Distinguishing concepts:

Sustainability focuses on ecological and social impacts. Circularity closes the production loop. While transparency involves the openness and disclosure of information on the supply chain.

Transparency in fashion supply chains

Transparency in fashion supply chain is a critical issue with significant implications for companies, consumers, and the environment, carrying substantial weight in the industry. The advantages of fostering transparency are diverse, spanning across the realms of corporate operations, consumer choices, and environmental sustainability.

Trace Collective was born to reimagine the way that the fashion industry interacts with the environment. They choose to produce slowly, regionally, paying attention to every single detail. Their main workshop is in Spain, a country with a long tradition of artisan textile production.

"We want to demonstrate another way of ‘doing’ fashion. The company's ultimate purpose is the happiness of all who are a part of it, and to share prosperous economic activity so that it benefits everyone: from our customers to our workers, and to anyone else who is invested in our project. This is why we operate responsibly by putting people at the center. "
