Little by Little works closely with the Belgian fabric manufacturer and producer Marcel Liebaert, with whom the label maintains a close business relationship.
As the fashion label is certified with the Made in Green label, they guarantee that everyone involved along the entire supply chain works under socially responsible working conditions.
Little by Little works exclusively with recycled polyamide and elastane from pre-consumer waste – waste generated before a product reaches the end consumer. This includes offcuts or excess materials from manufacturing. The logo on the textiles is made from a reflective material.
The partner, Liebaert, holds numerous certifications, which underline its high standards in environmental and quality management: ISO 14001 for environmental management, ISO 50001 for energy management, ISO 9001 for quality management, as well as REACH compliance for chemical management. Additionally, the fabrics are certified according to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyed and printed fabrics and meet the requirements of OEKO-TEX STEP and OEKO-TEX Detox to Zero. These certifications guarantee a more eco-friendly production and responsible use of resources.
Recycled polyamide and elastane are a more sustainable option for synthetic fibres, yet they can still release microplastics into the ecosystem.

With the goal of recycling textiles at the end of their life, the company deliberately avoids components such as zippers, buttons and similar elements.
Customers can return products and receive a discount voucher in exchange. Little by Little aims to forward these returned textiles to their manufacturer to be recycled.

The headquarters is located in Kontich, in the province of Antwerp.
Little by Little is certified with the Made in Green label, which ensures that products are tested for harmful substances and manufactured to the highest environmental standards. Furthermore, the label guarantees that all parties involved across the supply chain work under socially responsible working conditions.
The Belgian fabric manufacturer Marcel Liebaert, who also produces textiles for Little by Little, provides a significant advantage in the supply chain, as the transportation of materials to the producer is eliminated. This not only enables more efficient production, but also makes a significant contribution to reducing the environmental footprint. In a conversation with the founder Tom, he told us at COSH! that transportation is limited to about 60 kilometres.
Little by Little does not use any animal fibres in its products.
The company offers both women’s and men’s products, as well as unisex items and accessories, and is limited to a summer and winter collection each year. Discover the stylish, high-quality shirts, leggings, and socks that are guaranteed to accompany you for a long time.
In an interview with COSH!, Tom emphasises that it is important to recognise that product manufacturing always has an impact. He appeals for the focus to be placed on reducing the ecological footprint as much as possible. Little by Little has already developed various strategies for this.
Customers can even find a price breakdown of the products on the website, which ensures transparency and trust.
