1. FAIR & TRANSPARENT SUPPLY CHAIN
We believe it's crucial that our timeless collections are crafted within a fair and transparent supply chain, protecting fair labor conditions, living wages, worker health and safety, and animal welfare.
We're constantly working towards making our entire supply chain align with our values, and we acknowledge that this is a work in progress.
Where we are in 2024:
- All our suppliers have signed our code of conduct.
- 95% of our collection is produced in Europe.
- We are mapping the supply chain to ensure our products are made under social compliance criteria at every stage, guaranteeing fair wages and safe, respectful workplaces.
Our goals for 2025:
- Maintain 95%* of our production in Europe, while striving to achieve 100%.
- Provide more transparency for every article on the website about the country and location of production, certification status and origin of the materials. We’re working to launch the first steps of this feature by Winter 2023.
*For the remaining 5% of our production, materials are either unavailable in Europe or sourced elsewhere for better quality purposes. Occasionally, our Portuguese suppliers may procure trimmings like zippers from Asia, but we strive to minimize this.
All suppliers outside of Europe are consciously chosen and subject to due diligence. Our goal is to fully transition to European suppliers as soon as possible, enhancing our commitment to sustainability and transparency
2. GOTS CERTIFICATION
10DAYS is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).
This certification reflects our dedication to sustainability and social responsibility throughout our entire production chain. Not only this aligns with our commitment to creating lasting, eco-friendly products, but also strengthens our pledge to foster a transparent and inclusive environment for all involved.
GOTS is an independent standard for the manufacture and processing of organic natural fibres. GOTS certification guarantees sustainability along the complete production process, a product can only be certified when the entire production chain, from farming to spinning, weaving or knitting, dying, printing, trims and accessories, is certified.
GOTS requires a minimum content of 70% certified organic material and has strict limitations on the other materials that are used in the mix. And all GOTS certified products and packaging must comply with the chemical restrictions of the standard.
GOTS certified facilities need to have highly effective wastewater treatment and recycling systems that protect local ecosystems and communities from pollution.
Next to that, GOTS has social compliance criteria that must be followed at every stage, ensuring employment is freely chosen, people do not work excessive working hours, earn fair wages and have safe and respectful workplaces.
FABRIC & CARE
We craft our timeless, seasonless collections using the most sustainable materials available, minimizing environmental impact while ensuring longevity and quality. Our long-lasting products allow people to consume less over time, reducing waste and promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.
Where we are in 2024:

- 50% of our cotton styles are made from organic cotton
Our goals for 2025:
