impact.
People
We at Fous A Fous believe that everyone who is included in the process of creating a garment should be treated equally. We carefully select our partners by assessing the working conditions of their employees proven by reports, certificates and visits. It is our responsibility to only support and accept fair working conditions.
Meet our partners!
Environment
We want to step away from using sustainability as a marketing tool and make it a matter of course in everything we do. Taking responsibility and protecting our environment is not an option but a must. By assessing our supplier‘s impact proven within reports and certificates we ensure that everyone who works with us follows the same goal and most importantly we only usenatural or recycled materials and deadstock fabrics.
Find out more about the certificates and initiatives used to
audit companies and materials on their impact and have a look at our products!

Certificates
The Global Organic Textile
Standard (GOTS) defines
world-wide recognised
requirements for organic textiles.
The Organic Content Standard (OCS)
confirms the presence and amount of
organic material in a final product and
tracks the flow of the raw materials from
its
source to the final product as a third party.
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS)
is a voluntary standard that addresses
the welfare of sheep and the land they
graze on.
Mulesing is a quick method of
controlling flystrike in merino sheep,
resulting in poor welfare both during and
after the procedure and it is categorized
as cruel and painful by PETA, who advise
more humane alternatives.
The Global Recycle Standard (GRS) is
an international, voluntary, full product
standard that sets
requirements for third-party
certification of recycled content.
Deadstock is not an official certification
but we designed a label to describe
fabrics that are leftover and would techni-
cally go to waste but can still be used for
other production.
