Elegantees
A New York fashion brand that brings together the aesthetics of the big apple and the ethics of a global community together, Elegantees clothes are designed in the USA but cut and sewn in Nepal. However, far from being another story of Western industry profiteering from Eastern sweatshop labour, Elegantees helps women rescued from human trafficking through the means of eliminating poverty. Providing a living wage for their Nepalese seamstresses their sewing centre provides meaningful and viable work under a fair wage structure that is 2 or 3x higher than the Nepalese minimum wage and also offers paid time off for their workers.
The cotton used in the production of the garments is also ethically sourced from GOTS Certified Organic Cotton suppliers in India meaning that the farmers selling their produce receive a fair and liveable wage without having to work with harmful or damaging chemicals along the way.
With sizes and shapes for all women, this brand believes in bringing fashion to everyone and not making everyone conform to the all too often unrealistic standards of beauty set by the fashion industry.
