Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Product Materials & Services

1. Do you offer original designs, or do we need to provide them?

Our design and research and development (R&D) team creates original designs. We also offer Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) services to customers on specific terms. We are also happy to work with designs provided by our buyers. We just ensure that no unauthorized copying occurs between businesses.

2. Where is your leather sourced?

Our leather comes from certified, environmentally responsible tanneries that follow strict sustainability and ethical standards. So far, we've collaborated with three Leather Working Group (LWG) certified tanneries in Bangladesh.

3. What makes your leather sustainable?

We use ethically sourced leather primarily from Bangladeshi tanneries. The leather is vegetable-tanned or semi-chrome and is free from harmful chemicals.

4. Is your leather cruelty-free?

We use genuine leather and believe firmly in using natural materials in a circular way for a sustainable planet. Our leathers are collected from traditional domestic slaughterers. In rural Bangladesh, cattle are raised for agricultural purposes and later sold for meat consumption. Leather is a byproduct of the meat market; cows and goats are never killed solely for leather products.

5. Are your dyes and glues eco-friendly?

Yes. Our leather suppliers use non-toxic, REACH standard dyes in the leather finishing process, and we use water-based adhesives in our production to minimize environmental impact. 

6. How do you ensure the quality of your lining materials?

We primarily use natural cotton canvas fabric. We also choose upcycled fabrics and stock lots from garment factories. Additionally, we use recycled PET fabrics from certified and verified factories.

7. How do you ensure the quality of your metal accessories?

We source our metal and other accessories from certified factories in China that supply to renowned global brands.

8. How do you ensure the quality of the products you make for a buyer?

We follow rigorous processes to ensure product quality throughout the supply chain and manufacturing. Our inline quality control is checked in several tiers and sections. We follow strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and manuals during bulk production. We also welcome in-production and pre-shipment inspections by a third-party quality checker upon the demand of our buyers.

We ship worldwide by air freight and sea freight based on business contract terms. For urgent shipments of small consignments, we use courier services. As an exporting country for fashion items, all internationally reputed courier services operate here in Bangladesh.
