Solid’s Tales collection is produced in ethical conditions. The brand has workshops and workplaces in India, Peru and Kenya, among others. There, Solid aims to provide employment and training for women in difficult living situations.
In India, Solid has a weaving mill that employs 60 artisans. The weaving mill is located in Jharkhand, northern India. This is one of the poorest regions in the country, by establishing their production here Solid wants to help improve social conditions.
The weaving of the baskets is done in Kenya. Solid works with a production partner for this, Hadithi Crafts. This is an organization that offers basket weavers in Kenya a steady income for their work. In this way the techniques and knowledge remain alive, and the weavers receive a fair wage.
It is very expensive for small production partners and workshops to become certified. To ensure that the productions take place in ethical, fair and safe conditions, Solid visits production sites annually.
