Let’s face it — the textile industry carries its share of baggage. Audits and certifications play their role in pushing things in the right direction. But in our experience, nothing ensures integrity like long-term, hands-on partnerships. That’s why we work exclusively with family-owned manufacturers in Eastern Europe and Turkey — companies we’ve known personally for years. It’s how we ensure that every step of the process meets our standards, without compromise.
And if you’d like to see for yourself? Our doors are always open!
You’re here, reading this, and probably thinking: “Nice words. But do these guys actually walk the talk?” What really goes down at Handon? Are the designs just trendy fluff? Are we chasing profits at all costs? Do we really care where and how our stuff is made? And more importantly — why should you trust us?
Here’s the deal: If we gave you the classic “Don’t worry, everything’s fine!” spiel — would you actually buy it? Didn’t think so. That kind of talk is everywhere. And frankly, it’s boring. We take a different route. We ask real questions. We visit every factory ourselves. We check: Who’s running it? What’s the vibe on site? Are the people treated right? Paid fairly? Is the air breathable? Are the conditions decent — not just “technically legal,” but actually human? We’ve seen the good, the bad, and the “oh-hell-no.”
Like that one time we rolled up for an inspection and the exec parking lot looked like a luxury car showroom. Yeah… that’s usually not a great sign.
So here’s our litmus test:
Would we take a customer on a spontaneous tour of that factory — no prep, no filter? Would we proudly say, “Yep, we stand by this”? If the answer isn’t a clear yes — we walk away.
Because after 30+ years in the textile game, we’ve learned something simple. No certificate, no fancy label, no industry buzzword can replace it.
