Upė: Black Tank Top

This knit is made in small batches by kick-ass knitters at our partner factory. All knitters here receive living wages, paid maternity leave and also work in a safe environment. The best part? You'll get a card with your order telling you exactly who knitted your garment and a little about them.

Material

We use only Fair Trade Cotton, with no microplastics and no harmful or irritant chemicals used. All of our knits are also OEKO-TEX® certified, which means they're safe from an ecological point of view and don't release any harmful substances.

Production

For this knit we partnered up with a family-run knitwear factory in Šiauliai, a small town in Northern Lithuania. The owner of the factory is Mrs. Zina who founded the company over 30 years ago. Growing up she always dreamt of becoming an orchestra conductor, but running a factory as beautifully as she does might not be that far off. Today Mrs. Zina employs over 20 women from the local community who all refer to her as a mother figure. All her employees earn a living wage and are entitled to 4 weeks of annual paid leave, 24 months of paid maternity leave and paid sick leave. Each knit comes signed by a woman who made it.
