BIBICO is an ethical clothing label. They make simple clothes with unique details in natural fabrics. Established in 2007, BIBICO offers customers concerned about the ethical and environmental aspects of fast fashion an alternative choice to the mainstream.
They believe in slow fashion. They design and manufacture two collections a year which are produced in small runs. The garments are classic, timeless and made with quality raw materials that you will want to wear again and again.
They spend many hours working collaboratively with their producers. With a designer’s eye and years of experience working for high street brands, they act as a bridge between traditional craftsmanship and an audience that values unique, quality goods produced both ethically and sustainably.
The materials are natural...They believe that nature knows best and so aim to use the best natural and sustainable materials. This is not only better for our skin and wellbeing but gives our clothes a much lower environmental impact. All the materials are exclusively designed, often hand-made, and carefully selected from artisan manufacturers in India, Nepal and Italy.
With continual collaboratation with these artisans they are always exploring ways to be more sustainable. They also take time to actively research more eco-friendly, low-impact forms of packaging and shipping.
They believe in fair trade. They treat everybody as they would expect to be treated and the relationships are built on trust, respect, equality and friendship.
Two of their main artisan manufacturers are members of the World Fair Trade Organisation. They work with women from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds, providing not only work for these women but also social support and childcare.
