TRANSPARENCY
One of the biggest challenges regarding responsibility is for consumers to navigate and understand information about what they are purchasing.
OUR MATERIALS
We are constantly exploring new materials and treatments that are both durable and responsible. In the design process, we are trying to weigh both our wishes for giving you functional and fashionable bags while being as kind to the Earth as possible.
Our recycled materials are GRS certified
The production of our recycled materials is carried out by suppliers who are GRS certified.

DESIGN PROCESS
When developing new products we keep our compass of circularity in mind which urges us to consider features and ideas that support longevity, durability and responsible material sourcing. We have a list of criteria when developing a new bag concept that help us steer in the right direction.
PRODUCTION PARTNERS
To increase our level of transparency we have mapped our production partners and collected all of their audit and certification documents. This helps us be more transparent towards our customers and collaboration partners, as well as optimize our sourcing strategy understanding where there is space for improvement.
The Studio Drops, Spread Love Collection, Street Collection, and Sidewalk Collection are made by ASG Global, one of the world's leading bag manufacturers. Located in Long An province southwest of Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam.
ASG is regularly audited by the Fair Wear Foundation, and has ISO 9001:2015 certification.
Fair Wear Foundation is an independent organization working to improve working conditions in factories in the fashion industry.
The basis for the collaboration is the Code of Labor Practices, which is written on the basis of eight labor market standards from the ILO (International Labor Organization) conventions and the UN Human Rights Convention.
To increase our level of transparency we have mapped our production partners and collected all of their audit and certification documents. This helps us be more transparent towards our customers and collaboration partners, as well as optimize our sourcing strategy understanding where there is space for improvement.
This Code of Conduct describes the ethics that Kintobe wishes to promote. We wish to ensure that our products are produced under legal, safe, and responsible conditions of all employees in our supply chain.
Hence, the Code of Conduct applies to every level of our supply chain from extraction to factory, including all subcontractors and sub-suppliers. We expect that our suppliers will request their supply chain to comply with these requirements and transparency.
