Our Ethical Approach

At COA we think transparency is a necessity & honesty is cool. So, you won't be finding us hiding any dirty secrets. 🕵🏼‍♂️⁣

While a £4 T-shirt sounds like a right ol' barg - someone, somewhere, has got to be paying the price for that, right? Whether that's exposure to cancer-causing chemicals, unsafe working conditions, or crazy-low wages - we don't think anyone should have to suffer for the sake of cheap fashion.⁣

That's why we are committed to making earth-conscious streetwear that looks good on everybody, at the cost of nobody. 💪🏼⁣

We’re proud to say that our entire clothing line is made in Britain - the fabric is woven in Leicester, UK - and our garments are manufactured by 5 lovely ladies in a factory just down the road. They are then sent to another local business in Leicester to be garment dyed. We have taken personal responsibility to assess all of the factories that we use, and have deemed their working conditions as excellent. Plenty of tea and a good selection of bickies. Perfect. 🍪☕️

As it stands, there are very few ‘unknowns’ in our supply chain - and in the interest of total peace of mind - we plan to visit the organic cotton farm in India that supplies our fabric mill in the very near future.
