How Seamless Source Helped Kinzie Quinn Turn Her Designs into Reality

“As a founder, finding the right supply chain was one of the most important decisions I had to make, as the new collection was complex and specialised. When I came across Seamless Source and went through their supply chain management process, I knew I had found a team I could trust. From the start, they were professional, communicative, and dedicated to quality. They understood my designs and helped bring them to life exactly as I envisioned. The final pieces were beautifully made, and the response from my customers has been incredible.”   — Kinzie McClintick, Founder — Kinzie Quinn is the founder of a bold womenswear brand known for strength, elegance, and professionalism. Her goal was to create standout pieces, especially blazers that help women feel confident whether they’re at work, attending events, or going about their day. By partnering closely with Seamless Source, Kinzie brought four key styles to life that truly reflect her brand’s focus on clean tailoring, attention to detail, and feminine strength. This collaboration combined her design vision with Seamless Source’s manufacturing expertise, ensuring the final products stayed true to her ideas while maintaining high quality and efficient production. Customer Background Kinzie comes from a background in corporate leadership, and her own experience shaped her understanding of what women truly need in their wardrobes. She launched her brand, Kinzie Quinn, to give women strong, elevated wardrobe pieces, particularly blazers, that go beyond just looking good. She wanted pieces that feel powerful when worn. Her specific requirements included: Clean, sharp tailoring with high-end construction A manufacturing partner that could understand her vision A transparent process from design to delivery The ability to maintain premium quality at manageable production volumes Ethical Supply chain with standards and certifications Seamless Source Solution When Kinzie approached us, we knew we had to deliver more than just manufacturing; we needed to provide precision, technical accuracy, and build trust. Blazers are complex to produce because they require careful construction both inside and out to look and fit perfectly. We focused on every detail that shapes a blazer’s fit, such as shaping the shoulders, setting the right sleeve angle, and choosing the correct interfacing and lining. These elements give the blazer a strong structure while keeping it comfortable to wear. We also selected high-quality fabrics that hold their shape well but still allow easy movement. Attention to detail was crucial, so we ensured consistent stitching, smooth lining, and hand-finished touches on lapels, collars, and buttons for a polished look. Throughout the entire process, Kinzie was able to track every step thanks to the Seamless Source platform. This transparency kept her informed and confident. We maintained close communication, regularly sharing updates, samples, and timelines, making sure she was involved as a creative partner every step of the way. Overcoming Challenges During Production Every new collection comes with its share of challenges, and Kinzie’s launch was no exception. From sourcing the right materials to aligning lead times and ensuring consistent quality, each stage required precision, flexibility, and teamwork. Below are key areas where we overcame hurdles to deliver a successful outcome, without compromise. Fabric  Like any new collection, there were challenges along the way, especially when working with tailored, structured pieces like blazers. One of the biggest hurdles was sourcing the perfect fabrics that combined durability with the right feel and drape Kinzie demanded. We also had to refine the fit through several rounds of sampling to achieve the balance between sharp tailoring and comfort. Lead time  Additionally, coordinating lead times between different suppliers while maintaining transparency could have complicated timelines. However, Seamless Source’s integrated supply chain platform and dedicated production management allowed us to stay ahead of potential delays, keep Kinzie fully informed, and adjust quickly to any issues. Ensuring Quality – A Proactive, End-to-End Approach At Seamless Source, we care about quality from the very beginning, not just at the end. For Kinzie Quinn’s blazer collection, we followed a clear step-by-step process to make sure every piece was made perfectly. Here’s how we did it: PP Sampling (Pre-Production Samples): Before production even began, we created samples and shared them with Kinzie to review. This helped us confirm all the details from fabric to stitching were exactly how she wanted them. First-Out Inspection: As soon as the first 10 pieces came off the production line, we carefully checked each one. Production only continued once all 10 passed the inspection, ensuring we were off to a solid, consistent start. Inline Inspection: While production was ongoing, our team kept a close eye on everything, the materials, the stitching, the fit, making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. This helped us catch and fix any issues right away. Pre-Final Inspection: Once about 70% of the order was complete, we did a more detailed check. This gave us time to make adjustments if anything wasn’t quite right, without delaying the overall timeline. Final Inspection: At the end, we inspected the full order to make sure every piece was up to standard. We offered either a 100% inspection or followed the AQL 2.5 quality standard, depending on what the client preferred. For Kinzie’s blazers, we did a full inspection to ensure everything was perfect. This proactive approach ensured that despite these challenges, the final products met Kinzie’s high standards without compromise, and the launch stayed on schedule. Success The result? Beautifully crafted styles are now featured in Kinzie’s official online store. Each piece embodies her bold, structured, and elegant aesthetic and has been positively received by customers seeking distinguished workwear. This achievement was made possible with Kinzie’s creative vision, combined with the expert support provided by Seamless Source. Leveraging our extensive manufacturing expertise and rigorous focus on technical precision, including tailored fit, construction quality, and durability, we ensured the blazers met the highest standards. Through the Seamless Source platform, Kinzie maintained full transparency and control over every stage of production, guaranteeing consistent quality from inception to completion. This collaborative approach enabled Kinzie to confidently transform her designs into finished products,

How Kynd Period Created a Revolutionary Leak-Proof Period Pant with Seamless Source

“Working with Seamless Source has been an incredibly smooth and professional experience from start to finish. The team was transparent throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and involved at every stage. They truly listened to our needs and brought our vision to life by creating a product that met all our specific requirements. We also appreciated how easy and efficient the collaboration was, communication was clear, timelines were met, and nothing ever felt complicated. We would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy partner in period wear manufacturing.” Natalie Lyall‑Grant and Shiza MalikCo-Founders of Kynd Period In today’s FemTech landscape, menstrual care products are evolving beyond basic functionality. Women are demanding comfort, style, and reliability, and Kynd is one of the few brands truly listening. Kynd is more than just a period wear brand. It is a forward thinking brand committed to creating sustainable, comfortable, and inclusive menstrual care products. What makes Kynd truly special is that for every pair of period underwear sold, another is donated to an asylum seeker, refugee, or someone in need in the UK.  Kynd’s Mission “ To reduce plastic waste and ensure access to sustainable, ethical, and dignified menstrual products that are non-toxic, super comfortable, and leakproof for everyone.” Understanding the Challenges Faced by Kynd to find the solution Every product development journey carries its own set of hurdles. For Kynd Period, co-founders Shiza & Natalie faced a unique mix of technical and operational challenges in their mission to create truly ethical, high performance period underwear.  One major concern was the bulkiness of conventional products, many prioritise absorbency but compromise comfort, leaving wearers feeling heavy and restricted. Kynd was determined to change that by developing a sleeker, slimmer profile that retained high absorbency, ensuring both comfort and functionality. Leakage was one of the most critical concerns Kynd set out to solve. Traditional period underwear often failed to offer full protection, leading to leaks and causing stress for users during everyday activities. Kynd knew that for Kynd to truly make a difference, the product needed to offer dependable, high-performance absorbency without fail. That’s why the team focused on sourcing reliable, high-quality absorbent materials and implementing strict quality controls to ensure consistent performance with every wear. However, performance alone wasn’t enough. Kynd is committed to eliminating all chemical additives ensuring the final product. Operationally, one of the most pressing challenges was the lack of transparency in the industry. From sourcing to manufacturing, many brands fall short in offering traceability, leaving customers in the dark. Kynd set out to change this by working only with certified factories and materials, ensuring ethical labour practices and fair working conditions across its supply chain. The brand also faced the challenge of inconsistent product quality and fit, often caused by unreliable manufacturing standards. By choosing partners with third-party certifications, Kynd ensured not only quality control but also a strong ethical backbone. They were committed not only to innovation but to creating a product and process that their customers could trust completely. Seamless Source’s Tailored Solutions to Kynd At Seamless Source, we understood Kynd’s priorities right away because they align with our own. Our team took a personalised approach, working closely with Kynd to engineer a solution that was technically advanced, ethically made, and consumer-safe.  We’re happy to be the trusted production partner supporting Kynd in turning their innovative period wear ideas into real products. Using our expertise and skills, we’ve helped every step of the way by: Material: Finding safe, sustainable, and chemical-free fabrics Supply Chain: Making sure there is full transparency and working only with ethical, certified suppliers. Technology: Using smart tools to make product development and approvals easier. Construction: Building underwear that fits well, feels comfortable, and protects against leaks. Material When sourcing materials, we prioritise chemical safety and sustainable manufacturing practices. Since period underwear is a hygiene product, we place extra importance on selecting skin-safe, non-toxic fabrics that meet international quality standards. For this reason, we consider OEKO-TEX®-certified and PFAS-free fabrics in our production process. Supply chain We focused heavily on transparency. Through our Seamless Source platform, we connected Kynd directly with our certified suppliers, who offer tax benefits through the DCTS scheme and provide faster lead times. This allowed Kynd to communicate clearly with suppliers, understand their capabilities, and feel fully in control of the process. Kynd could trace the product journey from fabric sourcing to final production, and we made sure that everything aligned with Kynd’s expectations. Beyond product engineering, Kynd also cared deeply about ethical labour practices, and we delivered on that front by producing their product in our manufacturing units based in Sri Lanka. These units follow strict standards around fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental compliance. Technology We introduced ultrasonic bonding technology. This technique replaces traditional stitching with heat-sealed seams, which not only reduces bulk but also eliminates leak points. It makes the final product smoother, lighter, and far more comfortable to wear, especially for longer hours.   Construction We also engineered a gusset with four specialised layers, designed to maximise absorption and comfort, tailored precisely for the target users. 1. Wicking Layer This top layer is designed to quickly draw moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable. It helps reduce the feeling of wetness and irritation. 2. Absorbent Layer Located beneath the wicking layer, this layer traps and holds fluid effectively. It’s engineered to provide high absorbency and eliminate leakage by locking in moisture. 3. Leak-Proof Layer This waterproof barrier prevents any liquid from seeping through to clothing. It adds a crucial level of protection and peace of mind. 4. Breathable Outer Layer The final outer layer allows airflow while maintaining protection. It ensures breathability to keep the product comfortable for all-day wear, preventing heat and moisture buildup. Results – Achieving Success Together Product success In the end, through close collaboration with our certified supplier and dedicated FemTech team, we successfully delivered a high-quality product tailored to Kynd’s vision. We’re incredibly proud

With meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to excellence, our collaboration ensured that Soul Cap’s swimwear met the highest standards of durability, functionality, and style.” – SOUL CAP is an innovative swimwear brand which has the empowering mission to make swimming more inclusive and accessible for all; specialising in high-quality, practical swim caps and swimwear. After the success of SOUL CAP skin-friendly swim caps, which are designed for a ‘snug fit’ and a ‘tight seal’ to protect all hair types – including short-straight to long-curly, light and fine to beautiful voluminous afro – from water. The brand now introduces their own swimwear collection for all ages and all genders! Loved by swimmers around the world (in over 50 countries!) – SOUL CAP’s swimming products are even now approved to be used in top-level competitions. With strong and reliable durability for tough conditions to suit the serious athlete and Olympic contenders; as well as modern and stylish for the casual swimmer – there’s an item for everyone. It’s inevitable the brand secured a successful collaboration with Adidas. Through working with Seamless Source, SOUL CAP are achieving the high-quality swim pieces that they had so desired. Enabling the brand to move forward into the swimwear and water sports market, and to continue breaking down barriers. The foundations of SOUL CAP Michael Charles Chapman and Tokunbo Ahmed are the founders of SOUL CAP and have been best friends for 20 years. They recall swimming as “not a sport that’s open to everyone.” After learning to swim as adults and identified a real issue in the swim world. They didn’t feel that children were receiving the support they needed. Including viewing a number of athletes failing to see a path to success; and knowing that thousands of swimmers had no access to swimwear that was suitable for them.  It is these problems that prompted them to find the solution in creating inclusive swimwear for the sport they now love.  “Swim For All” By being not just a brand, but a movement. SOUL CAP are proud to champion ‘swim for all’ as their key purpose. Creating swim to be more accessible for all genders and all hair types that goes even beyond just practicality; they aim to create an aquatic space for anyone and everyone who wants to take part.  Swimming is more than a sport and a leisure activity – it’s a life saving skill. So it’s important for the black community to feel comfortable in the water, and SOUL CAP are on a mission to break down the obstacles that hinders confidence through their products and Swim Proud Fund. It is through hard work that the brand envisioned and perfected the swim caps to make their dreams a reality. Now with their new swimwear designs finalised for the next stage of their business, they just needed the right materials to achieve their desired quality to match up with their swim cap specifications.  How Seamless Source helped SOUL CAP approached Seamless Source with their full product collection but stressed that they were not happy with its finish and wanted better high-end quality pieces to put out into the market.  After initial meetings to discuss the exact needs and plans, our industry expert team conducted a full analysis of the brand’s swimwear collection. They understood exactly what was required and swiftly mapped out an efficient supply chain strategy on the Seamless Source platform, which the SOUL CAP team could easily keep track of throughout the process.  With the designing stage completed prior to joining our services, we moved straight into the fabric sampling and sourcing stage – saving the brand time and cost by eliminating the need to redesign.  Out of our extensive list of manufacturing partners, SOUL CAP trusted us to choose the most suitable supplier who could elevate the quality of their products to the best standard – to which we delivered. Our operations team assigned a top fabric supplier who matched the brands requirements and provided samples which were deemed suitable and high-quality for the swimwear caps. 78% recycled polyamide and 22% Elastane knitted fabric were blended for the main fabric, and 80% recycled polyester combined with 20% Spandex knitted fabric was used for the lining material – as this would give excellent performance in water. Then once the product sample developments were also approved – bulk production could commence! As part of our services, the brand is using our digital product passport – 360 Trace – an added benefit through sourcing with us. This fully tracks the products’ supply chain production and connects the product with recycling and circularity options. Allowing SOUL CAP the much needed transparency for their customers to view at will.  Success SOUL CAP were extremely pleased with the results as we delivered exactly what we had promised. Water performance-led, high-quality strong and reliable swimwear – for the toughest water sports conditions.  These innovations brought by SOUL CAP allow swimming to be inclusive and we are proud to be the core part of their sourcing journey.

Meeting Munãgiso’s requirements for durability and sustainability, Seamless Source’s support is propelling the brand toward making a positive impact on young girls’ lives and addressing environmental sustainability and period poverty.” – The revolutionary brand, Munãgiso, is giving confidence to young girls during their periods with their specialised eco-friendly sanitary pants!  Designed to keep dry and leak-free for up to 12 hours of protection, these breathable pants are not only comfortable but also eliminate odour. They are ultra-absorbent (absorbing up to 30ml of liquid using 3D technology), functional, and reusable.

Through working with Seamless Source, Munãgiso pants are crafted to be chemical-free and made with 100% Organic Cotton – so they can provide a more sustainable solution and fulfil their visions. The story of Munãgiso Through growing up with a persistent fear of leaky periods into adulthood, Yves Boothe was determined to find a solution to help her daughter and other girls live with confidence during their menstrual cycles.  So after vigorous research of period management, trialling materials and experimenting fits and styling – Munãgiso was born!  “I like to think of our pants as a superhero cape for girls during that time of the month, offering protection, privacy and control. No more leaks… And no more embarrassment. Just confidence and empowerment everyday of the month.” – Yves Boothe Munãgiso’s mission They’re not just a product; they’re a movement wanting to uplift and empower. Munãgiso leads the charge and holds the belief that every girl can confidently navigate her period without stress and without worrying about leaks. Periods and puberty should never affect potential.  As well as being kind to the environment, the brand is waging a war on period poverty. A percentage of their sales proceeds is contributed towards schools worldwide, ensuring that menstruation does not become an obstacle preventing girls from attending education. With Munãgiso’s vision set to provide girls a healthy, safe and secure alternative for their periods, waving goodbye to those uncomfortable and unreliable products, they just needed the best supply chain and advice to bring their ideas to life.  How Seamless Source helped As we, Seamless Source, have a substantial list of global supply chain partners, coupled with a team possessing extensive industry knowledge and a growing portfolio of innovative products and client successes. Munãgiso had full confidence in our services to develop their concepts, launch production, and bring their brand into the marketplace. It is through initial meetings and conversations where our expert operations team got to understand their exact needs and promptly formulated a clear supply chain strategy that best suited the brand.  Ensuring Munãgiso had complete visibility of the project, our Seamless Source platform possesses an all-in-one order management system which is super user-friendly and easy to follow for production updates. It is also through our platform where Munãgiso could keep close communications for our support and contact with the assigned suppliers.  The next step was to finalise the product concepts. Six styles were decided on: one “Regular” brief, an “All Day” brief, and a “Bikini” style brief as three plain styles. Additionally, these same styles were chosen again for a “Zipper” range, featuring a discreet zipped pouch to hold a spare period tampon or towel. In the process of sourcing fabric, prioritising comfort and practicality was key. The fabric had to be durable for effective moisture absorption, aligning with the brand’s commitment to sustainability. As a result, a high-quality blend of 95% Organic Cotton and 5% Elastane was chosen for the final composition, all in the colour black. With all the concepts and fabric finalised, it was now time for the crucial part – sampling. Munãgiso opted for physical samples of all their styles so that they could be tested for their intended function.  The results were extremely positive, leading to the approval for bulk production to proceed in the size range: 2XS to XL.  Success Seamless Source are proud to have helped Munãgiso create their range of amazing reusable period pants to such a high-quality standard. These products inspire to promote confidence in young women by being super comfortable, dry and leak-free every time they’re on their menstrual cycle. So they can live normally while at school, playing sports, sleepovers, and doing anything else they love. It’s revolutionary and sustainable!  It’s a pleasure working with Yves and her brand, and guiding them through the entire process has been a joy. We’re thrilled to continue our support and assist in scaling up the business for new growth.

Introducing Our Seamless Source Product Relationship Management (PRM) Platform

You spoke, and we listened… Introducing the Seamless Source Product Relationship Management Platform (PRM). The NEW innovation designed to seamlessly connect brands, supply chains, consumers, and recyclers – created by us. Our technology is here to empower your business to establish a meaningful connection with your product throughout its entire lifecycle.  We heard the industry, we saw the problems and we found the solution. It’s time to discover the journey of every product, digitally. Since 2019, our business has set out to change the fashion industry for the better. Chathura Sudharshan, CEO & founder of Seamless Source, knows too well from his experience in fashion designing of the enormous problems with pollution generated by fashion. £5 billion – yes 5 billion pounds worth of textile waste is found to go into landfill each and every year (BBC Earth). To many, this is unacceptable. We knew both the industry and consumer wanted to do better; and so we identified 3 specific problems that prevented this change from happening. First we realised that the supply chains are far too complex; with a multitude of suppliers, manual data collection and management pose a challenge, as well as having no practical product tracking solution for high volume sourcing. Secondly, there is no common technology to ensure supply chain connectivity. Then thirdly, circularity is not practical at scale; with disconnected value chain partners, lack of product composition data preventing large-scale recycling, and lack of accountability. With no such technology established to improve circularity, 5 billion pounds worth of textiles is lost to landfill. This drive to led us to develop the Product Relationship Management (PRM) platform as the one and only solution to connect brands, supply chains, consumers, and recyclers all in one place – seamlessly. The PRM keeps the product at the centre and helps it on a circular journey. With our existing sourcing technology already at play, the platform combines automated multichannel sourcing with an integrated order management tool, enabling fashion brands to create efficient, global, and responsible supply chains. Our product offers many benefits for our customers. Including transparency for the supply chain, compliance with legal requirements, reliability, efficient and cost-effective order management, reduced risks, simplified communication, continuous updates, and a team that supports you. With PRM it provides the solution to: Make Value Chains Transparent – Our system connects and visually maps a product’s journey, encompassing design, delivery, and recycling. It seamlessly integrates with suppliers’ existing systems, aiding them in bridging data gaps. Issue Digital Product Passports – Each product is affixed with a QR code or RFID tag, generating a digital twin. When scanned by value chain partners, it offers a user-friendly visual history of previously gathered data. This opens a whole new avenue for brands to gain engagement with their customers. Automate Compliance Reporting – Suppliers and brands can swiftly produce required documents related to each product, significantly reducing the time and effort required for manual data collection and validation. Enable Circularity – Providing resellers, repairers, and recyclers with easy access to product data to support their operations, while connecting or guiding consumers to these service providers. Automated supply chain mapping harnesses all the data from different systems across the supply chain and helps to generate reports such as compliance reports, ESU reports, and all the relevant border control reports. All this data will be open to the recyclers, repairers and resellers where it can take fashion waste on a circular journey, and prevent £5 billion worth of products from going to landfill again. Plus our product is proven, so far we have traced more than 5,000 products across 20 styles and have happy clients with fully developed technology! Our PRM (Product Relationship Management) platform is here to change the fashion industry for a more sustainable and circular future. It’s time to discover the journey of every product, digitally – today. ——– Want to know more? Check out our Traceability page or get in touch with any questions!

Aiming to save you time and money, the brand puts forward a unique line of products – including ‘The Everyday DUSANNA’, ‘More Clutch’, and ‘DUSANNA Organisers’ – these have sections and zip compartments for everything you could possess. Allowing you to find your everyday items easily and eliminate frantic rummaging (we all know the struggle) so you can spend more time doing the things that are important. Through working with Seamless Source, DUSANNA realised their full potential and capabilities as we helped to create high quality products to exactly how they envisioned; while reinforcing the brand’s ethical and sustainable standards.  The foundations of DUSANNA DUSANNA began when Mikayla found a huge gap in the bag market. Purposeful, durable and useful bags and accessories were severely lacking, and so she targeted this need for better products. Mikayla’s vision is to create bags and accessories, for people of all ages, which are durable with enough sections and zipped compartments for practicality – especially suiting the needs of the seasoned traveller or occasional tourist. While setting the brand’s values for good quality products which are made ethically and sustainably, reducing waste for consumers. A sustainable future  DUSANNA believes that we all have a responsibility to protect our world, and to ensure we make a sustainable future for the next generations to come. That’s why in all aspects of the businesses operations, from the supply chain, to the shipping processes and sustainable packaging, they’re proud to take considered measures for the environment. With their ethical and sustainable values set, the brand desired ethically sourced and manufactured vegan material for their products. As well as reduced waste consumption in the supply chain wherever possible.  So with their product range imagined, DUSANNA just needed to find the right manufacturers to bring their bags and accessories to life. How Seamless Source took care of DUSANNA DUSANNA came to Seamless Source knowing we have an extensive list of global suppliers and trusted us to pair the brand up with manufacturers that could supply ethically and sustainably made products. As the brand is based in Australia, it is often difficult and expensive logistically to visit overseas manufacturers.  After speaking with our industry expert team, we understood everything that was required and the complexity level in creating their desired product range. With an efficient supply chain strategy put in place, which could be easily followed via the Seamless Source platform, the production journey could commence.  The first step was to help finalise their designs before moving onto the sourcing of materials. The material needed was vegan leather and this has special requirements which our selected supplier was able to fulfil. This had to be high quality, durable and sustainable in order to fit the brief.  Once happy with the final choice of materials, it was time for the sampling stage. During this period, several changes were made to improve the products before bulk production was approved to begin! Our operations team had found the perfect production source to match DUSANNAs values, proving she was right to trust Seamless Source. We chose a good quality Artisan workshop in Sri Lanka that meets all the ethical requirements to create the products; and these committed Artisan workers are highly skilled in their craft. DUSANNAs bags are all made partly by hand, making them carefully curated and unique items.  Success This production journey with Seamless Source presented Mikayla with the perfect bags and accessories that she had dreamt of. We successfully created a variety of high quality vegan leather styles, which were carefully curated with durability, practicality and sustainability in mind – and her customers love them! These unique products elevate above the rest in the bag market, and we’re really excited to support DUSANNAs development and watch the brand scale-up to its greatest potential.  You can check out DUSANNA’s chic bags and accessories line here: https://www.dusanna.com.au/ See more Seamless Source Successes here.

New EU Rules for Product Sustainability & How You Can Comply

The European Parliament supports new rules in favour of sustainable, durable products and eliminates greenwashing. In early May, members of the European Parliament (MEPs) approved the draft legislation which puts an end to misleading claims and advances product durability and labelling. With 551 votes, this won the majority in favour of the proposal for a “new directive on empowering consumers for the green transition” (www.europarl.europa.eu, 2023). This has the intention to prompt companies into giving more sustainable and durable products on the market, as well as to help consumers choose environmentally friendly goods. Through this proposal, misleading advertisements will be banned; such as false claims for the product as a whole if only part of it is true, as well as implying how long it will last and whether it can be used at a certain level of intensity. General environmental claims like “eco”, “natural”, “biodegradable” or “environmentally friendly” are to be disallowed if not provided with evidence. With environmental claims based solely on carbon offsetting schemes also to be banned.  The European Parliament wants to utilise sustainability labels based on official certification schemes or established by public authorities to simplify product information. As well as to make products endure for longer; with a new guarantee label to help consumers choose lasting and repairable products, and to also encourage businesses to increase their focus on durability.  These new rules are in aid of a circular economy package, including the eco design regulation, construction products regulation and an ‘own initiative report’ on the EU strategy for sustainable and circular textiles.  (www.europarl.europa.eu, 2023) The French AGEC & Decree No. 2022-748 – What this means for the fashion industry This follows after France introduced new laws for products within their own markets. First in 2020, the anti-waste law for a circular economy (AGEC) was passed, and this aims to change the production and consumption model in order to reduce waste and preserve natural resources, biodiversity and the climate. (Ministères Écologie Énergie Territoires, 2023) Most recently, in April 2022, the French Government added further legislation – the Decree No. 2022-748. These legislations call for the fashion industry and fashion brands to inform consumers on where the main manufacturing steps in their products’ supply chain took place geographically; with 1. Weaving, 2. Dyeing and Printing, 3. The Confection; and for footwear: 1. Stitching, 2. Editing, 3. The Finish. As well as to inform on the products’ environmental qualities. This transparency enables better management of textile and packaging waste, and the ability to sell in the French market. So far it is implemented for companies with a turnover above €50m from January 2023, and will be phased in for smaller companies during 2024 and 2025. (Gouv.fr, 2023) Complying these new regulations with DDPs From 2025 the EU could be bringing in similar traceability laws for Digital Product Passports (DPPs) on garments, coinciding with their “Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition” directive proposal and Green Claims Directive.  The information provided with DDPs, e.g. composition, disassembling possibilities, and recyclable or disposable components, can enable the upscaling of circular economy strategies such as predictive maintenance, repair, remanufacturing and recycling.  It also informs consumers and other stakeholders of the sustainability characteristics of products and materials. This will provide consumers and manufacturers to make better informed and sustainable choices by taking their environmental impact into consideration. (Digital Product Passport, 2022) How Seamless Source can help with 360 Trace Along with our award winning service, we provide 360 Trace – the compliant digital product passport – to lead our clients into achieving a better fashion supply chain through transparency and circularity. 360 Trace provides the transparency needed to fully comply with the supply chain laws as well as encourage a circular economy. With every product created with us via our platform – a digital product passport is automatically generated.  The complete supply chain of any product can be fully traced from source through to logistics, all in one place, even its circular journey to the recycling. This includes the geographic locations (country and region) of where every step took place, and the certifications can also be traced at key points in the production to verify working practices and sustainability claims.  View accurate Fabric Composition details to the percentage, as well as Care Instructions to increase longevity, including Sustainability & Circularity to find out where to sustainably dispose of the products for a circular journey.  The product’s supply chain story can be shared effectively with the generated QR code; printing this onto hang tags, printing it as a fabric label or directly to the product, and also embedding the QR code to e-commerce stores – for anyone to see. So in a nutshell Within the next few years it will be important for fashion brands to conform with these laws and retain the ability to sell in global markets. By providing transparency and traceability of the supply chain, they’ll also meet the demands of growing conscious consumers and increased brand values.  Want to know more about 360 Trace?
