People
Karamans Tekstil is based in Istanbul and has been running since 1995. It has a team of a hundred employees and aims to produce high quality and fair clothing.
KCA have worked with their Turkish manufacturing partners since the brand was founded in 2008 and visit them on a regular basis.
This sweatshirt is GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified. All stages of production from fibre growers to processors and manufacturers are audited and must have systems in place to ensure social criteria based on the key norms of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) are met.
Planet
Organic virgin cotton protects the environment and health of farmers from the damaging intensive fertilisers and pesticides conventionally used.
Knowledge Cotton Apparel's second and third tier suppliers (fabrics and raw materials) are based in the same geographical region as products are cut and sewn. The reduces the carbon footprint of their products compared to other fashion supply chains where it is common for inputs to cross back and forth around the world.
Using plant based dyes limits the harmful effects of the effluent from the conventional chemical dyeing industry.
Suppliers
Cut and sewn: Karamans Tekstil, Izmir, Turkey (GOTS)
Organic cotton: Turkey (GOTS)
Areas For Development
GOTS living wage policy currently only requires that national legal standards are met. We’d love to see KCA collaborate with an organisation like the Fair Wear Foundation to advance the complex topic of a real living wage for garment workers.
