With the variety of unique materials you use are the processes of creating a piece different from traditional fabrics? Where would you like to see Naz&Court in the next 5 years? Over the course of the next five years Naz&Court is hoping to make a measurable impact on the state of the environment cleaner waterways and cleaner waste. We also hope to see the wages of textile workers abroad increase to a living wage. Our commitment to using only sustainable fabrics, Fair Trade with an ethical workforce is just the beginning. It’s our mission to partner up with other non-profits and groups who are paving the way to make the world a better place through the future of commerce. We want our brand to be synonymous with a better life for people and the planet and to have Naz&Court products become the favorites in everyone’s wardrobe. The process of making the garment is NOT the same as most other companies, but not because of the fabrics we use. Many brands rely on child slave labor or slave labor in general where workers are expected to work in dangerous conditions for long hours while being exposed to cancerous vapors. Many workers live in horrible conditions and experience unreasonable workloads and humiliation. At Naz&Court we take the ethical treatment of the people who make our clothes very seriously. Every piece is constructed by an artisan who is working in a safe environment and getting paid a fair wage. 78 THE CONE - ISSUE #7 - FALL 2015
