Our Materials

TRANBE is built on a simple belief: clothes should feel natural on your skin and natural in your life. We prioritise fabrics that are breathable, gentle and timeless – especially linen and other natural-leaning blends that suit the tropical climate and everyday movement.

Together with our production partners, we carefully consider:

Natural & breathable fibers
We favour linen and cotton-based blends that allow the skin to breathe, drape softly and age beautifully with wear.
Comfort & longevity
Each fabric is chosen not only for its look, but for how it feels after a full day of moving, working, commuting, and living.
Thoughtful sourcing
Whenever possible, we work with trusted local suppliers and mills, and we are gradually integrating more certified and traceable materials as we grow.

We may not be perfect, but every collection is another step towards a wardrobe that feels good in the moment – and for a long time after.

Our Packaging

We believe that what wraps your garment matters almost as much as the garment itself. At TRANBE, we keep our packaging simple, functional and as gentle as possible on the environment.

Where possible, we:

Use paper-based or reusable packaging and keep plastic to a minimum.
Limit unnecessary layers and fillers, focusing on protection rather than decoration.
Design packaging that you can reuse, recycle or store your garments in for a longer life.

As we grow, we are continuously exploring more eco-minded options – from alternative mailers to more responsible printing and labeling – to make sure each order leaves a lighter footprint.

Our Improvements

TRANBE is a work in progress – and we want to keep it that way. We listen closely to how our garments fit different bodies and different lives, and we adjust with every collection.

Our ongoing improvements include:

Gradually refining cuts and fits so they feel flattering yet comfortable across more body shapes.
Expanding our size range step by step, as our capacity allows.
Updating patterns based on real feedback from our community – what feels right, what needs to be softer, more relaxed, or more structured.

We see every comment, return and fitting note as a chance to learn. Our goal is to make pieces that feel like they belong in your life – not just in photos.

Our Practices

Sustainability, for us, is not a label – it is a series of small, consistent choices. Here are some of the ways we put our values into daily practice:

Mindful trims & labels
We keep labels and trims minimal, and where possible, favour natural-based options over synthetic ones.
Thoughtful use of leftovers
Fabric off-cuts and remnants are set aside to be turned into small accessories, lining, or future projects instead of immediate waste.
Less is more in branding
We use hangtags mainly to share essential product information and care instructions, avoiding unnecessary branding for its own sake.
Slow, not disposable
We encourage repair, care and rewear. Whenever possible, we work with customers to extend the life of a garment – rather than replace it at the first sign of a flaw.
Considered production
We prefer small-batch and made-with-intent production, reducing overstock and helping each piece find its wearer more consciously.

These practices may look simple, but held over time, they shape a quieter and more responsible way of making clothes.

Our Initiatives

TRANBE is deeply rooted in Vietnam – in its streets, its weather, its women. As we grow, we want our work to give back to the places and people that inspire us.

We are working towards:

Collaborating with local makers and small businesses to keep value circulating within our communities.
Supporting women-centered and education-focused projects whenever possible, especially those that uplift everyday life.
Exploring ways to link our collections with small-scale charitable activities – from special pieces to shared campaigns.

Our initiatives may start small, but we hope they will grow alongside the women who wear TRANBE – quietly and steadily.

Our Team

Behind every TRANBE piece is a small team of people who care deeply about what you wear. From design to pattern-making, fittings to packing, much of our work is carried out by women who understand, firsthand, how clothes should feel in real life.

We are committed to building a workspace where:

Everyone is treated with fairness, respect and dignity.
Different voices are heard, from design ideas to feedback from the sewing floor.
We stay mindful of inclusion and accessibility, and actively work to reduce bias in how we collaborate and make decisions.
