Ethical Manufacturing

From the start, we committed to doing things differently. 

We spent months researching global partners who align with our values: ethics, sustainability, quality, comfort, durability, and originality.  We were involved at every stage, from concept through to production. Storytelling means everything to us and each of our makers has a story of ethics, sustainability, passion and craftsmanship.

Our partners span the globe,  Peru, Portugal, Türkiye, Indonesia, Poland, and beyond, all chosen for their commitment to fair practices, strong values, and genuine craft.

Many support initiatives like environmental education, up-cycling, community development, and women-led enterprise.

We share a clear standard,  to create things properly, with intention, and with pride. We even built our own Lyfer Standards to hold ourselves accountable and stay true to what we set out to do: work with talented people who care about the planet and each other.

What shapes our products:

• Ethical working conditions.
• Premium, long-lasting materials.
• Sustainable certifications (Fair Trade, B-Corp, GOTS, 1% for the Planet).
• Considered, original design.
• Deep involvement in the full process.
