Independent family business since 2003.
Working in partnership with an experienced entrepreneur in Vietnam who runs her own family business.  We visit Vietnam twice a year are also in constant daily touch with our partner there and are confident that:
No young children work in the manufacture of our products;
We pay a full and fair price ensures a fair wage and good working conditions for their workers.
We balance a sustainable income for our workers.
All hand-made mainly by women, working in small villages either in small, clean, brightly lit and well ventilated, safe workshops or at home so that they can work according to their own and their families’ needs. 
Many workers come from rural rice farming communities where poverty is widespread. Working with Lua enables them to combine their farming obligations with a valuable additional source of income.  The work is flexible so they are able to learn new tailoring skills and continue with their education if required and, are also able to have time off for family commitments.  Training is provided on the job in the workshop for the first two years to develop skills and experience. 
The workers are paid sick leave and, health insurance is provided for older workers. 
The regular work provided enables women from disadvantaged backgrounds to improve their families’ living conditions and to send their children to higher education;
The two workshops are bright, well ventilated, nearby to the women's homes and are fully compliant with local regulations – working conditions, health and safety practices, salary levels/insurance, etc – and are inspected regularly at local level;
The workers who make our products are happy with their work and pay and consequently more than 30 women at the core of the team have been making our products for more than 20 years!
