ORIGIN is a not-for-profit organisation, raising funds for humanitarian development projects through the sale of ethical fashion.

In the creation of all our products we are committed to using high quality, carefully sourced, planet-friendly materials and most importantly we focus on the sustainability of both products and projects. 100% of our profits fund community driven, needs based projects. 

These projects are to invest in and establish social businesses with a targeted social purpose - child health through sanitation, female empowerment through skills training and education, supply of affordable non-communicable disease medications and education around this under-diagnosed ticking time bomb of Sub-Saharan Africa. 

Transparency & Sustainability 

We are committed to creating ethical garments, which means we strive to be kind to people, planet and the projects we work on. We believe there are enough factories in the world, so when we set out to create this collection we wanted to find wholesale partners to provide us with the highest quality ethical garments to adorn with our African fabrics and designs. 

Our tees are supplied by Stanley & Stella, an exceptional leader in organic cotton goods. They have multiple certifications including GOTS, Oeko-Tex and Fairwear Foundation. When printing our tees we also ensure we use organic dyes so we have complete confidence that the entire garment is planet friendly. 

Our base sweatshirts are created by Earth Positive. This incredible organisation has a carbon neutral manufacturing process as well as GOTS, Oeko-Tex and Fairwear Foundation certification. We are proud of our suppliers and confident in the standards of the garments we create. Though we are a small organisation we are working on gaining accreditation for the artisanal fabrics our artisans create as well so they can be celebrated for their planet friendly hand looming approach to textile creation.
