The brand is located in Spain, and produces mostly locally in Spain and Portugal, making it easier for them to regularly check the ethical production practices in the production facility. They also conduct only 7% of their production in China and India, their Chinese producer being certified by Amfori BSCI for ethical production practices. They have a strict and comprehensive code of conduct that all their manufacturer and supplier partners need to follow. They also conduct positive social projects, such as collaborating with the Red Cross to support families and children in need.
Bobo Choses not only cares about the well-being of the wearer, but also the well-being of our planet. That’s why the brand does its best to be as sustainable as possible.
Bobo Choses uses a majority of natural materials, with Sustainable Cotton (including organic and regenerated cotton) accounting for more than half their collection. They have introduced BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) as a sustainable source, and GRS (Global Recycling Standard) certified recycled cotton makes up 20% of their denim fabrics. They also use other natural materials like wool and rubber, and sustainable synthetic materials like recycled polyamide and polyester.
The brand doesn’t use chemicals harmful to the user and environment, and all garments are supposedly Oeko-Tex certified, which guarantees the non-toxicity of the garments. Their organic cotton is also GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified, which ensures sustainable production of the raw material. They also use environmentally friendly packaging that is supposed to be certified 100% recyclable and biodegradable.
The brand has many monomaterial garments which are easily recyclable at the end of use, and also use recycled materials, contributing to their circularity. They have an arrangement with an organization to stock all the leftover scraps and use them to recycle and create new fabrics, which makes them a truly circular brand.
The brand produces locally to the headquarters in Spain and Portugal, making the length of the supply chain very short. We, however, are unaware of the source of most of the materials, making the real length of the chain unverifiable. We also do not know their method of transport, but it is safe to assume that for short distances between the headquarters and production location they use low-emission transportation methods.
Bobo Choses mentions the use of wool, but doesn’t provide any details regarding the ethical sourcing of the material.
The brand uses high quality materials and creates fun prints inspired by older decades, which never go out of style! They also provide extensive product care guides that help the user keep the products in use for as long as possible.
Bobo Choses provides a lot of transparency regarding their production and materials and packaging, which we commend! They have also provided COSH! with their GOTS and some Oeko-Tex certifications (to be updated), but we would love to know more regarding their material suppliers (names and locations) and transportation methods.
