A Unique & Trustworthy Process
Our fabrics are proudly sourced from Como, Italy, from suppliers and artisans who adhere to economically and environmentally sustainable practices, meeting HATHAWAY’s strong ethical standards. We invested time visiting factories and speaking with artisans to ensure every step of production prioritises sustainability, fair labor, and high-quality craftsmanship.
Sustainability and Sourcing Principles
We use 100% natural and biodegradable fibers in all our scarves, including GOTS + ICEA certified silk, ensuring organic production and environmentally responsible standards. All packaging and shipping materials are recyclable and designed for reuse.
Eco Printing
Our scarves are printed and finished in Como, Italy, in collaboration with skilled artisans. Reactive and disperse dyes are azo-free and non-toxic, ensuring both luxury and environmental responsibility. Every scarf reflects meticulous craftsmanship, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and quality.
Sustainable Production Practices
HATHAWAY scarves are produced in small batches to minimise overproduction. Pre-orders, bundled shipments, and local deliveries help reduce emissions. By sourcing directly from Como, Italy, we reduce transport miles and support local artisan communities. Seasonless designs ensure each scarf remains a long-lasting wardrobe piece, supporting slow fashion and thoughtful consumer choices.
Artisan & Human Focus
Every scarf represents the hands and skill of the people behind it—from Italian artisans in Como to local seamstresses and the freelance collaborators, mothers, and female founders we support. We ensure fair wages, reasonable working hours, and mentorship opportunities. Our approach fosters an ethical and inclusive community, valuing everyone involved in bringing a HATHAWAY scarf to life.
