Production Materials are sourced from the US, China, Turkey and Australia. Garments are made in Vancouver and sewn at a small production house that employs fair wages, a positive and comfortable working environment. No fair trade certification is available. Design Natural colours transcend seasons, and there is a clear emphasis on simple lines, and classic designs. Special Features Nixxi presented their designs as an “Eco & Ethical Ready-To-Wear Label” at the EcoChic Fashion Show and Exhibition in Geneva in January. By presenting at EcoChic Geneva, Nixxi has partnered with Green2Greener, and aligned their designs with the United Nations International Year of Biodiversity. FTA Comments : We like the use of sustainable fabrics and local production. However we would like to see more certification schemes to back up the organic fabric claims.
