Anekdot is headquartered in Berlin, Germany. For production, they collaborate with two small family-run companies in Poland. These manufacturers are flexible and willing to work with many different types of textiles and produce smaller runs. Due to the short distance between the manufacturers and Anekdot itself, the brand has a close relationship with the manufacturers. They thus have more control over production, reducing the amount of CO2 emissions released by transport.
Additionally, one seamstress in Berlin is working on smaller batches, which gives the label flexibility and the ability to produce on demand.
Manufacturers also have to comply with strict European labour regulations and legislation. This allows us to assume that the clothes are made in good social conditions, a safe working environment, and fair wages.
