What is Tamga Designs?
Tamga Designs is a Canadian womenswear brand co-founded by Yana Barankin and Eric Dales. The founders moved to Bangladesh in 2013 and built the brand gradually, developing their supply chain from the bottom up so they could account for every step of production.
Products and positioning
The brand offers tops, skirts, dresses and accessories in sizes XS to 2XL. Its collections rely on lower-impact fabrics:
- TENCEL and ECOVERO fibres
- Viscose from eucalyptus and beechwood forests certified by FSC and PEFC
Sustainability
Tamga Designs has taken the CanopyStyle Pledge, committing to protect ancient and endangered forests through its fabric sourcing, and partnered with the Sumatran Orangutan Society on a forest conservation campaign. A tool on its website, The Good Stuff, compares the water, energy and emissions impact of each piece with a conventional viscose garment. The rating platform Good On You rates the brand Good.
Why it matters
Tamga Designs illustrates how a small direct-to-consumer label can make material sourcing and impact data part of the product offer itself.
