Continental Clothing: Protecting People & the Planet

Protecting our vulnerable planet is of course absolutely crucial. But we must never forget the PEOPLE that inhabit it. Whenever you make a purchase, you should always consider that the product you are buying lies at the end of a long and complex chain. The number of people who have been involved in creating the product, from sourcing the raw materials to shipping the finished result, can be massive. 

Sadly, it is often during the early stages of production that the people involved are not treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve. It is these people who usually work the hardest, forced to tolerate unthinkable conditions and accept ridiculously low wages simply in order to afford to feed themselves and their families. At Texprint, we reject the idea that this situation is unchangeable and that's why we choose to source garments from suppliers who actively work to ensure that everyone is treated fairly at every stage of production. 

In our opinion, it is nothing less than tragic that people buy products without considering how they have been produced. This is why we are so adamant in our decision to supply garments created in a humane way, such as those from Continental Clothing. 

Continental Clothing was founded in the UK over 25 years ago in 1998 and is a brand that is widely regarded as being a pioneer when it comes to designing, manufacturing and supplying ethical, sustainable and socially-responsible fashion items. The company has been a leading member of the Fair Wear Foundation since 2006 and its social compliance is regularly proven by thorough independent audits.

All of the garments from Continental Clothing are guaranteed to be created in healthy and safe working conditions in which nobody is discriminated against for any reason. The brand absolutely refuses to use forced labour or children in its production facilities. All workers are provided with fair labour contracts that are guaranteed to provide them with a living wage while simultaneously ensuring that they do not have to work excessively long hours to make a living. The employees are given the right to collective bargaining and complete freedom of association.
