Being open, honest and transparent is super important to the team at STOKEDNZ.

Whilst we aren't perfect, we are trying our best to operate an ethical business that considers the impact of our operations on both people and the environment.

WE WANT TO KNOW WHO MAKES OUR TOWELIES

Our Towelies are made in Turkey. Every step from the Cotton being grown through to the finished Towelies you see on our website! I (Debs) and Mr STOKEDNZ (Gary) have personally been over to the factory, met the humans making our Towelies, hugged it out with them (well I did, Gary isn't much of a hugger), taken them gifts, yarned to them about life, actually seen with my own eyeballs their working conditions and shared many cups of tea, as this stuff is important to us!

Our factory also:

• Is fully compliant with Turkish Laws and tax regulations
• Pay company and employee taxes
• Pays annual leave and over time
• Does not exploit children!
• Treats all employees with respect and dignity

The humans making our Hooded Towel Ponchos are a crucial part of our business,  because happy staff make epic quality Towelies, right?

NEW ZEALAND DESIGNED

Whilst NZ made would be rad, you can't grow Turkish Cotton in New Zealand, obviously. And honestly we love the two families we work with in Turkey. Looming Turkish Cotton is a skill that has been passed down for generations and we are stoked we get to be a part of that.

OUR COTTON

All of our cotton has the Oeko-Tex Certification ( a global standard), meaning the textiles and fabrics are free of harmful chemicals and safe for human use.
