We find these tags interesting because of their organic looks and eco-friendly materials. The neutral coloured backgrounds allow freedom to play with the fonts and colours, as well as to add texture and other materials on them. Ideally we would like to use excess materials to create the tags, but it would most likely turn out to be expensive and time-consuming.

Some of the tags have either texture on them or added elements, such as the KELE Clothing tag with the wooden face. This tag is also handy as yo untick the correct size on the tag. This allows the retailer to order a larger batch of similar labels and use them for many different item and sizes, therefore reducing the cost, packaging material and carbon footprint of the tags.

We want to keep our production line as transparent as possible, and find it important to tell the story of the garment to the customer. We could print the origins of the materials to these tags, and if in the future we decide to start producing some of our designs outside our studio, we would add the name of the person and the factory to the swing tag. We believe it is important to give credit to the creative people making the clothes.
