🦾 | Inclusivity
Garage does not offer any product lines geared towards people with disabilities. On their website, they make a statement claiming that they are committed to diversity and inclusion, including being accessible to everyone.
♿️ | Comfort
The brand offers clothing more geared towards being on trend and flattering over being comfortable to wear. However, it does sell clothing like sweatshirts and sweatpants, which are both easy for people with disabilities to put on.
Sustainability Assessment
🌍 | Environmental Impact
Garage has been trying to implement more sustainable solutions but their exact commitment is not transparent. It uses suppliers and manufacturers that are known to be detrimental for the environment.
🤝 | Labor Conditions
Manufacturing is done overseas and there is a history of exploitation. There is also not a lot of information on their supply chain and the treatment of workers. There does not appear to be any safety measures put in place and there is no evidence that workers are being paid a living wage.
🐾 | Animal Welfare:
Garage has limited use of fur, leather, and other animal products, though it does appear to use wool.
