Sourcing Philosophy
It is our duty to ensure that Righteous Babe operates in an ethical way through all of its processes, as it is the core of the brand’s beliefs. Our philosophy is simple -- To design and deliver beautiful, high-quality pieces made with sustainable manufacturing practices to you.
​
Sourcing Domestically is only one part of our quest to make things better. The other is to intentionally keep the manufacturers and garment factories close to each other -- not only to (hopefully) minimize the carbon footprint but to also be efficient and lower cost.
​
Transparency and accountability for what is done and how our product is made is at the utmost importance to us.
