Fashion Starts with Fairness: Supporting African Farmers at the Source

MAY 14, 2025

Before the sketches, before the fabric, before the final stitch. Fashion begins with people.

At 919 Vrede, we believe fairness at the source is the foundation of true sustainability. That means valuing the farmers who grow our cotton, the hands that harvest natural dyes, and the communities that carry generational knowledge forward.

Through long-term partnerships and initiatives like our Seed to Stitch Fellowship, we’re investing in cultural preservation, regenerative practices, and a more equitable fashion system from the ground up.

Because without fairness at the start, fashion loses its integrity.

With trust,
919 Vrede
