We offer basics that are better for our planet and the people living on it. By wearing sustainable products, you are making another step towards a more sustainable world. This is how you can make a small positive impact!
Honest Basics are designed to offer you maximum sustainability, for friendly prices. Below a short overview of what makes each of our products sustainable:
🌱 Our basics are made from sustainable materials, such as organic & recycled cotton.
📋 Everything is certified - our products have OCS (organic cotton) and GRS (recycled material) certifications. We have phased out the use of the GOTS certification, as it does not cover recycled fibres.
🧵 Ethical and transparent production in China, verified through the Higg-FSLM program (assessment tool by SLCP). Click to see pictures, or scan the barcode on your new basics.
🐰All of our products are vegan.
📦 Low-waste, plastic-free packaging.
🌍 Climate neutral shipping.
🪡 We've partnered up with our main supplier to become even more sustainable. They are following industry-programs like ZDHC (chemicals), the Carbon Leadership Program (carbon reduction) and/or Higg-FEM (environmental production management).
