In today's globalised fashion industry, the choice of where to manufacture garments is a critical decision for brands committed to ethical and sustainable practices. At Harper Lavoir, we take pride in our decision to ethically manufacture our garments in England. All of our Pattern Cutters, Garment Technologists and Machinists were strictly chosen based on their alignment with our vision and values below.
Commitment to Ethical Production:
At Harper Lavoir, ethical production is at the heart of everything we do. By manufacturing our garments in England, we ensure that our workers are treated fairly and ethically. The UK has stringent labor laws and regulations that protect workers' rights, including fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right to collective bargaining. By producing our garments locally, we can uphold these standards and provide our workers with a safe and supportive working environment.
Transparency and Traceability:
Manufacturing our garments in England allows us to maintain transparency and traceability throughout the production process. We have direct oversight of our supply chain, from sourcing raw materials to manufacturing the final product. This transparency ensures that we can monitor and verify the ethical and environmental practices of our suppliers, providing our customers with peace of mind about the origins of their clothing.
Reduced Environmental Impact:
Producing garments locally in England helps minimise our environmental impact. By manufacturing closer to our customer base, we reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and shipping. Additionally, manufacturing in a country with strict environmental regulations ensures that our production processes adhere to high environmental standards, further reducing our ecological footprint.
Support for Local Economy and Artisans:
By choosing to manufacture our garments in England, we support the local economy and artisans. We collaborate with skilled craftsmen and women who have a deep understanding of their craft and take pride in their work. By investing in local talent and craftsmanship, we contribute to the preservation of traditional skills and support the growth of the UK's fashion industry.
Quality and Attention to Detail:
Manufacturing our garments in England allows us to maintain a high level of quality and attention to detail. Our skilled artisans pay meticulous attention to every stitch and seam, ensuring that each garment meets our exacting standards. By producing locally, we have greater control over the production process, allowing us to deliver superior quality garments to our customers.
Ethically manufacturing our garments in England is a conscious decision that aligns with our values of ethical production, transparency, environmental responsibility, and support for local artisans. By choosing to produce locally, we can uphold high standards of ethics and quality while minimising our environmental impact and supporting the local economy. At Harper Lavoir, we are proud to support ethical and sustainable manufacturing practices, and we invite you to join us on this journey towards a more responsible fashion industry.
