As an online retailer LYB do not necessarily have the stock levels required for commercial runs for printers like us.
However if you wish to have an indent order of apparel made up, Little Yellow Bird do this directly and you can contact them directly through their website littleyellowbird.co.nz
We recommend Joyya as a beyond Fair Trade Supplier.
2025 Update:
LYB have never featured in the Ethical Fashion Report (Baptist World Aid and Tearfund). As you will see below while the idea of the report it good, the reality isn’t as what it seems.
The report requires a lot of reporting that is prohibitive to smaller brands, it is also mired in controversy over the number of loopholes many larger brands are able to exploit to get better score than they deserve.
After the 2021 report three of the four (A+) highest Scoring Companies started a boycott of the Report.
These included Joyya, Etiko, Mighty Good and Outland Denim (the only A+ Recipients)
Etiko famously issued a statement which included these paragraphs:
Buried on page 12 of the 13-page ethical fashion guide, you’ll find the grading system shown in our header. It explains that a company getting a score of 50 out of 100 will receive an A grade. I’m an ex-high school teacher, and my students would have received anything but an A for a 50/100 score. And I believe most consumers would also expect an A grade brand to have done better than barely pass the halfway mark.”
“It’s this grading system that led Outland Denim’s founding CEO, James Bartle, to publicly state, “I believe this report is potentially one of the greatest setbacks to the ethical and environmental sustainability movements I’ve witnessed in the past 10 years.” And we agree. “
More important is the Fairtrade status of the company and it’s suppliers.
We still back AS Colour as a fantastic option for Organic Cotton Garments, however if Fairtrade is what you are wanting in a supplier it is Hard to beat Joyya as a recommendation.
Not only are they Fairtrade Certified, using only Fairtrade organic materials from certified and farm owned mills. They were started as a social enterprise, by Kiwis.
Originally started back in 2001 in Kolkata, India, with one ambitious goal: to spark opportunity where little is found until we see an end to the horrors of extreme poverty and human trafficking. This is the beginning of our new journey together.
Joyya actively hires victims of human trafficking and extreme poverty and in addition to standard Fairtrade practives seeks:
‣ Living wages for all employees
‣ A workweek with hours that are respectful of our employees family lives
‣ Professional development and management opportunities for all employees
‣ Access to retirement and health plans
‣ Health education and emotional support
‣ Interest-free loan program for paying down debt
‣ Literacy and money management classes
2023 Update:
Unfortunately as excited as we were to work with Little Yellow Bird for printing T-Shirts etc it hasn’t worked out.
As an online retailer LYB do not necessarily have the stock levels required for commercial runs for printers like us.
We whole heartedly recommend AS Colour for your organic t-shirt printing, they have fantastic stock levels and consistency and an ever growing Organic Range. Their Ethical Focus is always growing and their Partnership with Reemi is fantastic.
You can see their rating in the latest Ethical Fashion Report, and search other suppliers below.
