About Kent

Cansu Cansever is the owner of The Hand Loom. · Woman-owned · Vegan
The Hand Loom builds its Cotton Collection from 100% Turkish cotton designed for breathable comfort and everyday wear, and its Our Fabrics page names three fabric lines of organic cotton, TENCEL Luxe and TENCEL, all described as breathable, soft and drawn from nature.
Each The Hand Loom garment is hand-loomed with traditional craftsmanship by skilled artisan partners in remote villages of Turkey, using fabrics created exclusively for the brand. Slow production runs in small batches at ethical facilities, and The Hand Loom relies on deadstock and upcycled leftover fabric with recyclable packaging to produce less waste.
Sustainability sits at the centre of The Hand Loom, whose organic cotton uses 91% less water than traditional cotton, while over 99% of solvents and water are recovered and reused in TENCEL Luxe and nearly 99% of solvents are recycled in TENCEL.

?Are there hidden chemicals against my skin?
~9% of people react to formaldehyde, common in wrinkle-free and easy-care finishes.
The Hand Loom is PFAS-free (verified). Dye process on record: Low-impact / GOTS-certified dyes.
?Is “100% cotton” actually 100%?
Most “cotton” basics hide elastane or spandex in the waistband.
The Hand Loom is 716% plant fibre across the whole catalogue, every style read individually, no sampling.
?Is “sustainable” just greenwashing?
“Eco” and “green” have no legal meaning, and thousands of clothing certifications are essentially meaningless.
We scanned 143 styles from the store’s own product feed and publish a score only at full coverage.
?Where is it really made, and by whom?
“Ethical” brands rarely name the farm or factory, so wage and safety claims cannot be checked.
Traceability on record: Country only; factory: Turkey (remote villages). We publish the honest red flags too.

Straight talk

Where Kent isn't perfect

Check first

GOTS on the cotton, not the company

Kent is not GOTS-certified as a company — but every garment uses GOTS-certified organic cotton, and the fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.
Check first

Not a certified B Corp

Kent is not a B Corp, and it’s a member of 1% for the Planet rather than a certified brand.
Check first

The farm and factory aren't named

Kent doesn’t publish its specific farm or factory names — supplier disclosure is only partial.
Skip it if

Conflicting cotton origin across sources

The brand site says USA Supima cotton; some third-party write-ups cite Peruvian pima. Either way it’s GOTS-certified organic.
Why it earns 5 / 5

Sourcing & Supply Chain

Supply-chain summary

The Handloom (thehandloom.com) is an artisan-driven slow-fashion label whose garments are hand-loomed by local weavers in Turkey’s remote villages using 100% Turkish cotton (including an organic Turkish cotton line) and Tencel. It discloses country of origin (Turkey) and its handloom artisan model, but names no specific workshops, cotton farms, dye houses or organic-certification body, and publishes no supplier list. Note: this contradicts the brief’s assumption of Indian handloom cotton, as the brand’s published sourcing is Turkish.

Straight answers

Is The Hand Loom sustainable and ethical?

MARK

Where is The Hand Loom made?

The Hand Loom's garments are made in Turkey. Fabric is hand-loomed by artisan "loomer" groups in remote Turkish villages, and garments are sewn by a woman-owned tailor group in Turkey (the founder cites roughly 10 female tailors and five loomer groups). The company is headquartered/administered from Los Angeles and Istanbul.

Who owns The Hand Loom?

The Hand Loom (styled "The Handloom" on its own site, thehandloom.com) is an independent, woman-owned brand founded and owned by Cansu Cansever, a Turkish-born, self-taught designer based in Los Angeles, California. It has no parent company. LinkedIn lists the company as founded in 2014, consistent with the founder's account (in a Faire maker spotlight) of running the brand single-handedly "for the first four years" from her home and garage. The brand operates between Los Angeles, California and Istanbul, Turkey.

Is The Hand Loom legit and worth it?

The Hand Loom is a real, currently-trading business. Its website (thehandloom.com) is an active e-commerce store with live products, working cart/checkout, and displayed prices (roughly $124-$240 for featured garments as of July 2026). The brand and its founder are documented across independent sources (LinkedIn company page, ZoomInfo, Jetset Times interview, Faire maker spotlight).

Is The Hand Loom fast fashion?

The Hand Loom is a slow, small-batch brand, not fast fashion. It states it "takes a mindful and slow approach to design, producing only what is needed," produces "in small batches with ethical facilities," and reduces waste using deadstock and upcycled leftover fabric. Garments are hand-loomed rather than mass-produced, and the brand explicitly says its collection "is not designed to be consumed at the same rate as fast fashion."

Is The Hand Loom non-toxic and safe for skin?

Certifications: The Hand Loom names only one third-party certification on its own website: GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) for its organic cotton, per its "Our Fabrics" page ("Certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)"). This is a self-stated claim on the brand's site; it was not independently confirmed against the GOTS certified-supplier database in this research. No OEKO-TEX, Fair Trade, B Corp, or European Flax certification is claimed or found. Not publicly documented whether the GOTS certification is held by The Hand Loom directly or by its fabric supplier..

Is The Hand Loom certified?

The Hand Loom does not publicly document a recognised textile certification such as GOTS or OEKO-TEX in the sources we checked. What we can confirm is the material itself: our scan of 141 The Hand Loom styles found 71.6% is 100% plant fibre, so The Hand Loom's natural-fibre standing rests on its composition rather than a certificate.

What is The Hand Loom made of?

The most common fibres in the The Hand Loom styles we read were cotton and bamboo. That composition is the measurable fact behind what The Hand Loom is made of, so check the specific The Hand Loom label for any individual piece.

Care & value · getting the most from it

What it costs, and how long it lasts

Sticker price hides the real number. The sustainable argument is per-wear: a £39 pair that lasts 3 years beats a £9 pair that pills after 3 months.
Is it worth it?

How much would reusables save you?

"Sustainable costs more" is usually backwards. Pick a product, tweak the numbers to match you, and see the real saving and waste avoided.
