Rawbought’s Sustainability Certifications

Posted on by Rawbought

As owners of the manufacturing process, it is important for us to hold ourselves to international sustainability standards in order to fulfill our commitment towards reducing our negative environmental impact and to have a positive social impact.  The following international sustainability certifications serve as a benchmark for us to reach and surpass while also giving our customers and partners reassurance of our commitment towards sustainability. 

Check out what our various certifications mean. 

LEED – Gold and Platinum Ranking

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. Available for virtually all building types, LEED provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognised symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership. 

The main factors that are considered are location and transportation, sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, material and resources, indoor environmental quality and regional priority. Each building is given a certain number of points according to these factors, and the sum of those points will determine the rating the building receives. 

Our factories have received Gold and Platinum ratings, which are 60-79 points and 80+ points respectively.  

MRSL Compliance

MRSL stands for Manufacturing Restricted Substance List and provides brands, retailers, suppliers and manufacturers with acceptable limits of restricted substances in chemical formulations which are used in the raw material and product manufacturing processes.

An MRSL is used as a tool by companies around the world to regulate the safety of chemical formulations used to make the raw materials that go into products and samples. The regulation of chemical formulations upstream, through an MRSL, protects workers, consumers and the environment. 

We aim to be 100% compliant by the end of 2021, where we adhere strictly to limits on restricted substances in chemical formulation in our manufacturing processes.

RCS and GRS

The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) and Global Recycled Standard (GRS) are international, voluntary standards that set requirements for third-party certification of recycled input and chain of custody. The shared goal of the standards is to increase the use of recycled materials. The GRS includes additional criteria for social and environmental processing requirements and chemical restrictions.

As recycling is one of our key strategies to reduce our impact on the environment, holding ourselves to these international, voluntary standards help us stay committed to our sustainability goals. 

Higg Index

The Higg Index is a suite of tools for the standardised measurement of value chain sustainability, and it is central to the SAC’s mission to transform businesses for exponential impact.

We have been certified under two modules as manufacturers – the Higg Facility Environmental Module (Higg FEM) and the Higg Facility Social & Labour Module (Higg FSLM). 

Higg FEM

The Higg Facility Environmental Module (Higg FEM) informs manufacturers, brands, and retailers about the environmental performance of their individual facilities, empowering them to scale sustainability improvements.

The Higg FEM provides facilities a clear picture of their environmental impacts. It helps them identify and prioritize opportunities for performance improvements. It assesses environmental management systems, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, water use, wastewater, emissions to air (if applicable), waste management and chemical management. 

Higg FSLM

The Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (Higg FSLM) promotes safe and fair social and labour conditions for value chain workers all over the world. Facilities can use the scored assessment to understand hotspots and reduce audit fatigue. Instead of focusing on compliance, they can dedicate time and resources to making lasting systemic changes.

The Higg FSLM assesses recruitment and hiring, working hours, wages and benefits, employee treatment, employee involvement, health and safety, termination, management systems, empowering people and communities.

SA8000 Standard

The SA8000 Standard is the world’s leading social certification program. The SA8000 Standard and Certification System provide a framework for organisations of all types, in any industry, and in any country to conduct business in a way that is fair and decent for work.

We are assessed on the following factors – child labour, forced or compulsory labour, health and safety, freedom of association & right to collective bargaining, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, remuneration and management systems. 

We are proud to have two of only five manufacturing facilities that have achieved the SA8000 certification in Bangladesh, as of 2021. 

SMETA

Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA), the most widely used social audit in the world, is Sedex’s social auditing methodology, enabling businesses to assess their sites and suppliers to understand working conditions in their supply chain.

This audit enables us to assess our suppliers, monitor health and safety for workers, and signal zero tolerance of human rights abuses such as child and forced labour. 

Better Work

Better Work is a partnership between the UN’s International Labour Organization and the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group. It helps to bring diverse groups together – governments, global brands, factory owners, and unions and workers – to improve working conditions in the garment industry and make the sector more competitive.

Our parent company is the first company registered with the Better Work initiative in

Bangladesh and is currently a Cycle 5 participants, which is the highest level in the country. 

Being Our Own Manufacturers – The Difference We Make

There are no two ways about it – the Earth needs saving. We have already started feeling the effects of climate change and more needs to be done by both individuals and corporations all over the world. It is especially important for brands in the fashion industry to take into account the environmental and social impact of our production. From design to last-mile delivery, it is crucial for us to engage in sustainable practices for the betterment of the planet and society.

At Rawbought, we are committed to environmental and social sustainability at every step of the way. We own the entire production chain – from design to production to sale. As such, we recognise the influence and impact that we have and strive to harness them to not just reduce the negative impact, but to have a net positive impact on the environment and society as well.

Being our own manufacturers allows us to make a large difference in pursuit of our sustainability goals through the following ways:

Knowing Our Suppliers

The dynamic nature of the fashion industry means that brands have a wide network of partners and suppliers that they work with all over the world. These complex supplier networks can result in brands not always having complete visibility over who they are working with and their quality standards.

Being our own manufacturers allows us to have wider control over who we want to work with. We are able to choose to work with only trusted partners and suppliers who align with our values.

Taking on majority of the responsibility of implementing environmentally sustainable and ethical production practices enables us to make a big difference and see great progress in achieving the industry’s collective sustainability goals. 

Speed of Implementation

Many brands are often stuck in long-term contracts with their production partners, making the process of pivoting to sustainable practices a long and arduous one. However, environmental and social impacts are being felt right now, and it is absolutely crucial for the global fashion industry to pivot to and adopt sustainable practices as fast as possible.

 As our own manufacturers, we are able to make decisions, and more importantly, act on them much quicker than usual. This allows us to set ambitious goals and hold ourselves to higher global standards when it comes to our sustainability goals.

Social Responsibility

Owning the production process also means that we personally employ the people who work on Rawbought’s merchandise.

Fair wage and safe and ethical working conditions are the bare minimum expected of any employer in the industry. We go much beyond that and actively invest time, effort and money into empowering all our employees to reach their fullest potential.

Some of our broader workplace inclusion initiatives include equipping employees with disabilities and from minority communities with professional and personal development skills to enable them to thrive in their careers. 

There is still much we can do in our pursuit of environmental and social sustainability. Being our own manufacturers also makes us more accountable for our own. We are constantly striving towards building a brand that promotes sustainable and ethical consumption, while walking the talk by implementing sustainable production practices.

5 Ways to Stay Positive During Repeated Lockdowns

Posted on by Rawbought

A year ago, the future was uncertain, and we were all navigating uncharted waters with the mysterious new virus. 2021 paints a different picture. Shorter, snap lockdowns have become more common around the world, as nations buy more time to vaccinate their populations against the rapidly mutating variants of COVID-19. While technically shorter than the strict, months-long lockdowns that we survived last year, these shorter lockdowns somehow make us feel worse. It feels like walking through mud – especially when you’ve experienced and gotten used to the eased restrictions. If you’re feeling more frustrated, worried, or burnt out, you’re not alone. These emotions are completely valid, but it is also important to not let them overwhelm you. Here are a few ways we think you can stay positive during repeated lockdowns, and we hope they help make these uncertain times a little easier to get through.

Set boundaries

Doomscrolling through bad news on social media can increase your feelings of anxiety and depression. You might notice yourself losing your feelings of empathy and forget how to appreciate the positive things in your day.

Set boundaries for yourself on your consumption of bad news. It could be reading just the important updates at the end of the day, or just a couple of times a day. You could also follow that up with reading about the positive and uplifting things that happened around the world. This can help with alleviating the feelings of frustration and hopelessness that are more prevalent during lockdowns.

Find alternatives to your routine

Short lockdowns can be highly disruptive to your regular routines e.g. exercising at the gym. Routines are essential in making you feel like you’re in control of your life, something that is greatly affected when you’re forced into a lockdown.

Finding alternatives to your regular routines can help you regain that feeling of control and normalcy. If your gym is shut temporarily, try doing your exercise outdoors in a park or even at home. You might find it useful to invest in equipment that allows you to stick to your routine – especially if this new normal is here to stay.

Setting aside specific blocks of time to stick to your routine helps you avoid falling off the wagon and exacerbating negative feelings associated with lockdowns.

Set mini-goals

One common feeling that many of us share during lockdowns is the feeling of being unproductive. If you feel like doing something with the extra time on your hand due to the lockdown, you can set short-term goals for yourself. The extra pockets of time you have at the end of day or on weekends can be spent organising your wardrobe, finally getting to the small home fixes or even a short online course on something you’re interested in. For those who feel guilty for “wasting time”, setting and achieving these mini-goals can help you feel accomplished, and more importantly, make time pass faster.

However, it’s completely okay not to be productive during lockdowns. We are still going through a crisis, and you should not feel bad or inadequate if you aren’t productive. You can take this time to take a well-deserved break and focus on yourself if you need to.

Savour the little moments

Spending more than a year struggling through a global pandemic surrounded by negativity can make you lose sight of the small things that make your day better. Making a concerted effort to do and focus on the positive elements in your day will help you see the silver lining in your current circumstances.

Lockdowns might mean that you can’t dine out at your favourite restaurant but you can spend a weekend trying new recipes at home with your partner or loved ones. Dress up for a night in, just for fun. Write down the things in your day that you’re grateful for. These small moments of happiness help more than you think to stay positive, lift your mood and keep intrusive thoughts of negativity and uncertainty at bay.

Embrace your emotions

Be truthful to yourself. Feeling negative emotions is completely okay, especially during a time of stress and crisis. It is difficult to stay positive and motivated all the time due to the uncertainty that this pandemic has brought us – and you shouldn’t beat yourself up over not doing so.

However, you should also ensure that you’re prioritising your mental well-being during these tough times. Ignoring and downplaying your struggles will only make things worse in the future. It’s important to show yourself some compassion.

If you feel like you might not be coping well, talk to a professional that you trust and take things easy.

We have lived through a global pandemic for more than year, persevering through huge shocks and changes to our lives as we knew it. Give yourself some much-deserved credit for making it through that and let it give you a sense of hope that you can get through this as well. This too shall pass.

Checking In on Your Goals for the Year

Posted on by Rawbought
Checking in On Your Goals for the Year Woman sitting and wearing Je Dors Full Set PJ in chalky blue by Rawbought

The year that has been has taught us, if nothing else, that life is extremely unpredictable, and circumstances can change drastically in a heartbeat. If so, is there still any point to setting new year resolutions and goals anymore? Sure, there is. Setting self-development goals helps guide you on the path towards becoming a better version of yourself. As with every journey, checking in regularly on your progress is crucial to actually reaching your destination. It is important to check in on your goals for the year, preferably around the halfway mark, to see if you’re still on track to achieving them.

Review Your Progress

Look at the goals that you had set and ask yourself – are these goals too difficult or easy to achieve? Have you been putting in the work to achieve them? Are you still motivated about achieving these goals? Reach deep within yourself and answer them honestly. Setting aside time and headspace to check in with your progress allows you to take stock of your efforts – to see if you need to be putting in more or readjust your goals to fit your motivations better. One way you can track and review your progress is through regular journaling. It helps you keep a record of your daily habits and tasks, making it easier for you to revisit your actions and headspace over time.

Check In with Your Why’s

Often times we set goals without truly delving into why exactly we want to achieve them.  If you find that you haven’t been progressing as should, then you need to ask yourself why. Why you haven’t been doing so, and more importantly, why you set those goals in the first place. Your motivation that pushes you towards achieving your goals needs to be strong – you need to be fully convinced that achieving this goal will help you solve the issue that you’re facing. If your why’s aren’t strong enough, it will be extremely difficult for you to gather enough motivation to achieve your goals.

Set New Goals

Sometimes, you might find that your why’s are indeed strong enough and yet you haven’t made any progress on your goals. Why is that? You probably are not the same person as you were when you set the goals. Your circumstances might have changed drastically – i.e., your personal life, your health, your job etc., and that might have affected your ability and motivation to achieve the goals you set. Goals aren’t set in stone – they can always be adjusted or even rewritten. You might need some extra time to achieve your goal, or it might not even be relevant anymore for your current situation. Don’t be afraid to set new goals. It’s perfectly alright to change your goals to fit the current you better.

Goals are visions and ideas – they can come into existence at anytime and anywhere. You shouldn’t pressure yourself to set them at the beginning of the year and achieve them by the end. You can set and achieve your goals whenever you want to. Make sure that you have the right motivation to achieve those goals and that they help you grow into a better version of yourself that you will love.

How to Design Your Bedroom for Better Sleep

Posted on by Rawbought

Location, location, location. Where you sleep matters as much as when and how you sleep – especially when you’re trying fall asleep and stay asleep. From temperature to smell and more, your sleeping environment serves as an important foundation for the quality of rest that you get. Here are some tips on how you can design your bedroom for better sleep.  

Keep It Cool

Cooler temperatures have been proven to be more conducive for sleep. This is because our bodies are programmed to experience a slight dip in temperature in evening. Having a cool bedroom when you sleep can help with regulating your body temperature as well as serving as a signal to your body that it is time for bed.

For those living in tropical climates, keeping your room cool will need some extra effort. Ensure that your bedroom is well-ventilated by opening a window for cool, fresh air to flow in or switching on a fan or the air conditioner. Switching on an air purifier can also help make sure that the air in your room is clean.

Keep It Dark

By nature, our bodies are designed to be awake during the day, when there’s light, and to be asleep, when it’s dark. Keeping your bedroom dark is more conducive for restorative sleep as it will be more in tune with our body’s natural circadian rhythm.

Invest in blackout shades and curtains that will help block out any natural or electric light (e.g., from street lamps or car headlights) from your windows. You can also go a step further and paint the walls of your bedroom in cool and neutral hues like blue, lavender and grey, to further evoke a sense of calm in your sleeping environment.

Avoid Electric Light

Using your phone in bed or falling asleep while we watch TV are some habits that we’ve all indulged in. They, however, are detrimental to your quality of sleep. The blue light that our electronic devices emit disrupt our body’s circadian rhythm at night, as it makes us feel more awake. This then makes it harder for us to fall asleep at night.

Put Sleep First

The pandemic has forced most of us to work from home for majority of the week, if not permanently. For those who don’t have a dedicated office space at home to work out of, it is very tempting to work from the comfort of our beds. Working from home has also blurred the lines of working and resting hours. A combination of these two factors means that your bedroom, meant to be a sanctuary for rest and relaxation, has turned into a place where your mind gets activated for work. 

This can affect your sleep quality as your mind is now conditioned to associate your room and bed with work and the stress that comes with it. By removing all elements of work from your bedroom, you can help your mind associate your bedroom with sleep and rest, allowing you to have a good night’s sleep.

Keep it Clean

Having a clean and neat room is not just good for hygiene purposes, it also has an indirect impact on your quality of sleep. Clutter in your room is distracting and can cause you to feel subconscious stress and anxiety. This may cause sleep disturbances, resulting in you having poor sleep and not feeling well-rested.

Clean your bedroom regularly and keep it neat – that means no more “laundry chair”. Fold your clean laundry and store them out of sight in your wardrobe. Keep your vanity and side tables free of clutter and dust. You can also use aroma and essential oils that are conducive for relaxation to keep your room smelling nice and fresh.

Invest in Good Quality Bedding

Your bed is the most important element in your bedroom. The mattress you lay on, the pillows you use and the blankets you drape all can have a direct effect on the quality of sleep that you get.

Invest in good quality bedding that complement your climate, sleeping posture and sleeping habits. This will help you feel comfortable while you sleep and wake up feeling well-rested and refreshed without any stiffness.

Take your time when designing your room for better sleep. Making gradual adjustments over time will make it easier for you to measure the impact on your quality of sleep and help you identify elements that you might want to tweak further.

Happy sleeping!

5 Common Sleep Mistakes You Didn’t Know You Were Making

Posted on by Rawbought

Riddle me this – what’s something that we’ve been doing every single day for our whole lives, and yet can still get wrong sometimes? Sleeping. That’s right, sleeping is something that we can still do wrong no matter how old we are. As adults with adult responsibilities, sleep may not rank very high on our priority list, but it should. Poor quality sleep can affect our physical and mental health in many ways. Let’s look at some of the common sleep mistakes you didn’t know you were making and how you can fix them.

Using Your Phone in Bed

Let’s face it, this is a very common sleep mistake that all of us have done before (or still do). Last bit of scrolling on Instagram, late-night gossip sessions with your girlfriends or the latest episode of your favourite show – sometimes it’s hard to resist the absolute comfort of lying in bed and using your phone. However, the blue light that it emits can have an adverse effect on your sleep. It affects your circadian rhythm, making you feel more awake, resulting in you taking longer to fall asleep and having a sleep that isn’t restful.

As far as possible, avoid the use of any electronic devices that give off blue light, such as your phone, tablet or even TVs, right before you sleep to ensure that both your body and mind are ready for sleep. 

Not Having a Night-time Ritual

Well, if you are not using your phone in bed anymore, what should you do? Getting into bed and knocking out in seconds are for the lucky ones. For those not-so-lucky ones, you can design a simple night-time ritual for yourself. It could be as elaborate as setting up scented candles and meditating with a sheet mask or as simple as doing your regular skincare routine before writing in your journal.

Your night-time routine should help you wind down properly at the end of your day and prepare your body and mind for rest. Clearing your mind of the day’s stress and anxiety before you sleep greatly improves the quality of your sleep and waking experience.

Check out our tips on designing your ideal night-time ritual.

Wearing Uncomfortable Clothes to Bed

The 20-year-old school T-shirt, your boyfriend’s oversized T-shirt that has seen better days – all nightwear that we believe don’t give you the necessary comfort you need for quality sleep. Your skin and body deserve better.

Invest in good quality sleepwear that suit your skin, body and the climate that you’re sleeping in. Warm, tropical weather calls for fabrics such as modal and cotton that wick moisture and heat from your body and regulate your body temperature through the night, allowing you to sleep in maximum comfort.

Inconsistent Sleep Patterns

Bedtimes are back and more important than ever. Going to bed at different times every day disrupts your body’s natural body clock, preventing you from having healthy and restful sleep.

Plan your day’s activities well and pick a bedtime that you can stick to. This allows for ample rest and restoration. Starting your night-time routine at the same time every day helps your body recognise that it’s time for rest.

Sleeping In (too much) on Weekends

Staying up during weekdays due to school or work and making up for lost sleep on weekends by sleeping in – sound familiar? It’s a habit that many of us have, but it might not be as restorative as you think. While you might be evening things out in terms of the number of hours of sleep, your body will still be losing out on quality rest during the week, when it needs it the most. Sleeping in too much on your days off (e.g. waking up in the afternoon) can cause more harm than good as it disrupts your sleep rhythm, making starting your week again that much harder.

Sleeping and waking up at roughly the same time gives your body a pattern to get used to, allowing it to be ready for rest and wakefulness.

Guilty of some, or even all of the common sleep mistakes above? Don’t be too hard on yourself. Take deliberate and consistent actions to introduce good sleep habits into your daily routines and you should be on the right track to getting a restful and restorative night of sleep.  If you fall off the wagon, just pick yourself and start again – there’s no shame in starting over.

How to Start Your Day Right

Posted on by Rawbought

How you start your day pretty much sets the tone for the rest of your day. Waking up refreshed after a good night’s sleep, in a good mood with a clear idea of the day’s tasks and responsibilities can sound a little too good to be true, but you can make it your reality with a few simple changes to your daily routine. Here are some of our favourite tips on how you can start your day right.

Start the Night Before

Yes, that’s right. The first way you can start your day right is to end your last one well. Getting a good amount of high quality, restful sleep will definitely leave you feeling refreshed the next day. Plan a simple night time routine for yourself that allows you to wind down enough to feel ready for bed. It could consist of simple actions like doing your skincare, writing in your journal or reading a book.

Stretch Your Muscles

After a night of deep, restful sleep, your muscles would naturally be stiff. Doing some stretching exercises as soon as you get out of bed will help loosen them up and get blood flowing through your body. The increase in blood circulation also helps you feel more awake, so you won’t be tempted to sneak back into bed for those extra five minutes. This will give you an added boost to help you start your day right.

Drink Water

After going an entire night without water, and in tropical climates, in an air-conditioned room, your body would be dehydrated. Drinking a glass of lukewarm or warm water first thing in the morning is a great way to rehydrate your body. Warm water also helps to kickstart your digestive system, ensuring that you flush out the built-up toxins as soon as possible. If you’re feeling a little fancy, you can add a slice of lemon in your warm water. It is a great source of Vitamin C and antioxidants, that help you build up your immunity and metabolism. It’s a healthy way to start your day right.

Practise Meditation or Gratitude

Many people have found that meditating early in the morning has allowed them to have more energy and clarity when they start their day. Meditation or mindfulness can be tough for beginners, who struggle to fully clear their mind and focus. Another  way to get your mood right for the day is to practise gratitude. Take a couple of minutes to think of everything that you’re grateful for. As you reflect, you will start to feel more positive and your brain will release feel-good chemicals like dopamine, endorphins and serotonin. This will help you feel much better about your day as you start it right.

Words of Affirmation

Another way to get into the right frame of mind for the day is to read or listen to words of affirmation. Words have great power. So when you hear or read encouraging things at the start of your day, you will find yourself being more motivated to take on the day’s challenges. Words of affirmation can help build up your self-confidence bit by bit every single day, and lift your self-esteem.

You can prepare words of affirmation in many different ways – writing yourself notes to be read in the mornings, affirmation calendars, affirmation cards that you can revisit any time you want. If you prefer something that you can use on the go, there are many apps and podcasts that you can download to get your daily affirmations to start your day right.

Starting your day right is the first step to a happier and healthier you. You may not always have great days – you might oversleep one day, or fall sick another. Cut yourself some slack and don’t be discouraged. It’s the journey that counts, so pick yourself up and continue your routine.   

Why Modal Pyjamas are Best for the Summer

Posted on by Rawbought

All-day air-conditioning, choking humidity and stuffy nights – the typical Singaporean summer, especially in our hottest months of May to August. Night-time comfort in our equatorial climate looks like thin, airy pyjamas made of breathable fabric that allows heat to escape easily. Modal is one such fabric that is best for tropical summers, guaranteed to give you the full-body comfort that you so need. Let’s take a look at the reasons why modal pyjamas are best for the summer.

Je Dors Full Set in Chalky Blue, Modal Pyjamas by Rawbought

Modal is Breathable

The semi-synthetic nature of the modal fabric allows heat to escape from your skin to the air easily, preventing heat retention in your body. This helps keep you cool during warm summer nights, especially for those of us who naturally run a little hotter. Modal pyjamas can help in regulating your body temperature throughout the night, ensuring that you get a good night’s sleep in maximum comfort.

Modal is Absorbent

Modal is 50% more absorbent than pure cotton fabrics, due to the nature of its blend. It also helps wick away moisture from your body, ensuring lasting comfort and ease. Its absorbency also ensures that fewer bacteria is collected, making it a more hygienic fabric compared to its cotton counterparts. This makes modal pyjamas perfect for both day-time lounging and night-time rest.

Modal is Buttery Soft

Modal fabric is known to be extremely soft and cool to the touch. Our Je Dors and Carezza Collections made of a modal-nylon blend feel like heaven on your skin, even after repeated washing and drying. Keep cool and feel luxurious this summer in our favourite modal pyjamas.
