What is KOKO?

Q: What is KOKO?

A: KOKO stands for 'Keep On Keepin' On', a new brand which brings together a passion for music, lyrics, and fashion, as well as trying to keep the earth chugging along for our children. Here you'll find exclusive, eco-friendly, 100% organic apparel from artists and musicians, and even early bird gig tickets and unique-to-KOKO backstage access competitions!

Q: What artists do you work with?

A: KOKO is all about supporting emerging artists and promoting music we truly love. All of the artist partners featured here are people I have met personally and built a relationship with. That means you'll never find us selling merchandise just for the sake of it.

Q: Anyone I might have heard of?

A: We're currently working with the amazing Harlequiin as well as having a stream of exciting talent partnerships lined up ready to go. One at a time! Plus, January will see a major campaign for BIIIIG act. Can't wait.

Eco friendly and socially responsible

Q: What suppliers do you use to create your designs?

A: After much research and testing I have decided to only use Bella & Canvas or Stanley/Stella products to print our designs. I believe that these are the most eco friendly and socially responsible suppliers available.

Q: What makes Bella & Canvas or Stanley/Stella the best choice?

A: Working with only these suppliers means that every one of our tees are fair trade. They are either WRAP Certified (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) or GOTS accredited (Global Organic Textile Standard), the highest standard for the entire production chain. Suppliers treat their employees with dignity and respect, and are constantly aware of their environmental impact. Our suppliers also create almost no landfill, so everything that can’t be turned into a tee is either recycled or repurposed.

Q: How can I learn more about your suppliers?

A: When it comes to feeling confident that your money is supporting the causes that matter to you, nothing beats doing your own research.

More information on how Bella&Canvas are putting people and our planet first can be found here.

Stanley/Stella are also members of the Fairwear Foundation meaning they are certified to adhere to Fairwear's stringent labour practices. You can download their social responsibility report here.

Q: What is WRAP certification?

A: WRAP is the world's largest independent certification program focused on the apparel, footwear, and sewn products sectors. Becoming a WRAP certified facility involves becoming and remaining compliant with the 12 WRAP Principles, including compliance with laws and workplace regulations, prohibition of forced or child labour, and the rights of workers to be free from abuse, harassment, and discrimination. You can learn more about WRAP certification and read their 12 principles in full here.

Q: What is GOTS certification?

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is recognised as the world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres. It defines high-level environmental criteria along the entire organic textiles supply chain and requires compliance with social criteria as well. Only textile products that contain a minimum of 70% organic fibres can become GOTS certified, and all chemical inputs such as dyestuffs and auxiliaries used must meet certain environmental and toxicological criteria. You can learn more about GOTS certification and their full criteria here.

Q: Are your clothes OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified?

A: STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world's best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component of it has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health. All our Stanley/Stella products carry the STANDARD 100 label. Learn more about STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX here.

Q: Are your clothes vegan friendly?

A: All our Stanley/Stella products are PETA certified. This means that they do not conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products and pledge never to do so. On top of this, their apparel is made from 100% vegan materials so you can be confident that no harm came to anyone during its creation. Learn more about the PETA certification process here.

Q: How can I tell if a product was made using Stanley/Stella or Bella&Canvas?

A: For information on specific products please contact us directly.
