A local community
100% Made in Italy clothing
Ethical production has been one of our core values from the beginning and being able to support our local community and the small artisan factories in our area is one of our greatest satisfactions. Italy is a country full of passion and love and we wanted to be able to transmit this energy through our products.
Ethical production at 70 km
A community based on friendship and respect
Every part of our production process takes place within a 70 km radius of our headquarters in Padua in small, often family-run businesses, where the work of each individual is valued and where craftsmanship is still considered art. We are always in close contact with our community and we love working with people who have the same passion and creative spirit as us: it never gets boring!
Our Made in Italy includes the entire value chain, from the yarn to the final product
It is difficult to realize how many steps and how many people are involved in the creation of a single piece of clothing. From processing the yarns to dyeing, from preparing the patterns to cutting the fabrics: the assembly and packaging of the garment is only a final phase of an integrated flow of creation.
Italian certifications, safety and quality
In addition to ethical aspects, there is another reason why we have chosen to produce exclusively in Italy: it is a question of safety! With everything we do we want to create a feeling of well-being for everyone involved, from workers to our customers. Therefore, creating products that do not cause harm to human health, safety and the environment is our number one priority and choosing only certified local businesses is the only way to guarantee the highest production standards. Our fabrics are subjected to the most severe safety standards that only Italian production can guarantee, including the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® which certifies the harmlessness to human health and the environment of the dyes used.
A sustainable choice
We wanted to find and create a network of people who share our same values in each production area. Passion for Italian craftsmanship is what brought us together, but love for the environment is what keeps us together. Every member of our value chain is committed to sustainable business practices and reducing their environmental impact
For example, the company that packages most of our products is self-sufficient in terms of energy thanks to the use of photovoltaic panels. But even downstream in the supply chain, we always choose suppliers who implement sustainable processes. The suppliers of our main fabrics are committed to reducing CO2 throughout the entire production process and have developed a closed system to recover and recycle the water used. The energy used in the factories also comes 100% from renewable sources and many have installed a system to save and reuse the energy used in the various processes. Another important criterion for CASAGiN is waste reduction. In fact, all fabric suppliers are committed to recycling their production waste.
Transparency
We wanted to make you understand what our price includes, which is also fair when compared to other brands. When you read the price of a product you have to think about the cost of the raw material and all the people who put their KNOW-HOW into making something unique with their own hands; it is important to reflect on the fact that they must be paid decently for their work.
