Asked after the second order, not after the first.

We moved to Eco Vira after two suppliers failed to repeat a fit. Three seasons later every re-order still measures inside tolerance against the sealed sample, and the shade band has never drifted. For a fashion brand, that consistency is worth more than a lower unit price.

Six thousand certified workwear units arrived ten days before our safety audit, with embroidery registration identical from the first carton to the last. The compliance file was complete on arrival, which meant our auditor had nothing to chase.

Our activewear passed the retailer 100-wash durability protocol on first submission after a previous supplier failed it twice. Eco Vira tested the bonded seams in-house before bulk instead of hoping. That single decision unlocked the listing.

We launched with 30 pieces per colourway, proved the demand, and were shipping full containers within two seasons. No other clothing manufacturer we approached would even quote our first run, let alone treat it seriously.

The GOTS collection shipped with complete chain-of-custody documentation and cleared our internal claim audit without a single query. Working with a sustainable clothing manufacturer that treats paperwork as part of the product is rare.

Forty thousand printed tees across eleven designs, struck off in 48 hours and split-shipped to six event cities on the promised dates. The logistics planning was as professional as the printing.

What sold us was the communication. Our merchandiser replies the same working day, sends photographs at cutting and mid-line, and tells us about a problem before we discover it. After eleven years of importing apparel, that is genuinely unusual.

Eco Vira now produces our entire staff uniform programme — front of house, kitchen and housekeeping — across fourteen sizes and four properties. Re-orders arrive matched to the original garments, which keeps every team looking like one brand.
