Sustainable production
Nobody should be exploited for fashion! What sounds so obvious unfortunately needs to be reminded time and again. Among other things through the Fashion Revolution Weekwhich takes place this year from April 18 to 24.
On April 24, 2013, Rana Plaza, a nine-storey building housing five textile factories, collapsed in Bangladesh. More than 1,000 people lost their lives, most of them women who had worked there under unacceptable working and safety conditions. This industrial catastrophe shook many consumers awake - and led to Fashion Revolution Week, among other things.
No fair fashion without fair wages
With this worldwide, seven-day campaign, the initiators want to draw attention to the poor production conditions in the clothing, textile and shoe industry and highlight Fair Wear as an alternative to mainstream fashion. Instead of exploiting workers and the environment in textile production, the Fair Wear Foundation focuses on sustainable fashion, the production of which is subject to strict requirements for labor practices and workers' rights. These include a ban on child labor and discrimination, safe and healthy working conditions and the payment of a living wage.
The theme of this year's Fashion Revolution Week is "Money Fashion Power". On the one hand, the focus is on wages that workers can live on. On the other hand, it also aims to raise awareness of the value we place on our clothes and how carefully we treat them.
Mary Rose fully supports these goals and concerns. That is why we will once again be dedicating an entire week to the topic of fair wear this year. In addition to information about #whomademyfabrics, we have prepared small exhibitions in our stores in Dornbirn and Innsbruck. Here you can take a look behind the scenes of our textile production.
Fair Wear at Mary Rose
As a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, we have been striving for years to continuously improve working conditions in our production facilities. We carry out employee surveys and inspection visits and do everything we can to ensure that we can offer you textiles that have been produced in a socially fair and sustainable way.
It is not about where production takes place, but how. Instead of wanting to grow cotton in Austria, we improve working conditions in the countries of production. Everyone benefits from this. Even if we are not yet perfect, we want to be a role model and show how home textiles can be produced as fairly and sustainably as possible. A big thank you also to you, dear customers! With your loyalty to our products, you are making a major contribution to the success of our Fair Wear "mission"!
Invitation to the Fashion Revolution
We at Mary Rose are convinced that consumers have a power that they should use. Let's give our clothing the value it deserves again, and let's stand up for a revolutionary way of textile production that is socially and ecologically compatible! The seamstresses in Bangladesh, India and elsewhere will thank us - and so will our environment.
