Our Reach
You'll find Cobalt Fashion's sales offices, design hubs, and production centres strategically located around the world.
Our Approach
We're all about working with speed. Cobalt Fashion's teams are digitalizing the supply chain through virtual sampling. Working in a co-creation process, we can help you digitally visualize styles with actual yarns and fits, rendering your designs to real-life models. Through this we cut development time down from weeks to hours, providing you with a greater variety of options at lower costs.
We're led by innovation. We partner with institutes and innovators to find the latest technologies that produce better materials and knitwear. Alongside this, our extensive trend and market intelligence services include retail reports, runway reviews, and data analytics.
Sustainability
Sustainability in all its forms is important to us. Our teams are involved in industry-wide collaboration efforts focused on addressing major challenges in the knitwear sector. But that's not all we do.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
We are well versed in incorporating sustainable yarns and recycled fibers in producing knitwear and garments for our clients. Our lifestyle startup brand, 22 Factor, is one of the perfect examples in demonstrating our commitment in using upcycled virgin yarn to create premium knitwear at a fraction of the price.
At the same time, we use an environmental assessment tool which compares the carbon footprint of raw materials and factories, enabling us to select suppliers that are working more efficiently for the planet. Reducing our own consumption of greenhouse gases and waste is something we take seriously.
SAFE AND FAIR WORKPLACES
All our suppliers must accept the minimum standards outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct
as a condition of doing business with us. The document outlines requirements and guidelines on how to maintain safe workplaces, respect fundamental rights, enable environmental resilience and operate with a high standard of business transparency and ethics.
At the same time, we are committed to eradicating modern slavery and ensuring responsible recruitment practices in our supply chain. We work with our suppliers and industry peers to create safe and fair workplaces in our supply chain. We acknowledge our responsibility to maintain a respectful workplace that is free of all forms of discrimination or harassment. Here you can read more about our Disclosure Statement on Modern Slavery.
OUR COMMUNITY
Since 2012 we've been a partner of Foster Pride in the US, who work to develop professional and life skills for foster children through art. Their HandMade program teaches teens design, marketing and interpersonal skills through creating and selling their own knit-craft products. We donate 500kgs of yarn annually, ensuring deadstock materials don't go to waste, encouraging upcycling of materials, and giving teens a productive goal!
PARTNERSHIPS
We are involved in a range of initiatives that bring our customers, industry partners and communities together to effect change in the industry we are in.
