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:
🌱 Sustainable materials, such as organic cotton & recycled cotton.
📋 Hardcore certification - our new products are OCS- (organic cotton) and GRS-certified (recycled cotton).
♻️ We use recycled cotton (GRS-certified) across our entire collection. Recycled fibers are not covered by the GOTS-certification, so we stopped using it.
🧵 Ethical and transparent production in China. Click to see pictures, or scan the barcode on your new basics.
🐰 All products are certified vegan.
📦 Low-waste, plastic-free packaging.
🌍 Climate neutral shipping.
🏷️ Sustainable accessoires, such as the labels.
🪡 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) or HIGG-FEM (social standards).
Shoot us an email or a DM on social media, if you want to hear more details. And yes we're happy to show our certifications!
Transparency: it's what we do and what we believe in. Below an overview of the costs we have, to make and bring our sustainable products to you. Not all our costs are factored in, some things such as salaries are hard to account for. As you can see we will lose money, if we lower our prices or have too much discounts.
