WE PRODUCE THE FINE DETAILS WHICH DEFINE YOUR BRAND​ From concept through to delivery, Circular Branding Group partners with brands in the fashion industry to produce bespoke garment labels, trims and packaging. We offer a high quality product range, expert knowledge and innovative solutions. We actively promote sustainable materials and supply products from ethical supply chains which are fully audited.

We're setting a new vision for garment branding: where products are made to be circular, where material is reused when possible & where products are designed and produced to be recycled and made again.












WHY CIRCULAR? Circular Branding Group is a global network of specialist production facilities which all share common values around ethics, sustainability, innovation and quality, all of which are backed up by audits, initiatives and certification. We have put ourselves in our customers shoes to not only create a business that ultimately delivers high quality products, but one which also offers so much more. We have seen, first-hand, the amount of hard work that brands are doing to improve their ethical and sustainability credentials but also the difficulties they face finding a supply chain to match. With Circular, brands can be confident in their wider supply chain, with the knowledge that their labels, trims and packaging are being produced ethically by a well-constructed supply network. For Circular, sustainability and ethics is not a trend, it is essential.


OUR NAME Making fashion circular is essential - and that is why it is in our name! We aim to play our part in turning the fashion industry from a linear economy to a Circular economy by working with brands to produce more sustainable garment branding and packaging, produced in facilities upholding the strictest ethical values. Together we can make fashion Circular and help tackle the root causes of global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.
