In-House Production

One Vintage sets itself apart by manufacturing its products in-house, using a small team.

Living Wages

While One Vintage has taken several steps to prioritize workers’ rights, there is currently no evidence to suggest that the brand ensures workers are paid living wages. While the brand’s commitment to in-house production and supply chain traceability is commendable, ensuring fair wages for all workers would further enhance its rating in this category.
