Manufacturing

CD Studio collaborates with certified and vetted partners that respect their environment,  employees, and crucially ensure all are paid a living wage. We produced our first round of clothing in Bangladesh, in a factory signed up to the Bangladesh Accord, an independent, legally binding agreement between brands and trade unions to work towards a safe and healthy garment and textile industry in Bangladesh. After considering our carbon footprint and desire to build a long-lasting and meaningful partnership with our makers, we have moved our production locally to Los Angeles. From May 2022, our apparel will be produced in two fully-vetted factories in downtown Los Angeles.

We never create things that we don't need. We use 3D sampling technology to create a zero-waste solution in the design process. CD Studio works with avatars and laser cutting machines which allows us to visualize designs without any need for physical materials completely. Some of the ethical and sustainable components that our manufacturing facilities comply with include:

Complying with relevant sustainability legislation in the areas where we operate
