Our signature Satin TENCEL™ fabric which constitutes 85% of our collection is dyed in a state of the art dye house in India that adheres to the highest environmental and social standards. The factory is powered by solar energy and excess energy is directed back to the local community. Water used for dying is captured in reservoirs from the monsoon rains which is then purified and processed using non-toxic and AZO free dyes. Nearly 90% of the water used during the dyeing process is recycled in a common effluent treatment plant. Sponsorship of the industrial park has been provided by grants in collaboration with the UN and European Commission through the SWITCH-Asia initiative.
The fashion industry is notorious for using materials that are harmful to the environment. Instead of virgin plastic poly bags we use 100% biodegradable bags to wrap our garments for shipping. All paper packaging is made from recycled cotton fabrics that are sourced from local garment factories and repurposed into that are sourced from local garment factories and repurposed into 100% recycled paper.
We are committed to the transparency and traceability of our production process from start to finish. Not only are we intimately familiar with the production standards and processes behind our clothing, we’ve also forged close connections with the families and communities we work in. Our founders regularly inspect every juncture of the supply chain to ensure that our sustainability standards are upheld and our workers are treated fairly. From our founders to our factory workers to our customers, our mission at Neu Nomads is to empower our growing global collective of women. 85% of our garments are produced in a family-owned factory in Delhi that maintains healthy working conditions, health care benefits and compensation far above the living wage. The rest of our collections are made between Portugal, Lithuania and Nepal in female-owned factories that meet the same standards. Our female designers celebrate women’s bodies and take an inclusive approach to fit and design.
We think beautiful clothing should be affordable and accessible. By working directly with our suppliers and keeping overhead costs low, we’re able to bring you products of exceptional quality without the traditional markups. Plus, we’re minimalists at heart. We believe in doing more with less, so we’ve designed every piece in our collection to be endlessly wearable, washable and versatile.
