permeated the development; organic,

We are always completely transparent concerning our production and
working conditions. We are very proud to show you the wonderful
production units in India and it is a real pleasure to visit the staff!
DUNS Sweden is GOTS Certified (CU

Overtime is paid and volontary. If the heat is to strong the working
hours are adjusted. The unit has 20 permanent employees and 25 floating

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us! We would
love to tell you everything! 1.
Below you can see the
rolls of organic cotton used to produce the fabric of
DUNS Sweden garments.
2.
The machine is a very interesting piece of equipment and
it is really amazing to see the fabric filling up the
big roll at the very bottom of the machine. The fabric
is in a tube shaped form that needs to be cut open in
a later stage of the production.
3. DUNS Sweden models
showing the rolls in More than a Fling dresses.
4.
If you look closely you can see all the threads going
into the machine. The red light indicates that there are
something that is currently wrong and needs to be
checked! This machine is not moving right now hence all
red lights.
5.
In this image you can see that there are some red lights
still. When all threads ar OK you can start the machine.
If something happens with any of all the threads during
the actual knitting process the machine stops and the
problem must be solved.
6.
The finished product is rolled up and placed in these
piles for further transport.
7.
We have followed the fabric to the dyeing unit. As you
can see the dyeing process is made in closed containers
where the residue will be filtered before leaving the
production unit.
8.
Another image from the dyeing process.
9.
During the dyeing process you can watch the fabric
through small glass windows at the top.
10.
Washed, dyed (if that is the case), dried and received
at the printing unit where it has been rolled up.

32. The three musketeers...
:-)
33. We have moved on to the
embroidery. A fantastic machine that requries a very
talanted personnel.
34. Each part of the
application must be placed exactly correct before the
machine can be started.
35. This is very time
consuming. The machine makes 12 applications at the same
time. It takes about 45 minutes to complete 12 owl
applications, not counting the minutes it takes to place
all the parts that builds the owl or the preparations to
cut all the small parts before you can start.
36. Almost done!
37. Last stiches.
38. Done! 17600 stiches
later!
