LA-based Ética is one of the only manufacturers fully certified for Global Impact, Clean Industry Practices, and Social Responsibility — a major feat! — offering premium, vintage-inspired jeans with refined fits. Going beyond ethical materials and labour standards, this brand filters factory water and uses it for farmland initiatives, repurposes wash stones by compressing them into bricks to build low-income housing, and has banned the use of single-use plastic utensils, straws, plates, and cups in its company.
