Transparency with Retraced

Transparency for scanning.
We create trust –
with retraced.

Every piece of clothing produced leaves a trace. Our goal is for these traces to disappear – because the material in a NIKIN garment becomes the raw material for the next at the end of its life. This is what we call Circularity.

NIKIN & retraced

For us at NIKIN, sustainability begins with trust.

For years, we have been able to count on the support of our community. We want to return this trust – with genuine transparency about our commitment to protecting nature. This is where our partner retraced comes in.

The German start-up shares our conviction that transparency should be at the heart of a sustainable fashion industry. With their platform, they enable us and other sustainable brands to make the entire supply chain visible and traceable for customers. In this way, we want to jointly create a basis for genuine trust.

It all starts with a QR code

You can find it on the labels of our NIKIN products. A quick scan takes you directly to the product page. There, with a simple click, you can see the entire supply chain of your product at a glance – from fabric processing to the TreeHouse. The transport report shows you every stop your product made on its way to you – including all sustainability certificates and awards it collected along the way.

"Transparency is
no Longer a Nice-to-Have. It's Foundational."

Lorem Ipsum

However, I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.
