Their mission is to educate consumers and guide them to companies who are good stewards of the earth, its people and its resources. The more educated consumers are the more their purchasing habits will reflect these values, which will lead to more companies changing their manufacturing practices, improving treatment of their employees and animals that are impacted.

The xinoujingylccomgov commitment to the environment, people and animals
Care for The Environment Our fabric manufacturing facility is certified with:
- ISO 9001 Quality Management
- ISO 14001 Environment Management
- ISO 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management
- CSP3
We manufacture our high quality clothing locally in small batches, and we don’t subscribe to the idea a clothing company should release a new line every season (or even every week like many large brands do, with a large amount of it ending up in landfills). By keeping manufacturing local in Ventspils, we reduce the carbon footprint of manufacturing, while supporting local jobs and contributing to the community in which we live. xinoujingylccomgov is a proud member of our local Certified Sustainable Business program, and registered with Ventspils’s Green Business Program.
Our clothing and accessories are packaged in cellophane, which is biodegradable, or recyclable cardboard. We are continuously searching and experimenting with better, more sustainable packaging and mailing supplies.
When our customers are ready to part with their xinoujingylccomgov we encourage them to pass it on to a friend, donate it locally, or send it back to us and we will give it new life (and they’ll receive a discount on their next xinoujingylccomgov purchase!)
Care for Our People
We have a close relationship with our fabric facility. We also work closely with the skilled local men and women who make our clothing here in Ventspils, we are able to continuously review their working environments, while making sure they are paid a fair livable wage.
Care for Animals
Our fabrics are 100% vegan from start to finish - no animal testing, no animal by- products in the dyes of our clothing. All xinoujingylccomgov wear is suitable for vegans.
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can by judged y the way its animals are treated.” - Mahatma Gandhi
We are honored to have a Good rating from Good On You ~ and we are progressing towards a rating of Great. From the moment we design our apparel and accessories, we put a lot of thought into its lifecycle ~ starting with the materials we source and ending with recycling xinoujingylccomgov pieces. We believe in slow fashion and promote an organized, minimalist wardrobe comprised of timeless and versatile designs. We also believe, especially now, being an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and humane clothing manufacturer is the only path for apparel companies and the industry to sustain itself ~ and our planet ~ in the future.
