FYOB Brand

Behind the brand is Laura, cre­ator of FYOB, a per­son who beli­eves in valu­es. A per­son with good and not so good expe­ri­en­ces, whe­re her path in life has led her to beli­eve that thro­ugh clot­hes you can chan­ge things.

FYOB is com­mit­ted to ethi­cal pro­duc­ti­on and fair tra­de, whe­re all wor­kers have decent wor­king con­di­ti­ons. The fac­tory whe­re most of its gar­ments are made is cer­ti­fi­ed by the Fair Wear Foun­da­ti­on, which guaran­te­es that the con­di­ti­ons and rig­h­ts of wor­kers and fair tra­de prac­ti­ces have been res­pec­ted thro­ug­ho­ut the pro­duc­ti­on cha­in of a garment.

All the fabrics she wor­ks with are eco­lo­gi­cal, recy­cled and vegan. Her skirts and kimo­nos are made with cupro and vis­co­se.

The mate­ri­al cupro is also cal­led ​“vegan silk” beca­use it has many simi­lar pro­per­ti­es to silk. This fibre is made using cot­ton was­te and is the­re­fo­re plant-based. Vis­co­se, on the other hand, is a fabric obta­ined from cer­ti­fi­ed wood (LEN­ZING™ ECO­VE­RO™). This means it is made with wood sour­ced from sus­ta­ina­ble fores­try.

The­ir T‑shirts and tote bags are made from 100% orga­nic cot­ton with GOTS (Glo­bal Orga­nic Texti­le Stan­dard) cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on. Orga­nic cot­ton is grown in a sus­ta­ina­ble way whe­re no che­mi­cals (toxic, pes­ti­ci­des, fer­ti­li­sers) are used and the cycles of the ear­th are respected.

Final­ly, its swe­at­shirts and hats are made from 100% orga­nic cot­ton with GOTS (Glo­bal Orga­nic Texti­le Stan­dard) cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on and recy­cled polyes­ter with GRS (Glo­bal Recy­cled Stan­dard) cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on, a cer­ti­fi­ca­te guaran­te­eing that a mini­mum of 20% of the fabric con­sis­ts of recy­cled fibres.

At FYOB they fol­low the ​“zero was­te” phi­lo­sop­hy, whe­re lef­to­ver pieces of fabric are always reused to cre­ate new pieces, pac­ka­ging or any other possi­ble use.

In this way they enco­ura­ge the reuse of was­te that would otherwi­se be sto­red or inci­ne­ra­ted, thus con­tri­bu­ting to the decon­ta­mi­na­ti­on of the environment.

FYOB BRAND kimo­nos and skirts are 100% local­ly made in a wor­k­shop loca­ted in Giro­na, ensu­ring the best quality finish and mini­mum fabric was­te. Thus bet­ting on local production.

Howe­ver, the first sta­ge of FYOB BRAN­D’s T-shirts, tote bags, swe­at­shirts and fisher­man’s hats are made in Ban­gla­desh, under ethi­cal and fair conditions.

Final­ly, the fini­shing and deta­ils of all the gar­ments, the pac­ka­ging, iro­ning and ship­ping are always done from the­ir wor­k­shop loca­ted in Girona. 

FYOB is a 100% vegan brand!

Its gar­ments have two vegan certificates:

V- Label, which con­fir­ms that the gar­ments do not con­ta­in any com­po­nents of ani­mal ori­gin thro­ugh deman­ding and exha­us­ti­ve con­trols and audits, and Peta appro­ved Vegan cer­ti­fi­ca­te. The lat­ter guaran­te­es that the com­po­nents, the fabrics and the final gar­ment have not been tes­ted on ani­mals. This cer­ti­fi­ca­te is valid for a mini­mum of one year.

FYOB gar­ments are limi­ted seri­es, as few units are pro­du­ced. They are made with quality sus­ta­ina­ble fabrics for gre­ater durability.

In addi­ti­on, FYOB gar­ments are gen­der­less. They want to make visi­ble and bre­ak with all the ste­re­otypes lin­ked to gen­der, so they cre­ate with a casu­al style, for all body types.

FYOB has reve­aled to COSH! all the pla­ces whe­re it buys mate­ri­als and manu­fac­tu­res its gar­ments. Fur­t­her­mo­re, on its web­si­te in the des­crip­ti­on of some of its gar­ments, you can find infor­ma­ti­on abo­ut whe­re the gar­ment is produced.
