A local community
100% Made in Italy clothing
Ethical production has been one of our fundamental values since the beginning and being able to support our local community and the small artisan factories in our area is one of our greatest satisfactions. Italy is a country full of passion and love and we wanted to be able to convey this energy through our products.
Ethical production at km70
A community based on friendship and respect
Every part of our production process takes place within a 70 km radius of our headquarters in Padua in small businesses, often family-run, where the work of every single person is valued and where craftsmanship is still considered art. We are always in close contact with our community and love working with people who have the same passion and creative spirit as us: it's never boring!
Our Made in Italy includes the entire value chain, from the yarn to the final product
It's difficult to realize how many steps and how many people are part of the creation of a single item of clothing. From the processing of the yarns to the dyeing, from the preparation of the models to the cutting of the fabrics: the assembly and tailoring of the garment is only a final phase of an integrated flow of creation.
Italian certifications, safety and quality
In addition to the ethical aspects, there is another reason why we have chosen to produce exclusively in Italy: it is a question of safety! With everything we do we want to create a feeling of well-being for everyone involved, from workers to our customers. Therefore, creating products that do not harm human health, safety and the environment is our number one priority and choosing only certified local businesses is the only way to ensure the highest production standards. Our fabrics are subjected to the strictest safety standards that only an Italian production can guarantee, including STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® which certifies the harmlessness of the dyes used for human health and the environment.
A sustainable choice
We wanted to find and create a network of people who shared our same values in every production area. The passion for Italian craftsmanship is what brought us together, but the love for the environment is what keeps us together. Every member of our value chain is committed to sustainable business practices and reducing their environmental impact
For example, the company that packages most of our products is self-sufficient from an energy point of view thanks to the use of photovoltaic panels. But even further down the supply chain we always choose suppliers who implement sustainable processes. The suppliers of our main fabrics are committed to reducing CO2 throughout the entire production process and have developed a closed system to recover and recycle the water used. The energy used in the factories also comes 100% from renewable sources and many have installed a system to save and reuse the energy used in the various processes. Another important criterion for CASAGiN is waste reduction. In fact, all fabric suppliers are committed to recycling their production waste.
Transparency
We wanted to make you understand what our price includes, which is also fair when compared to other brands. When you read the price of a product you have to think about the cost of the raw material and all the people who put their KNOW-HOW to create something unique with their own hands; it is important to reflect on the fact that they must be decently paid for their work.
