People
NWHR’s accessories are produced by MMZ, a family workshop located in a small town in Spain where only 7 people work. The workshop is 540 km from NWHR’s offices allowing the team to visit regularly. Despite being so small the workshop is GOTS certified and audited by SMETA for labour standards.
NWHR’s 2nd and 3rd tier accessories suppliers (yarn and cotton) are also GOTS certified.
NWHR is a team of 5, four women and one man. Employees have flexibility to work from home or the office as suits their routine and enjoy 30 days of vacation compared to the 22 days allowed by Spanish law. NWHR is committed to being an inclusive business and actively support the LGTBI community in their social networks.
Planet
NWHR accessories are expertly crafted to last.
Certified organic cotton protects the environment and also farmers who may suffer ill health when coming into contact with the intensive fertilisers and pesticides used in conventional cotton production.
Areas for development
NWHR cite ‘self-criticism and the desire to improve’ as fundamental values of the business. They would like to explore the use of additional lower impact fabrics such as hemp and Pyratex. In addition they would like to see the factories they work with increase the % of renewable energy they use and change all their lights to LEDs.
