these two industry execs want to transform textile manufacturing
Two department store executives launched a mission --
This shows that even the biggest players in the retail industry are beginning to realize a new business model.

America-based home linen companies are entering the growing space for carefully sourced bedding.

Patti Bernstein and Margaret Wakeland have set up a luxury market for cotton bedding and think there is more room on the market.
\"We will pursue a modern casual look inspired by brands such as repaired hardware at a more affordable price,\" Bernstein said . \".
In addition to the price, there are some differences: Unlike many of their peers, Bernstein and weicran source cotton from Egypt rather than India.
Bernstein said they have not used organic cotton so far, although they plan to use organic cotton in 2019.
The focus is more on transparency in manufacturing, which happens in women\'s factories in India --

Added Bernstein.
Both women have worked at Macy\'s to understand how the global supply chain operates and engage with suppliers to participate in textile manufacturing.
This enables them to lay the foundation for the company.
Bernstein, who served as senior vice president of Macy\'s, has been working at the company since 2002, said she saw a shift in retail from brickand-
Mortar online, now for more purposes-driven brands.
Wakeland, vice president of Macy\'s department store, saw and shaped this evolution in the retail industry, managing the department store\'s omni-channel strategy in textiles.

Although the thread is not the only organic cotton bedding brand, it is hoped to have an impact on as many elements as possible in its supply chain: from training women with manufacturing skills to supporting appropriate waste disposal and encouraging suppliers to invest in solar energy.
\"The recycling of water and water is right and wrong
Negotiation is possible, for example. \"Added Bernstein.
The two have a standard list of their suppliers who are reluctant to compromise in these areas.
For example, the product is made using only natural materials, including buttons made of coconut shells.
Bedding is also not packed in plastic, Wakeland added.
Instead, these sheets are packed into waste on the production line, which has been converted into cloth bags.
Even the packaging made by the supplier is maximized to take advantage of the space and reduce the number of packaging materials used. Being a female-

The founders have found suppliers who want to push women to the forefront.
\"Since encouraging women to take leadership roles, more female tailors have been promoted to line supervisors and checkers,\" said Wakeland.

This is an ongoing work with a focus on \"progress\" and growth.
Some of their standards for suppliers include the transition baby to a cleaner power supply: \"One of our factory partners is also producing their own solar energy, and many of our stylish duvets are made there, \"weicran said.
