Unbelts

Unbelts was started with two goals in mind: helping people feel great in their jeans, and creating quality jobs for the people throughout our supply chain. When Claire Theaker-Brown launched Unbelts from her living room in Shanghai, it wasn’t outsourcing - the women sewing the belts lived right down the street. We’ve now got twin studios: one in Changping, and one in Claire’s hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. Our manufacturing philosophy is “Who, not where” — because everyone who sews for Unbelts earns a living wage, works in a safe, comfortable environment, and has a flexible schedule. We honour the work that goes into our products by designing for circularity and making every Unbelt last as long as it possibly can.
