Our philosophy
What defines FYNCH-HATTON nationally and internationally are high quality, sophisticated workmanship and exciting details. And of course our drive to design collections that are special and give you the opportunity to always be perfectly dressed. Our brand is dedicated to the British Denys Finch Hatton, who skillfully combined a sense of adventure with English luxury as a safari guide, farmer and pilot in Africa at the beginning of the 20th century. At home in the world he shaped his time like few others. The umbrella acacia in our logo symbolizes this special relationship. It is the typical tree of the African savannah and therefore represents the fascination that this region has always radiated.
FYNCH-HATTON is the freedom to live your own style. But not at the expense of others. We are therefore very aware of our responsibility. Responsibility towards our employees, producers and of course our environment. Sustainability is a very important aspect of our actions. FYNCH-HATTON therefore pays attention to environmental compatibility, social aspects such as fair pay, safety at work and good working conditions when producing clothing. Long-term supplier relationships and close, long-term and fair partnerships are therefore very important to us. The inspiration that FYNCH-HATTON draws from the great continent of Africa motivates us to give something back in regular projects, for example with Welthungerhilfe.

FYNCH-HATTON products stand for high-quality use of goods. However, in the sense of the “sustainability” we practice, quality is not only recognizable in the product, but also visible throughout the entire supply chain, i.e. we know about the raw materials used and our productions, because: We take responsibility!
• We have long-term supplier relationships (sometimes longer than 20 years) and know the productions personally from the “inside”.
• We ensure that orders are not passed on to subcontractors
• We check that human rights are guaranteed according to BSCI standards
• Good working conditions, safety, the exclusion of “harmful substances” and social aspects are present in our productions
We also pay attention to the following points:
• All works are BSCI tested
• All works are subject to our Code of Conduct. Our Code of Conduct not only includes fair treatment of people, but also fair treatment of animals
• All works comply with European “pollutant law” (keyword: “REACH Regulation” (EC No. 1907/2006))
• We are socially committed as a “Partner for Africa” and support Welthungerhilfe in the construction of wells or the reactivation of wells that no longer work
• In our timing, we consider the use of slow-moving ships instead of environmentally polluting air freight and thus ensure reduced CO2 emissions
• Every employee separates their waste at their desk in our headquarters in Mönchengladbach
• Longevity, i.e. the durability of our textiles, is a crucial factor for sustainability. We do not produce disposable textiles. The return rate due to quality defects tends towards "0"
• In order to make our products durable, we pay attention to using quality yarns
• In addition, as an owner-managed company, we stand for fair treatment of our partners and reliability
• Quality in the sense of sustainability at Fynch-Hatton is not just product quality, but the qualitative consideration of the entire chain - starting with the selection of yarn up to the individual employee workstation
