The whomadeyourpants? story
whomadeyourpants? is about two things. It's about pants, gorgeous, not guilty, ethical pants. And it's about women. Amazing women who want work but who don't get many chances.
Here at whomadeyourpants? We think that every day should be a good pants day, and that there should be a little bit of something lovely under everyone's clothes, just for them. Underwear can make us feel beautiful, confident - even taller if you get the right bra size. We also think that it's not really on for anyone to be made to work in bad conditions just for a cheap pair of pants. How could that be right? Who could feel lovely in something made in a bad place?
So, we put these two things together and work with women here in the UK, women who have had very little opportunity, and we help them learn to make gorgeous pants, which you and we can wear, safe in the knowledge that they had a very happy start in life. We provide up front training in English if required, and then in sewing - every women who is accepted onto our course will go through an NVQ Level 2 in Manufacture of Sewn Products, and will be encouraged to train to be a team leader too. We hope that all jobs within the business can be filled by the women as they gain skills - if someone is interested in marketing, or finance, we'll arrange training.
All profits we make go back into the business - our costs aren't just about rent and fabric and wages, but about training and support and advice. We really do believe that pants can change the world - do you?
