Albetta

A UK brand brought to the US, Albetta is deeply committed to the principles of the Ethical Trade Initiative, ensuring each factory is free from exploitation and discrimination, and where workers enjoy conditions of freedom and security and equity. Along with noble principles, their clothes are inspired by Vietnamese handcraft skills like macrame and crochet, creating beautiful heirloom pieces.

Product Details:

• The garment sector is one of the world's most polluting industries and the mismanagement of water during cotton production has turned parts of the earth's surface into desert, BUT we also know that if we extend the life of a garment by 9 months we reduce its carbon and water footprint by 30%. It has been Albetta's policy from the early days to make garments from high quality fabrics, thread and accessories which are free from harmful chemicals that can be washed and dried multiple times. All their garments undergo wash and color fastness tests to ensure pieces that have longevity!
• The Better Cotton Initiative takes a holistic approach to sustainable cotton cultivation by training farmers to grow cotton in a more environmentally, socially and economically responsible way. BCI aims to transform cotton production worldwide by developing Better Cotton as a sustainable mainstream commodity. To achieve this mission, they bring together cotton's complex supply chain, from farmers to retailers, in an effort to increase commitment to and sourcing of sustainable cotton. Albetta started sourcing Better Cotton in 2018 and in the next 5 years we intend to move all our cotton to sustainable cotton sources such as BCI or GOTTS (Organic)
