6. How do you know that each brand is ethical and/or sustainable?

A: Every brand you see on this website has passed 3 or more of our core values. Through our due diligence phase, we have spoken directly to every brand to gauge their commitment to each value, as well as receiving reports and other information to verify the claims made.

We've had to reject some lovely brands who have ethical values and have personally visited the factories, but we are unable fully verify their claims. 

Due to privacy and confidentiality, we are unable to share some of the audits and/or where the products were made (some brands do include this in the product description though).
