“I spent so much time trying to figure out all the logistics of running my fashion brand that I couldn't find the time to do the one thing I needed to do most... Sell!
Prototype filled in my knowledge gaps and put product in my hands so I could finally get control of my business. ”

Ethical Apparel Manufacturing
Ethical manufacturing produces a product or process that is in balance with the world and produced with the best intentions. There’s a vast complex universe of things to be considered: the ecology affected by the sourcing of the materials, the life cycle, the waste process, and of course the complicated lives and needs of those people who produce the items.
Certified by Prototype is not an “organic” certification, it’s not “fair trade”, it’s all of them and none of them. It’s what we call a Common Sense Certification. A protocol that is built and maintained with passion and care.
