Wages and Pay Transparency
Wages & Pay
Transparency
We believe transparency should be meaningful, not performative. Here is a full breakdown of how we pay our Bangladesh production team, how figures are calculated, and what our wages include.
Bangladesh Production Unit
Our Bangladesh production unit is located in Narayanganj, an established garment manufacturing region. The unit operates across two floors, with one floor dedicated to cutting, sampling, and garment production, and one floor dedicated to printing.
As of 2026, the Bangladesh team consists of 40 employees working across production, printing, and support roles.
Bangladesh Wages Overview
All figures below are shown in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) and reflect approximate monthly base pay.
| Category | Monthly Wage (BDT) |
|---|---|
| Typical local garment factory wage | BDT 12,000 – 13,000 |
| Minimum wage we pay (production roles) | BDT 12,500 |
| Typical production wage range we pay | BDT 12,500 – 20,000 |
| Average wage paid across all roles | Approx. BDT 14,500 |
How the Average Wage is Calculated
The average wage shown is calculated by dividing the total wages paid during the payroll period by the number of team members paid that month.
This figure includes production, supervisory, and management roles. We share production wage ranges alongside this average to provide clear context and avoid relying on a single number.
What Our Wages Include
In addition to base wages, our team receives:
- Stable, year-round employment
- Paid leave in line with local requirements
- Overtime paid at agreed rates when required
- Supportive working environments
- Pay advancements provided when needed to support personal or family circumstances
Wages are paid directly and reviewed regularly to reflect role, experience, and responsibility.
Are These Wages Ethical and Sustainable?
Based on our internal payroll data, wages paid at our Bangladesh production unit sit above typical local garment factory wage standards. Combined with stable employment, paid leave, and additional support such as pay advancements, we believe this represents a sustainable and ethical approach to garment production within the local context.
Why We Share Wages This Way
We believe transparency should be meaningful, not performative. By sharing wage ranges, averages, and clear explanations of how figures are calculated, we aim to provide honest insight while respecting the privacy and safety of our team.
