Our logistics partners
Based on our calculations, we estimate that our garments travel nearly 24,000km to get from the cotton fields in India and Turkey, to our partner factories in Bangladesh and China, and finally to our warehouses in Europe. Most of this transport is by sea and road. In 2022, we started to expand our European logistics network to further improve our service level while also keeping our carbon footprint in mind.
We now have three warehouse locations in Europe:
Germany
With its central location, Germany is the ideal choice for a European Distribution Center (EDC). Our German warehouse is managed by DSV and has a DGNB Gold sustainability rating. Located in Duisburg, it can be reached by barge from the port of Antwerp, with a rail connection foreseen by the end of 2023. This new EDC allows us to offer next-day delivery in Germany and reinforce our service to Belgium and the Netherlands, while at the same time minimising our carbon footprint.
Belgium
Our warehouse in Antwerp is managed by Katoen Natie (KTN) which has taken impressive measures to become more sustainable. Among other initiatives, they rely on renewable energy produced by local turbines, use LED lighting, and 90% of their sourced cardboard comes from fully recycled materials.
United Kingdom
Opened following Brexit, our UK warehouse receives container shipments directly from our partner factories, eliminating the need to pass through our continental European hubs. This streamlines transport, allowing us to reduce emissions and offer next-day delivery to our UK customers.
