'Honest By' Website is Transparent About Manufacturing Costs
Katherinev123 — February 3, 2012 — Eco
The 'Honest By' website is an online boutique launched by Bruno Pieters, who used to be the designer at Hugo Boss, that ensures all manufacturing and production costs are transparent.
Typically, costs associated with the manufacture of clothing can obscure and hidden, so Pieters set out to offer fashion for men and women from which production costs are unambiguous. The 'Honest By' website offers customers a complete break-down of the costs associated with each item of clothing -- for example, the cost of materials like fabric and buttons -- and even displays the garments' markup prices. Customers can also find out exactly where and by whom the items are made.
The first fashion collection for the 'Honest By' website has been designed by Pieters himself. Pieters hopes to expand the site's offerings in the near future to include collections by guest designers.
