Made & Grown in the Tropics
We source from farms and collaborate with factories that prioritize eco-friendly practices and the welfare of their workers. Our partners follow strict guidelines to minimize waste, energy usage, and water consumption during the production process. Furthermore, they commit to maintaining a safe and healthy working environment and providing fair wages and benefits to their employees.
RIVAHS does not grow West Indian Sea Island Cotton. As a result, we ultimately rely on our local government agency's to regulate and enforce labour and environmental laws, as well as social policy's around its production.
