Diligent UK
ABOUT US
Our brand mission is to offer our customers ‘elegant simplicity’ with a range of discretely branded premium apparel. Whether its our 100% organic cotton T-Shirts or our use of recycled polyester in our hoodies and sweatshirts sustainability is also at the heart of our goal.
Diligent is led by its co-founders who formed the company in 2020 when noticing a gap in the market for understated premium clothing that doesn’t cost the earth. With a combined background in retail fashion and corporate clothing they offer a wealth and diverse range of experience and shares the same core values that matches Diligent.
The Process
A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE
Our manufacturers, carefully selected for the quality of their know-how, their production, their great respect for the employees' working conditions, and their total commitment to our values. We work with only 7 factories to maintain a privileged relationship. Our 19 local employees based in Dhaka work together with them every day. Many of whom sell our collection, our decorators promote our brand, personalise our models, and place their trust in us. Without our T-shirts, sweatshirts, polo shirts, dresses, etc., the final customers would not exist.
COMFORT, DURABILITY AND QUALITY
Quality, durability and comfort are part of our DNA. Each fabric is chosen with incredible attention and meets strict criteria, including softness. 100% of the cotton used by Diligent is organic cotton. As for our polyester, it is mainly recycled polyester for the circular economy. Every Diligent product will last for a long time and is assembled and finished to perfection.
Our path to Sustainability
From words to action
We are open about who we work with
For us, transparency is critical, which is why we publish the names and contact details of all our suppliers. At present, we work with only five partner factories in Bangladesh and one in China, helping us build supportive, long-term and collaborative relationships with all of them. Diligent is currently supporting factories to open grocery shops inside their walls to improve worker livelihoods.
We are conscious of our environmental impact
At Diligent, we work closely with our suppliers to source only the best raw materials grown or produced in ways that do not harm people, animals or the environment.
