CARPASUS

CARPASUS is a menswear brand based in St. Gallen, Switzerland. It began with shirts and now also makes T-shirts, polo shirts, overshirts, trousers, knitwear and accessories, with a focus on timeless, durable design. The founder, René, started the company because he struggled to find shirts that were both eco-friendly and stylish. Its collections rely on natural fibres, namely organic cotton, linen and wool, along with recycled cotton, and the brand states that it uses no synthetic fibres. It also has an edition made from Bananatex, a fabric based on abaca banana plant fibre. Most fabrics and garments are made in northern Portugal, with production partners in Portugal and Bosnia, which keeps transport distances short. Good On You rates CARPASUS Good overall: Great for planet, It's a Start for people and Good for animals. It notes action on transport emissions, reusable packaging, non-mulesed wool and partial SA8000 certification. However, it found no evidence of a Code of Conduct or of living wages being paid.
