Fashion Revolution Week April 23 - 29
On April 24, 2013, 1,138 textile workers were killed and over 2,500 were injured when the Rana Plaza plant collapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh. That’s when Fashion Revolution was born, a global non-profit movement centered on an annual campaign.
From April 23 - 29, Fashion Revolution Week will unite people and companies from all over the world. The goal is to create awareness of the true cost of fashion – for people and for the environment. And to show the world that a change is possible. Not least for the conditions of the people who make the world’s clothes.
How we think at Boob
We have decided to only make clothes that serve a purpose. We then make sure that they are made as environmentally optimal as possible, in every way – when it comes to design, function, materials selection and production. This leads to clothes that have a long life – that hold up to being used, washed and loved, over and over again.
Our goal is to build close, long-term relationships with suppliers who share our focus on human rights and environmental concerns. We have chosen to locate our production in Portugal, Turkey, Italy and Greece. We place high demands on our suppliers in terms of environmental and social responsibility and only cooperate with factories that respect our Code of Conduct.
We at Boob want to be involved and draw attention to Fashion Revolution Week because we think their work is important. Learn more about our work with sustainability and the materials we use.

Meet some of the people and factories behind our clothes
Irmaos Rodrigues, Calze Ileana and Colora are three of the factories we work with. Our cooperation is based on a common understanding: that the responsibility for this planet and for those of us who live here is one we all must share.
