MADE-BY: working towards sustainably made kids clothes
I'm going to keep going with the button theme. Lately, I have been seeing blue buttons pop up everywhere I look. Turns out that they represent clothing and shoes made using people- and environment-friendly manufacturing processes.
The blue buttons originated in 2006, when Dutch-founded sustainable fashion organization MADE-BY decided to create a symbol that consumers could use to easily tell if a fashion brand is making efforts to use organic cotton and work with sewing factories that have a social code of conduct.
MADE-BY isn't a clothing company itself, but they work with clothing companies to improve production and then let the public know about it. Learn more about the companies they work with.
