{"id":55760,"title":"Thumbs up for amazing quality","description":"Traceability is about more than knowing where clothes come from, it\u2019s about working with the people who make them to create lasting, positive change. At The Bridges Co-Lab, I partner with Teemill because they own their factories and visit every stage of production, from organic cotton to finished fabric. People like Shakti, who checks weave quality, are part of a team that\u2019s valued and supported. Together, we design low waste, improve quality and make products that are better for people and the planet.","content":"<p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/45kcb6prnr1bldsi8mu4rijjvu0j2tl5e79aifp9w2hwfc69.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"45kcb6prnr1bldsi8mu4rijjvu0j2tl5e79aifp9w2hwfc69.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/>Traceability isn't just about learning how clothes are made, it's about working with the people making them to improve things for the better. That might be working together to design out waste, or improve quality. Shakti here checks weave quality as part of his job at the start of the process where organic cotton is turned into fabric. Decisions made at our end about the products we design affect what he has to do each day. That\u2019s why I chose to work with Teemill to manufacture our products, because they actually own factories and go to the places where raw material is made and processed in order to improve them. It means our products come to you having been through the hands of people who we know are well looked after and part of one big team, working to make products you will love.<\/p>","urlTitle":"thumbs-up-for-amazing-quality","url":"\/blog\/thumbs-up-for-amazing-quality\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/thumbs-up-for-amazing-quality\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/thebridgescolab.com\/blog\/thumbs-up-for-amazing-quality\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1775336768,"updatedAt":1775337026,"publishedAt":1775337026,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":346327,"name":"The Bridges Co-Lab"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/jmuig9gjujv3i2aqhthr4kk3s6axegfuzl8ixxv9fmct0tqx.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/jmuig9gjujv3i2aqhthr4kk3s6axegfuzl8ixxv9fmct0tqx.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/jmuig9gjujv3i2aqhthr4kk3s6axegfuzl8ixxv9fmct0tqx.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"Traceability and Ethical Production with Teemill","metaDescription":"See how The Bridges Co-Lab and Teemill ensure traceable, ethical production by working directly with makers to improve quality and sustainability.","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":53910,"title":"Make It Merry: How to Create Your Own Personalised Christmas Jumper","url":"\/blog\/personalised-christmas-jumpers\/","urlTitle":"personalised-christmas-jumpers","division":346327,"description":"Design your own Christmas jumper with our free online tool! \ud83c\udf84 Create a unique, eco-friendly gift that\u2019s full of festive cheer and mindful creativity.","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/n4cql0tao5xyuwe04qarbdxyhrbdxzsiqejqrd81teosnqcf.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/n4cql0tao5xyuwe04qarbdxyhrbdxzsiqejqrd81teosnqcf.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":53593,"title":"How We\u2019re Helping Schools Celebrate Christmas with Creativity and Sustainability","url":"\/blog\/how-were-helping-schools-celebrate-christmas-with-creativity-and-sustainability\/","urlTitle":"how-were-helping-schools-celebrate-christmas-with-creativity-and-sustainability","division":346327,"description":"This Christmas, we\u2019re inviting schools to join us in celebrating creativity, community, and care for the planet.
