Did you know that you’re a part of and contributing to something great when shopping with us? Choosing custom-made clothing is a win-win for both you and our planet. Here’s why:
• We only produce by order and keep no inventory, resulting in less waste and excessive production. A more sustainable production, to put it short.
• Clothes that fit get more wear time, which means you can spend more time looking great in fewer clothes instead of buying lots that don’t fit.
• We take pride in fully owning and operating our facilities, ensuring your clothing is made in a good way.
We’re in it all the way. That means fully owned and operated facilities in Sri Lanka where we get to be a part of and take responsibility for the whole process - from raw materials to finished products. This also ensures well-compensated workers who, let’s be honest, we wouldn’t be anything without.
Nawa's been with us for a long time, since 2004. He's a super-skilled tailor and has significantly impacted our team.
Our Sri Lankan facilities boast a team of exceptionally talented workers who are the driving force behind our exceptional products. Who better to feature than the people who make it all possible?
Meet the tailorsIt’s not until you place your order that we begin to produce it. We don’t hold any unnecessary stocks of unflattering ready-to-wear standard sizes, because why should we? There’s more in it for you and our planet to go custom. You’ll get a garment made simply for you and nobody else. Help us take another step away from unsustainable mass-consumption.
We're putting in a lot of effort to make sure we don't waste anything in our production process. We've got all sorts of cool machines that help us use as little fabric as possible, and we're also doing something pretty neat with all the leftover bits. We're selling or giving away the scraps for next to nothing to local families, who then use the fabric to make carpets and rugs. It's not like we're making any money off of this - we just want to help out our community however we can. It's a win-win situation: we're keeping waste to a minimum and helping people out at the same time.
”What we do, may not be on a grand scale, but I believe that we should do our part in any way we can, to make the world a better place. We see on a daily basis how this small initiative changes the lives of the people around us.”
- Rohini, Account Officer at Tailor Store Sri Lanka
