Who Made My Clothes?

"Fast Fashion isn't cheap. Someone somewhere is paying for it." ~ Lucy Siegle

Did you know that even with today's technology, most of our clothing is still primarily made by hand? At YALA, we acknowledge and honor the people whose time, skill, and dedication are essential to creating our sustainable products. We want you to know who made your cozy bamboo clothing and bedding!

In that spirit, we support Who Made My Clothes, a campaign led by Fashion Revolution to promote transparency in the fashion industry. It is an honor to introduce you to a few of our garment makers!⁠

Cultivating Long-Term Relationships

We are grateful to have a long-running relationship with a single, family-run sewing factory in Chanshu City, China, that began in 2006. This has allowed us to get to know many of our workers, cultivate some of these relationships into personal friendships, and assure you, our valued customers, that the people who make your YALA garments are paid fairly, treated well, and work in a safe and comfortable environment.⁠

⁠Our production partners stay because of our commitment to the well-being of everyone in our supply chain. Many of them have been with us for over a decade in an industry where it is more common for people to quickly shift from factory to factory in search of safer conditions or better pay.⁠

It Takes a Village to Create Change

Thank you to our customers who value a better quality of life for the people who make their clothes and are willing to pay a little more to ensure it. Thank you to the advocates and influencers who bring this to light. Thank you to the consumers who demand it.

Thank you, @fash_rev, for spearheading the Who Made My Clothes campaign to raise awareness and demand more transparency in the fashion industry. ⁠⁠Lastly, thanks to our Production Partners for your skills, service, and dedication to producing the cozy bamboo Sleepwear, Loungewear, and Bedding we all enjoy!
