DESCRIPTION
A great simple pair of pants in organic cotton with a comfortable cut. The shortened waistband make these pants ideal for keeping cool. These pants have a close fit with the small amount of elastane giving a degree of stretch. The elastane does not get in contact with your skin owing to the use of cotton-encased core yarn.
German brand Living Crafts have been proudly producing high quality natural textiles under environmentally friendly and socio-economically fair conditions for over 30 years.

People
Living Crafts has a genuine commitment to social standards at it production sites. In 2016 it joined the Fair Wear Foundation who support members to take step-by-step improvements that lead to real and sustainable solutions.
These pants are made in Lithuania. Living Crafts have a long standing relationship with the manufacturing company and visit at least once a year.
Planet
Organic farming methods are gentler on the environment and also farmers who may suffer ill health when coming into contact with the intensive fertilisers and pesticides used in conventional cotton production.
Elastane gives underwear a degree of stretch and durability. Whilst the production of elastane has significant environmental impacts we accept the use of high quality elastane in products where it is necessary for the function of the product.
The short distance between the production site in Lithuania and Living Crafts warehouse in Germany reduces transportation emissions.
Areas for development
The way Living Crafts is set up allows for allows for a natural integration of social compliance considerations in sourcing as the purchasing department is also responsible for material selection and supplier management. Historically sourcing decisions at Living Crafts have been largely perception based. After a recommendation by the Fair Wear Foundation the brand have begun to develop an evidence based supplier evaluation and scoring system.
