The pencil case was manufactured by our bag and backpack producers in Kolkata, India.

Since the launch of our first model, we have worked closely with this company. Together, we have continuously developed and optimized the quality of the products. Our manufacturers have already received numerous awards for their social commitment. The topic of "female empowerment" is strongly promoted in both factories, and there are numerous training programs. Employees also benefit from annual medical programs, which are extended to the communities surrounding the production site.

We prioritize fair working conditions and a healthy work environment not only in our sewing department. From cotton to the finished product, we can trace all ingredients and guarantee compliance with ecological standards throughout the entire supply chain. All our production steps take place in the countries where the raw materials originate. This helps to maximize local value creation and shorten transport routes.
