FASHION SHOULD BE SAFE

TRANSPARENCY AND OPENNESS

The traceability of the supply chain allows customers to make an informed decision when purchasing the ZARINA, Befree, LOVE REPUBLIC, and sela collections and to obtain complete and accurate information about the supplier on the product label. Together with our partners, we will continually improve in this area.
