TEAMWORK

With its heart and soul – the founder Inga Blumberga, HEBE would be nothing without its team! We strive to be a company of great friends, professionals, team players and patriots of what we do. Times change but values stay the same – we convey our moral, ethical and artistic beliefs into what we give to the world in terms of design, quality, social and ethical equality. HEBE takes pride in a collective that knows each other’s families and looks after the mutual well–being.

LOCAL

All HEBE clothing is produced locally, in a little, homey manufactory in the heart of Riga, Latvia, by highly qualified, harmonically employed and happy workers. All design and graphic work is developed by in–house specialists, and the manufacture takes place just a couple of steps away from our office, which makes it easy to oversee every stage of the process. HEBE believes in fair trade, employing women and mothers, offering them a safe and friendly work environment.

SUSTAINABILITY

Putting emphasis on ethical sourcing and production, we aim to be as transparent in our processes as we can. Our efforts lie in manufacturing wisely and consciously not to overproduce or leave leftovers, and save up water and energy resources. We strictly believe in using natural materials such as GOTS certified organic cotton that is not treated with harmful chemicals and is provided by trusted European suppliers. Production of garments, label tags, prints and packaging is done in Latvia, but other necessary details are ordered from neighbouring countries, thus cutting the distance from the producer to the user. HEBE uses recycled paper for label tags, and a combined biodegradable material for the shopping bags that decomposes in nature in three years’ time.

HEBE works in collaboration with the Latvian Association of World Wildlife Fund.
