Fashion Revolution Week 2026

From April 22 to 28, people from all over the world will be coming together for collective action - to demand a fair, safe, transparent, clean and accountable fashion industry.

Founded in the wake of the Rana Plaza disaster in 2013, Carry Somers and Orsola de Castro has grown Fashion Revolution to become the world's largest fashion activism movement - mobilising citizens, brand and policymakers through research, education and advocacy.

When choosing who we work with in our supply chain, it's never been a matter of picking the lowest bidder. We seek out like minded partners who share our ethos of manufacturing with respect for people and planet, and with whom we can establish an honest dialogue.

Our makers are super skilled and specialise in the production of underwear. Their experience brings so much value to our products.

We have been working with our production manager, Rajesh, since 2019. We have a relationship based on trust and a mutual desire to work ethically and to incorporate sustainability into all of our business practices.

To find a partnership in the manufacturing world that goes deeper than just dollar value is a rarity, and we are grateful. It makes NICO the brand that we are today - with a focus on beautiful products that are made with respect for the people we work with and the environment we work within.

For our fabric dyes, we work with an ethical supply chain in Tirupur. Our natural dyers are a small scale group of artisans. Our fabrics are also GOTS certified, providing guarantees of the fair and safe treatment of workers.

We want to promote a positive, viable alternative to the unfair and short-sighted practices that fast fashion has created. By partnering with responsible factories, we know we are helping to create safe and fair employment opportunities within the industry in India that is the livelihood of so many.
