Recently the boss went on a trip to India to visit our factory over there.  We try to do this regularly to check the conditions for our team out there and make sure it is at the highest standard. 

.

We aim to be completely transparent with our customers so if you have got any questions please let us know. 

They were making our long sleeved fox shirts, so its great to see the garments actually being made. As you can see all of our garments are handmade.  We use old pattern cutting methods too so nothing is done by huge machinery. 

.

We also provide our workers with accommodation as a lot of them work in the remote villages, this stops any travel expense on a daily basis. They work seasonally so have plenty of time back with their families. 

.

We only make our clothing in short runs and do not mass produce, this is why sometimes items do become out of stock, or we cannot do every size in every design or expand quickly to bigger size ratios.  We want o do this but will retire older lines in order to make it happen, as we never want to over stretch ourselves or grow beyond our means as we know how many people rely on us.

.

Run & Fly has been going since 1986 and is owned and operated by the same family that ran it then although it has been passed down to the founders son now.  

.

We want to be open and honest with our customers. We are always trying to do better and we know we aren't perfect as no one producing fashion can be as there will always be some impact on the environment but we want to do the best we can and give back what we can.

.

If you have any further questions please pop us an email to hello@runandfly.co.uk and we will do our best to answer it. 

We also make sure that all of our workers are paid the living wage.

Our factory is in Bhiwandi, which is 20km from Mumbai.  The city of Bhiwandi, known for its textile industry, has the largest number of power looms and handlooms in the country and is dubbed "the Manchester of India". A major portion of the population is employed by the power loom sector.
