Organic fabrics uses carry Control Union and GOTS certification. Moving forward, the company will be phasing out bamboo and replacing it with Modal. Production We3 has claimed to design a “sweatshop free line", produced in a family operated factory in BC. While there is no fair trade certification scheme, they audit the factory regularly to ensure a safe and healthy working environment. Design We3 designs are taken from bestselling pieces sold by the three designers at the retail store twigg&hottie in Vancouver. In this way, the collection is finely edited, before going into production. The designs are versatile, and can be worn either as a layering piece, or on their own. Some pieces can be worn more than one way. Special Features We3 has provided online care instructions for customers, including advise on how to keep them longer lasting. Printed materials, including catalogues and hang tags, are printed on recycled paper. To reduce sample shipping, the company has posted a sales video on their website. FTA Comments : We3 is making great effort to work with sustainable fabrics, and have ensured their organic materials have proper certification schemes in place. However, it would be nice to see some updated information about bamboo so that it is not as misleading, particularly since there are plans to phase it out of the collection. Currently it is grouped with the other sustainable fabrics that are sourced because of their lighter environmental impacts.
