These costs include the fabric and yarn as well as buttons, zipper and rubber bands. Part of our products has comparatively low material costs, because only fabric and yarn are used in production. Other products additionally include buttons, zippers and rubber bands, accordingly the cost of material increases. The cost of the material also depends on the quality of the fabrics. For example, a normal jersey fabric made of organic cotton (like our Iconic T-Shirt) is cheaper than the Tencel Lyocell fabric we use for our Long Cardigan. We offer sizes S-XL and 36-42. According to the size, the fabric and ingredients consumption varies. We always give the average price here.

This is the price we pay the Eyes of Light Seamstresses to produce the particular garment. We value people over growth and profit, that's why we always pay attention to living wage and not just minimum wage. In Ghana, the minimum wage in 2022 will be GHS 13.53 per day (1,96 €). According to Trading Economics' global macro models, the living wage in Ghana will be about GHS 680.00/month (94,96 €) in 2021. We want to pay an additional 15-20% on top of the living wage. That will be around 5,60 € per day, three times more than the minimum wage per day.

Include the transportation of goods, fees and packaging costs.

These costs include the expenses for sampling, operations and maintenance, insurance, our website and marketing. Since we have to pay production costs (like fabrics/yarn/sampling etc.) in advance, these costs allow us to invest in future products. Fairness applies to all contacts we have with NAO Studios. With these costs we can pay fairly all the people involved - designers, photographers, freelancers and consultants.
