Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Womsh “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • Its leather is [LWG] certified.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Womsh “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in the European Union, a low/medium risk region for labour abuse.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • It visits its suppliers.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Here we rate Womsh “It's a Start”. These are a few issues influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather.
  • It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Womsh “It's a Start” overall.
