Our ideology

Wearing What The World Can Afford

At Braintree we believe in wearing what the world can afford. That means not only producing clothing in an environmentally friendly way, but also ensuring that everyone involved gets a fair deal.

All Braintree garments are made from ecological fabrics like hemp, bamboo and soybean fibre.

Our Partners

Our clothing and the cloth it's made from is all produced in China, the world leader in ecological fabric development. Despite some bad press, the Chinese government is very aware of the impact of industry on its environment. All fabric factories and dye houses are regularly inspected, with heavy fines for polluters.

Our Responsibilities

The environmental aspect of our business sits side by side with the humanitarian aspect. We make sure that our production partners share our values on important issues like child labour, discrimination, working hours, discipline practices, freedom of association and health and safety.

Four times a year we visit the factories in China that produce our clothing, so we can see with our own eyes that they're living up to our standards. We're also working closely with the Fair Trade Association to develop a template for Fair Trade certification of goods produced in China. As well as making it easier for consumers to make an ethical choice, this will help encourage and support other companies that are trying to do the right thing.

We know we're not perfect but, step-by-step, we're getting there!
