KOMODO
Exhibiting in TraidFare at Margin in FEB 2008
|
|
|
UK-based eco-aware label Komodo was
established in 1988, long before words like
ethical, organic and sustainable were applied
to clothing.
Komodo is celebrating 20 years as an ethical
business, still independent and
still working with
many of the same family-run factories in Bali and
Kathmandu that they started out with at the end of
the 80's. It is the style
of these long term
partnerships and joint commitments to
find better
ways to make more eco-friendly products that
defines 'sustainability' and 'fair business'.
Mens and Womenswear are designed with
style first and foremost, backed
up with
organic textiles and ethical manufacturing.
