Our Supply Chain
We prioritise transparency and traceability across all levels of our supply chain. Through auditing, we continuously monitor, improve and remediate processes, ensuring the safety, health and sustainability of practices for both people and planet.
With the expectations outlined in our Code of Conduct, we aim to cascade our responsible sourcing standards (directed by BSCI) throughout our supply chain. These conditions help ensure we know exactly where our products are being made and that all locations comply with both quality requirements and ethical values.
- Tier 1
Garment Suppliers
We have 100% traceability across all our garment suppliers
Our supply chain is made up of 32 factories, with 40% of production taking place in China, 55% in Bangladesh and 5% in Vietnam. We visit and audit all our factories to ensure compliance with our Code of Conduct and BSCI standards.

- Tier 2
Knitting & dye houses
We have 100% traceability across all our fabric sources
Sixty percent of our fabric comes through vertical suppliers who knit and dye their own fabrics. The remaining 40% is through a number of specialist fabric sources that our direct suppliers use, all traceable and visible to use through varying means.
- Tier 3
Yarn spinners
We have 100% traceability across this group of suppliers
Though we don't have the direct relationships with the spinners, we still has visibility over them. Many of our long term suppliers have been using the same few spinners during that time. These factilities have a good understanding of quality yarn we are after due to many years of consistent work.
- Tier 4
Raw cotton
Farms are the hardest to trace back to origin with 100% certainty. We currently allow suppliers to source cotton globally, with the exception of a few banned regions.
Some of our suppliers source specifically Australian Cotton for our production but the remainder is sourced globally through our partnership with Better Cotton Initiative, Organic cotton or with disclosed cotton origin certifications. Our Better Cotton is currently sourced via a system of mass balance, which means Better Cotton is not physically traceable to end products.
Our raw cotton originates from China, Australia, India, Brazil, Turkey, USA, and African nations.
