ABOUT US
Clothing That Feels Good, Inside and Out
At Facivo, we believe in a better way to do fashion. We're a natural fabrics clothing brand dedicated to offering high-quality, sustainable, and ethically made products that connect you to what truly matters. We're here to offer an alternative to fast fashion, providing clothing that not only feels great to wear but also feels good to purchase, knowing you're supporting a brand that cares.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide a sustainable and humanitarian option for clothing at an affordable price. We want to revolutionize the clothing industry by proving that quality, ethics, and affordability can coexist.
Why Facivo? The Opportunity for Change
The fashion industry today is riddled with challenges: over-manufacturing, exorbitant costs, and unsustainable business practices. These issues harm our planet and the people who make our clothes.
- Environmental Impact: Current production methods deplete vital resources. Growing conventional cotton uses excessive amounts of water, and creating polyester relies heavily on oil. We'll always need clothes, so we need production methods that ensure enough water and land to support both people and nature. This also means producing only what's necessary, avoiding wasteful overstock.
- Humanitarian Concerns: The traditional 40-hour work week and vast pay discrepancies within companies are not sustainable for human well-being. We aim to set a new standard where pay is more equitably distributed, recognizing that every individual involved is crucial to a business's success.
Our Solution: The Facivo Three Pillars
We're building Facivo on three core principles that guide every decision we make: Sustainability, Equality, and Quality.
I. Sustainability
We are committed to being one with the Earth in everything we do.
- Conscious Production: Our primary goal is to ensure all products are sustainably sourced, organic, and free from harmful substances. We meticulously monitor growing practices to minimize water waste and material usage. This means no harmful chemicals in the softening process and no toxic dyes in coloring.
- Caring for People: Sustainable production extends beyond environmental impact; it includes taking care of the people who craft our products. We prioritize fair working conditions, including 4-day work weeks, to prevent overworking employees. By fostering a culture of care, we create an environment where employees feel valued and want to thrive.
II. Equality
We believe in fairness and dignity for all.
- Transforming Pay: We're committed to transforming pay rates to benefit everyone involved. While there will naturally be some pay differences across roles, those who physically create our products will be prioritized. This means good insurance, competitive pay, and reasonable working hours that allow them to provide for their families while working approximately 30 hours over four days. All employees will receive fair and equitable pay, regardless of their position. We will not take excessive pay and profit margins, ensuring our markups are sustainable, not exploitative.
- Empowering Work: We foster an environment where work is distributed evenly, and every team member is motivated to contribute their best. We're not about corporate jargon; we're about genuine well-being. We firmly believe that financial stability and a humane work environment can significantly alleviate stress and contribute to mental wellness. We refuse to be a corporation that grinds employees to exhaustion.
III. Quality
Excellence is at the heart of everything we offer.
- Exceptional Products: We ensure top-notch quality in our printing, embroidery, and stitching. Maintaining high standards builds customer trust in our products and pricing. Our goal is for our clothing to last as long as possible, countering the trend of planned obsolescence.
- Redefining Customer Experience: We aim to transform the customer experience from start to finish. From seeing an advertisement that genuinely reflects our values to trying on clothes and making a purchase, we envision a seamless and meaningful journey. Customers can try on clothing, then place an order based on their preferences, with options for pickup or delivery. This allows us to put a higher level of care into each product as it's made-to-order, minimizing over-manufacturing and the need for large storage spaces. We'll even offer opportunities for unique add-ons, like custom patches, recycled buttons, and special designs.
We're building Facivo not just as a clothing brand, but as a movement towards a more sustainable, equitable, and quality-driven future for fashion.
