In a global market dominated by mass manufacturing, the label “Made in Spain” has become a mark of quality. But the truth is that this label does not always reflect the full reality of the production process. Many garments labelled as “Made in Spain” are only designed or assembled here, while most of their manufacturing takes place in other countries.
At ZD Zero Defects, we are committed to complete transparency. When we say a garment is 100% Made in Spain, it means every single step happens here. This article explains what that really entails, why it matters, and how to identify genuine local production.
🇪🇸 “Made in Spain”: Between Marketing and Reality
In the textile industry, it is common to find garments labelled “Made in Spain” where only part of the process actually takes place in the country.
A piece may be designed in Spain but produced abroad, or made with imported fabrics and merely assembled locally.
This ambiguity makes it harder for consumers to understand the true impact of their purchase and creates a false sense of proximity.
⭐ The 3 Core Guarantees of a Truly 100% Made in Spain Garment
To be considered genuinely manufactured in Spain, a garment must meet three essential principles:
- Full Local Production
From selecting raw materials to design, cutting, sewing and finishing, every stage must take place within Spain.
This ensures full traceability, strict quality control and responsible production.
- Fair and Dignified Working Conditions
Local manufacturing allows for direct oversight of labour conditions, ensuring fair wages, safety standards and an ethical production model.
- Environmental Responsibility and Traceability
Producing locally helps reduce transport-related emissions and promotes the use of natural, sustainable fibres, aligned with slow fashion values.
🧵 What Sets ZD Zero Defects Apart?
At ZD Zero Defects, all our garments —underwear, camisoles and socks— are designed, cut, sewn and packed in our factory in Mataró (Barcelona), where the brand was born in 1920.
This artisanal model allows us to:
- Maintain rigorous quality control in every stitch.
- Ensure ethical working conditions and a highly skilled team.
- Work with premium fibres such as soy fibre and organic cotton, natural materials that are soft, hypoallergenic and sustainable.
