Supplier Standard
Quality does not end at the surface of an object. The House intends to know who makes its work, where it is made and which risks sit behind the material.
Before onboarding
A strategic supplier should not be selected only on price, speed or sample quality. The House intends to document ownership, production location, relevant subcontracting, material origin, certifications where applicable and major human-rights or environmental risk before long-term commitment.
Subcontracting
Undisclosed subcontracting weakens traceability. Relevant subcontractors should be disclosed where they materially affect manufacturing, finishing, labour conditions, material processing or environmental impact.
Labour and safety
Suppliers should meet the House human-rights standard, including freely chosen work, lawful age, safe conditions, non-discrimination, lawful working time, pay and access to a grievance route.
Environment and materials
Where a process has meaningful water, chemical, waste, biodiversity or climate impact, the House should require evidence proportionate to the risk. Certificates may support the record but do not remove the need to understand what is actually produced and where.
Corrective action
A supplier issue should be recorded with owner, deadline and evidence of correction. Immediate exit may be appropriate for severe misconduct, but automatic termination is not a substitute for remedy when the House can responsibly help correct harm.
Current status
This page defines the future standard. It does not claim that L’INCONNU currently operates a mature audited global supplier network. Supplier lists, audit statistics and traceability percentages should be published only once real production creates them.
