Behno Where luxury design meets ethical thinking BY MICHAEL DAKS
b
ehno is a NYC-based handbag company whose goal is to bring ethics and sustainability to fashion and to set a new standard in manufacturing for the industry, specifically the way garment workers are treated. They call it ‘The behno Standard’. This ethos is broken down into six categories: health, garment worker mobility, family planning, women’s rights, worker satisfaction & benefits, and eco-consciousness. On 24 April 2013, the collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, which housed five garment factories, killed at least 1,132 people and injured more than 2,500. Most of these were women earning less than $1 a day.
