People
NWHR sweaters are made in Galicia, the brand's home region. Factories here played a key role in the fashion of the 80’s and 90’s producing for the great Spanish fashion houses. In the 00’s with much production relocating to Asia many of the producers in the region had to shut down. Guided by the unbeatable quality and professionalism of these workshops, and by the desire to produce as close to home as possible, NWHR sweaters are made by the Kokomo Tricots factory in Ordes, Galicia.
The proximity of the factory has allowed NWHR to visit the factory many times to ensure that everything is produced in good conditions.
NWHR's 2nd, 3rd tier suppliers (yarn and cotton) are GOTS certified. To be certified by GOTS suppliers must meet high social standards.
NWHR is a team of 5, four women and one man. Employees have flexibility to work from home or the office as suits their routine and enjoy 30 days of vacation compared to the 22 days allowed by Spanish law. NWHR is committed to being an inclusive business and actively support the LGTBI community in their social networks.
Planet
NWHR only works with heavy fabrics over 210gsm, using high quality organic yarns that are not dyed with harmful chemicals. This means their clothing is crafted to last.
Certified organic cotton protects 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.
NWHR only uses vegan dyes. The washing and dyeing takes place at GBTX where a solar plant in the factory heats the water and this accounts for 35% of the total energy use.
Suppliers
Knitted: Kokomo Tricot, Spain
Yarn: Trifitrofa, Portugal (GOTS)
Organic cotton: Turkey (GOTS)
Areas for development
NWHR cite 'self-criticism and the desire to improve' as fundamental values of the business. They would like to explore the use of additional lower impact fabrics such as hemp and Pyratex. In addition they would like to see the factories they work with increase the % of renewable energy they use and change all their lights to LEDs.
