3 Wise Men Suppliers

Our Suppliers

At 3 Wise Men we are committed to working with suppliers that do the right thing which is why we are so careful with who we choose to partner with. The bulk of our product is sourced from China with some production in Myanmar.

Fewer suppliers means that we deal directly and not through any third-party agents. Benefits? Relationships are stronger, and more transparent.

We are also working to improve the traceability of our products. We’ve started by working to provide information relating to our direct suppliers, but we also have an ongoing project to trace fabric sources back to mills and ultimately cotton producers.

Our Key Values

The suppliers that we work with share our key values around respect for workers and are aware of the human rights risks in their business. We have a code of conduct based on the internationally recognised Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI) code of conduct. Our suppliers are familiar with and already work to with their existing customer base.

Supplier performance against each of the key values is appraised through regular factory audits. Any areas for improvement and remedial action are discussed and followed up as part of our regular supplier visits.
