We choose to work with suppliers that prioritize the use of responsible and ethically sourced raw materials, and continuously seek new perspectives to learn about improved techniques and materials. We value our close relationships with our suppliers and visit their workshops when possible in order to understand their production and finishing practices. This helps us make healthier choices, with consideration to the end user as well as the working conditions during production.
