G-Star Raw

Since its inception in 1989, G-Star has been on the cutting edge of jeans and other denim apparel. They've adopted a 3-D design processes, reduced the use of traditional cotton in favor of organic, and created coordinating accessories for jockeys and fashion-forward horses. The brand is ever on trend, with apparel such as pastel jeans for women and slim-cut jackets for men. G-Star Raw's motto may be "just the product," but the label goes beyond luxury denim. G-Star draws from other materials to create T-shirts, sweaters, shoes, belts, and even underwear.

The company is involved with its manufacturers and suppliers, as well. Although it does not own any factories overseas, it does carefully vet the companies it works with to make sure they follow G-Star's code of conduct, which is based on the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international conventions. G-Star has even taken extra steps in Bangladesh, monitoring safety compliance and other issues, including inspecting work buildings through thermography for construction and electrical faults that could turn dangerous.
