Fair Fashion
Buttons & Needles is a Fair Fashion brand.
We specialize in handmade custom stitching for Petite and Plus Sizes. We are keen to promote the concept of fair fashion.
Besides value for money, our motive is to make our potential customers aware of the harmful impacts of fast fashion, as well as to make them take pride in adopting fair fashion.
We work with organic and sustainable material, thus, we make sure there isn't be any use of harmful toxic substances exposed to our workers' health.
We have implemented Fair Production methods from the beginning.
We all spend half of our day at the workplace. Our facility has proper ventilation, and proper hygienic arrangements for workers, nevertheless, we treat the production line as our own home.
We also value the input of our tailors while designing clothes so we don’t waste any raw material and make use of leftover material. That’s how we came up with the idea of handmade belts.
The clothing industry is a significant contributor to environmental and health damage.
Climate change, plastic pollution, deforestation, water scarcity, and now COVID-19 to name a few.
We went the extra mile to create a sustainable fashion line aiming to become a solution to bigger environmental problems.
We focus on procuring Fair Material that is sustainable.
Our vision is to create mass awareness about fair fashion, as well as a minimum consumption of printed material to avoid waste.
Thus, one of the efforts is to introduce a new way of packaging where customers can retain the packaging for its optimal use.
We use biodegradable cardboard to pack our clothes and jewelry delivery boxes. We discouraged the use of plastic to reduce the carbon footprints, something often overlooked by many customers.
We literally breathe the clothes we wear.
We often look at a beautiful piece of clothing and tend to forget about the life-cycle and the whole production mechanism behind it.
Out of our passion and love for fashion, we are dedicated to delivering a premium product by sourcing natural material without compromising your sense of style and well-being while avoiding the harmful impacts fast fashion has on the environment.
Buttons & Needles promote conscious consumerism with utmost transparency in our products so you better understand what's in there for you and make you fall in love with your clothing choices again.
We believe in Fair Labor practices.
Our sole intention is to help the local tailoring community, local vendors, consequently, enjoy our success.
For decades, production sites have been switching locations on the lookout of cheaper factory overheads.
And the promise of fair wages remains unattended exploiting the misery of a particular segment of the population.
If we invest in a sustainable ecosystem we all reap the benefits from it.
We take it as our workers are doing us a favor. Local businesses have all the skillets but not enough resources to make it big.
They have all the talent and we have all the intent to utilize their skills to create a well-rounded product for our customers.
For this reason, we give them the liberty to propose their wages rather than us forcing them to live on minimum legal wage.
We're a fan of Fair Customer, and Women Empowerment.
We encourage women from all walks of lives to share their voices in front of a new audience from all walks of life.
Writing a post talking about the different qualities that potential customers should look for in clothing when they’re suffering from Lip- and Lymphoedema or they are Curvy.
Our approach is to involve women to build a community that inspires others to create their own fashion statement.
We invite you to talk about topics that matter to you. For instance, “Which fabric should I wear to hide my tummy” or “What kind of clothes should I wear to achieve a toned look?”
We fancy to take the initiative for a community to discuss many topics outside of fashion clothing by sharing empowerment stories, life updates, and health journeys.
