The crew at speesees believe in playing fair and being nice. Their cotton is 100% skal-certified organic, which means no pesticides or chemical fertilizers have been used in its cultivation. speesees fabrics are treated with low-impact and herbal dyes, prints are made with pigments and pvc-free plastisols, and they skip the dioxin + formaldehyde altogether.
Meanwhile, in a small village in india…surrounded by an organic garden, their factory’s limestone walls create an open, airy ambiance, and chai breaks twice a day make work days pretty sweet. The factory is certified SA8000, a social accountability standard for decent working conditions (including workplace safety, renumeration, fair working hours, no discrimination, child labor, etc). the money earned by their factory supports not only its workers, but also is extended to help the community.
For every dollar that you spend at speesees, it is used for a variety of purposes within the indian village where they manufacture: from buying school supplies and a water pump for the zari pada school, to building a playground at the local orphanage.
