Why sustainable?
BASHMADE
CODE OF ETHICS
Our products are sustainable, ethically made and organic. Wonder why? Simple. Because we give a fuck.
Karma is not a bitch if you pay respect to her. We want to be part of the solution, not the problem. Choosing for organic cotton, we support healthy living and working conditions for farmers, better soil, less water-waste and a bunch of other stuff that makes people and the planet smile.
Our natural ink prevents your skin from absorbing harmful chemicals. And that’s a big thing, because your skin is the biggest organ and doesn’t have a bullshit filter (your digestive system does).
MADE BY BANGLADASH® is our answer to the fast fashion game. Of course buying our stuff will not save the planet, but you’re investing in a future that definitely will.
We value:
- Our kids’ skin
- Farmers’ lives
- Oceans
- Our brothers’ and sisters’ lives in the factories
- Water
- Soil
That’s why we:
- Only use natural inks
- Guarantee fair wages for the makers
- Make sure work environments are safe
- Choose Monsanto-free cotton
- Go for non-toxic drying processes
- Work with recycled materials
- Natural, untreated GMO-free seeds
- Make better use of soil
- Do not support sweatshops
- Make sure baby clothing is safe
- Use less water
You have our word.

How to take care of my merch?
BASHMADE WASHING INSTRUCTION
Wash
At 30 degrees
Detergent
Use a natural eco detergent or soap nuts. Harsh detergent can affect the colour of your print.
Dry
Organic cotton can also be more sensitive to heat, and is more likely to shrink when washed or dried at high temperatures. Just hang it to dry naturally.
Fact
Apparently our merch gets stolen a lot. Especially when left to dry outside. So take care and practice your chokes, just in case.

How is the merch made?
Sustainable suppliers
We work with award-winning manufacturers of sustainable garments. All are enlisted at and checked by the Fair Wear Foundation. These organic garments are produced ethically in Bangladesh, Tanzania, Turkey and Portugal.
Made to order
We work made to order, which keeps our stock lean. Sold out is sold out. We value a less-waste approach.
Printed and finessed by hand
We design the print and scan them on a print screen by hand. We print each piece of merch by hand, using natural water-based ink. The ink is free from lead and other heavy metals. In fact, our inks don’t contain any toxic chemicals. The drying process and the finishing touch (adding labels, cords, sizes) is done in our atelier.
Can I visit the atelier?
Yes you can. Just let us know when you want to stop by. And we’ll be happy to meet you in person.
Will the print last?
Yes, it will stick like a turtle to its shell.
An old turtle might have a slightly faded shell, but it will age with grace. Like a good pair of jeans. The same goes for our merch.
In any case, we give you a 2-year print guarantee. If yours is fading and you’re not happy with it, just contact us and we will make it up to you.
