Quality Assurance and Ethical Practices

Q: How do you guarantee the highest quality, environment, certified safe, lawful, humane and ethical?

A: All T-shirts are made by Belle + Canvas and printed on State of the Art, Direct To Garment (DTG) Technology.

Further I partner with Belle + Canvas because my morals and values align with them.  In short they are awesome!!!

 1) Quality

THEM: To many brands, fast fashion collections are cheaply made and disposable, ultimately ending up in landfills.

BELLA+CANVAS: Quality is our #1 priority. Our pieces are made to be worn time and time again.

While our Fast Fashion collection is priced affordably for wholesale, this collection is built around quality. We aren’t cutting corners to shave off a few pennies, and as always, we refuse to use anything but the best quality combed and ring-spun cotton. Every fabric used in this collection is unbelievably soft, and made to wear time and time again. Manufacturers that use cheap carded-open end cotton are contributing to the garment industry’s huge pollution problem, because no one wants to wear those tees. The worst part? Many of these products ultimately end up in landfills. Our tees will end up in your closet and on your customers. And what’s better than that?

2) Environment

THEM: Frequently, fast fashion brands cut corners on manufacturing, which can lead to pollution.  

BELLA+CANVAS: Every one of our products is proudly made in our eco-conscious manufacturing facilities.

At BELLA+CANVAS, we don’t do things the easy way or the cheap way, we do them the right way. We carefully looked at every step of both our manufacturing process and our corporate practices and made every effort to minimize our carbon footprint. Things like zero-waste programs and solar energy efforts keep us green.  Our dye house only uses non-harmful chemicals and uses seven times less water than the industry average.  We also manufacture the collection in sunny Los Angeles, eliminating the need to burn fossil fuels on oversea shipments.

3) Labor Conditions

THEM: Oftentimes, fast fashion brands create products in sweatshops, which are unsafe, unlawful, and absolutely unethical.

BELLA+CANVAS: We are a 100% no-sweatshop company and take great pride in creating a positive, safe working environment.

Being a 100% no-sweatshop company is a big deal to us. In fact, our LA facilities have received platinum level certification from W.R.A.P. (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production), which is an independent group of social compliance experts that makes sure their factories are certified safe, lawful, humane, and ethical.  We strive to be as transparent as possible in everything we do.
