On our Founder's first sourcing trip to India she was connected to several factories (all through friends of friends of friends). They were doing incredible things like employing women rescued out of sex trafficking, providing day care for employee's kids, and running machines that dyed denim with one glass of water! They were all impressive ethical garment factories but they all also had... terrible websites. It was obvious why it was so hard to source ethical factories. That is why THR3EFOLD is obsessed with rounding up all the best ethical garment factories around the world and help put the impact in your hands.

What Production categories are available?
•Knitwear •Woven •Womenswear •Menswear •Childrenswear •Soft Accessories •Soft Home Goods •Activewear •Leather Goods •Hosiery •Lingerie •Suiting •Swim •Uniforms
do you have low minimum factories?
Yes, we have several factories with 200-500 MOQs. Please keep in mind, this is only production minimums and not fabric minimums which is up to your textile mill. If you need less than 200 units you will be better served finding a local factory first who specializes in small batch first before coming to THR3EFOLD.
WHat makes a factory ethical or sustainable?
All factories on our platform must hold an ethical certification that has been conducted by an outside auditing body. You can learn more about the standards we require here. We often find ethically certified factories also take extra measures to be more sustainable as well however our certifications are mainly labor focused. We encourage you ask the factory how they are practicing sustainability and work with them to be more sustainable during your production as well.
Do I get access to all factories?
Yes! Your membership gives you instant access to our full database of ethically certified factories. We believe in putting the choices in your hands to make the best decision for you.
how Does THR3EFOLD vet factories?
THR3EFOLD is not an auditing body but rather a platform to gather all already certified factories in one place. We only accept the social compliance / labor certifications that require an in-person audit. When a factory applies, they must submit a current certification from one of our approved certifications (WRAP, Betterwork, SA8000, GOTS, World Fair Trade Organization, Fair Wear Foundation, and coming soon Smeta's SEDEX). Our team reviews this certification and cross references it with the certifying body in question to verify its validity.
