The 411 on Ethical Certification: Craftmark

At THR3EFOLD, we envision a day when the fashion industry has a 100% ethically made supply chain. As a brand, we know sometimes you need well run factories, and other times you need excellent handcrafted artisan work, best found in the skilled communities where it originated. For this we trust organizations with a compliance certification called Craftmark, here’s why.

The Craftmark Basics
1 | The hand skills of the practitioner are the most significant part
2 | The use of simple tools & equipment permitted where it reduces drudge work but doesn’t compromise skill.
3 | Handmade in India

Why It’s Special For You
