“Who made your
Clothes Ultra Tee?”

Green This Season MAGAZINE Spring 2014

We asked Angie Sam,
owner and designer of the
fabulous urban Ultra Tee collection.

All the manufacturing facilities have been
audited for social compliance and are
running active monitoring programmes
in accordance with standards advocated
by the International Labour Organisation
the Ethical Trading Initiative and other
international bodies. For me that is the
main reason why I have chosen this
manufacture partner because he cares
about the employees and assures a good
conditions of work, which is important
for me.
Some of the garments I produce are
100% recycled and some contain 60%
recycled organically grown cotton,
certified under the Organic Content
Standard by the Control Union
Certifications, licence CU 828402 and

40% post-consumer recycled polyester,
certified under the Global Recycle
Standard by the Control Union
Certifications, licence CU 828402.
For the beautiful printing I am working
with a small printing atelier in TouquetPlage (North of France). There are only
two employees and they work with a
small capacities. They support young
designers like me and care about our
environment. They use high-quality
equipment; use water-based inks with no
chemical products in it. Inks are tested
for harmful substances according to
Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and certified
by powerful organization Confidence In
Textiles. I’m proud to say that all my
products are printed there.
