Our production
Our factory in Thailand
The majority of our paigh garments are made in a small, family-run production facility in the heart of Thailand. Great value is placed on a pleasant working atmosphere, a good working atmosphere, personal demands and individual development. Some of our tailors also work from home in the surrounding villages and can therefore look after their families and spend more time with them, while also contributing to their livelihood. Unfortunately, not many people in Thailand get this opportunity. That's why we support our producer wherever we can and promote this great model together with you.
Our efforts to ensure fair working conditions, environmental protection and fair trade in Thailand were finally recognized by the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). Among other things, this is committed to supporting socially and economically disadvantaged minorities. Since the end of 2019 we have been allowed the status “Guaranteed Fair Trade Member” wear what we are very proud of.
Handmade accessories with attention to detail
Our accessories are created in constant collaboration with local Thai artists and current designers. They create unique products with a traditional background using loving details and creative ideas. Here, traditional craftsmanship is combined with modern influences and we are happy to help the artists bring their great work into the world. We are proud to be able to offer unique accessories, bags, wallets and much more and to support and promote our partners with every product.
Quality and design of our fashion pieces
paigh's quality standards begin with the selection of the fabrics for our trousers, scarves, skirts, kimonos and jumpsuits. Only the most beautiful patterns and the best quality make it to our tailors, where they are cut and lovingly handcrafted. In collaboration, the models and cuts are further developed, improved and adapted to the wishes of our customers. For example, we use special seam processes to make the seams more robust and beautiful, use more elaborate edge finishes and attach great importance to details in every step of the process.

A happy life together
paigh not only stands for colorful and fair fashion, but also for social diversity and openness. The employees in Thailand come from four different continents and seven different languages are spoken in the workshops. With this diverse gathering of people from all over the world, we want to welcome the diversity and possibilities of the whole world at paigh. Here everyone should have a chance for a fairly paid job, security and the opportunity to develop, regardless of where they come from. People who have been disadvantaged or neglected for political or religious reasons are also offered the opportunity to improve their lives through a secure job. It is often difficult or impossible for people in these problem regions to find a job. Through paigh, experience can be gained, skills developed and contacts made, as well as universal advantages for the rest of (professional) life. These special features not only have a positive impact on the working atmosphere, but also make the workplace an exciting, creative and progressive place for everyone involved.
Work and support together
The support of the employees in Thailand at paigh is something very special. We actively promote the creative development and fulfillment of our employees. Interested employees can attend learning sessions to develop their design and creative skills and thus expand their skills and learn new things. Another unusual offer is English lessons that take place three times a week. The linguistic, economic, technical and social skills of the employees that we promote and support at paigh enable Thai employees to benefit greatly throughout their lives.
Our production facility in Portugal
Our organic cotton garments come from a factory in Barcelos, a city in northern Portugal. The textile industry in Portugal has a long tradition, which means there is a wealth of experience - fortunately also with regard to sustainability. Our partner producer, with whom we have teamed up, has state-of-the-art machines and resource-saving processing methods. For example, only organic quality fabrics are used for the fashion pieces produced for paigh. The fashion pieces are produced in a water-saving manner and with significantly reduced CO2 emissions. The relationships with the workers and partners, like us, are also very important and are based on mutual respect, trust and mutual support.
The production facility is SEDEX certified. These seals ensure that important social and ecological requirements for working conditions, health and environmental protection, and ethical business practices are met. It has also been awarded the Standard 100 label from OEKO-TEX®. The seal guarantees that the clothing items are harmless to health by checking every component of the item for harmful substances.
