest price from our suppliers as it can affect the quality of our garments and put pressure on suppliers to outsource to a less accredited factory. Our relationships with our factories and their employees are important to us and we work hard to maintain them.
We believe that every person in our supply chain is an equal and a friend and should be treated in kind. All workers deserve a fair, living wage and high-quality working conditions. Our workmates in China are all highly skilled in their roles and we respect them greatly for this.
OUR COMMITMENT

From transparency in supply and design, our business ethics, design innovation, building like-minded communities that share the same goal of a more sustainable way of life and business.

This approach expands from working with our friends in China to recycle and re-use as much waste as possible from fabrics in our swimwear to reducing our plastic use tag hangers shipping bags from manufacture to our HQ to delivering online orders in biodegradable compost bag, recycled paper thank you cards.
