Local craftsmanship at 30 km
We support local artisans through the work generated by our productions to uphold Made in Italy and promote their economic stability, together with fair trade practices that respect workers’ rights.
Small-scale fashion also allows us to ensure the quality and ethics behind each of our garments.

Ethical work
The suppliers we rely on are an extension of our team, whom we visit weekly.
We share the same principles and ethical values, as evidenced by the Code of Conduct they sign. This document declares their commitment to the five key principles of the International Labor Organization (ILO).
Furthermore, they adhere to the principles of fair trade as outlined and endorsed in our Code of Ethics.
Social Sustainability
We have been certifying our supply chain since 2022 in collaboration with the auditing company Bureau Veritas, to be certain of the working conditions and compliance of our suppliers with the principles of social sustainability, in the following areas:
- Work environment (health and safety)
- Work hours
- Remuneration
- Environment
- Transparency in the supply chain
- Regulatory compliance
- Forced labor and child labor
In 2024, we audited 4 first- and second-tier suppliers, identifying only 5 non-conformities out of a total of 82 inspections carried out. Thanks to corrective action plans, 100% of these issues have already been resolved.
Responsible Purchasing
We are committed every day to adopting responsible purchasing practices towards all suppliers who are part of our circular supply chain.
Our reference is the Common Framework for Responsible Purchasing Practices, defined by a group of multi-stakeholder initiatives with the aim of reducing negative impacts on workers in production chains and ensuring transparency of the supply chain.
In this model, responsible purchasing practices are grouped into five principles:
- Integration and reporting;
- Equal partnership;
- Production planning;
- Fair payment terms;
- Sustainable costs.
