Together with our sourcing partners TriStyle sourcing, we can ensure certified manufacturers who work under third partie accredited conditions. Our materials are certified organic cotton, mulesing free wool or recycled synthetics as indicated.

Working with experienced partners such as TriStyle Sourcing makes it possible to trace the production of the individual parts of the garment - a requirement for the majority of certifications.
They have a selected network of partners which is nurtured and audited reguarly.

Before commissioning our first collection, we demanded following criteria of us and our manufacturers: Quality of product, novelty, social responsibilty and sustainability.

In balancing out these factors, we found that, especially when it comes to knit, some of our Asian partners excelled. Insuring that all social and sustainable standards were met, we decided to produce a part of our collection overseas to give you, our costumers, the finest possible clothing.

ARTHELPS has proven their consistency over the last 7 years through various activities, locally as well as internationally. Independent, as well as national press have reported about their outstanding work and the effective results of their innovative approach.
