Certifications, Labels and Sourcing Resources

Labels are only useful if you can check them. We keep working tools for verifying a certification number, spotting a scope certificate that expires mid-season, tracing a brand back to its cut-and-sew partner, and reading an impact report without taking it at face value.

Save them; they work as well in a supplier meeting as they do in a fitting room.
