Our sewing partners
We knit in Gällstad, but our work also relies on close and long-term collaborations with sewing partners in Europe.
For more than 30 years, we have worked with family-owned sewing factories in Estonia, Lithuania, and Poland. These are long-term partnerships based on craftsmanship, continuity, and a shared commitment to quality. For us, it is also essential that those who work there have good working conditions and a safe work environment.

We maintain close communication with our partners and work together in the daily workflow. It’s not just about deliveries, but also about problem-solving, development, and a shared responsibility for the final result.

Twice a week, transports run between us and our partners. Knitted material is sent from us, and finished garments come back. This creates a steady and well-functioning flow throughout the entire production. For us, it is important that collaborations are based on good working conditions and fair treatment. We want the compensation to reflect the knowledge and work behind each finished garment.

In some cases, we also let machines and equipment continue to be used by our partners when they can be put to better use there than with us. This is also part of how we view sustainability and resource efficiency.

In addition to our sewing partners, we also collaborate with high-quality spinning mills in Europe.
