Creating A Narrative of Transparency

We're not just making school uniforms. We're stitching a story of transparency and responsibility, woven through every thread of our supply chain. We're well aware of the convoluted paths and ethical challenges lurking behind the fashion industry's glossy exterior, and we're forging a different route. One of honesty, clarity, and a dedication to both environmental and human well-being.

Our Stance on Fashion and Its Global Supply Chains

Let's address the elephant in the room - the school uniform industry isn't the shining beacon of ethical practices. With its expansive global supply chains, it's often shrouded in mystery, leaving human rights and environmental responsibility as afterthoughts. We at Kapes aim to challenge this status quo. We believe in doing business differently, prioritising transparency, sustainability, and fairness in every stitch of our uniforms.

Mapping the Journey - Our Commitment to Transparency

With Kapes, the journey of your uniform doesn't have to be a mystery. We've mapped out our entire supply chain, so you know exactly how your uniform came to be. And we've made it as easy as scanning a QR code found in the label of each product. This level of transparency allows us to ensure every step of the production process aligns with our ethical and environmental standards.

A Look Inside Our Process

Our commitment to transparency doesn’t stop with words. We’re visually illustrating it. The QR code on each of our product labels lets you trace your garment's journey - from its origin to its arrival at our warehouses. It provides an exact location of our manufacturers, helping you and students to connect the dots of our supply chain.

At Kapes, we're turning the page on opaque supply chains and careless manufacturing. We're weaving a narrative of change, transparency and responsibility. Through our sustainable practices, we're crafting a future where school uniforms are not just worn, but are part of an inspiring story of conscious crafting.
