Transparency is at the heart of what we do. Since 2023, all Honest Basics products have been made in Ningbo (near Shanghai), China, by our trusted partner Vane Fashion.

Here’s the sewing of our white T-shirts in progress
For the mock-tops, sleeve openings are finished with an elastic ribbon — this prevents fraying and makes them extra comfy to wear
Another sewing operation: did you know it takes around 15 steps to complete one T-shirt from start to finish?
