Good to Know
Johnstons could strengthen public supply chain transparency by publishing a detailed factory list and farm-tracing documentation; while their heritage and longevity credentials are exceptionally strong, third-party certifications (GOTS/B Corp) remain opportunities to formalize sustainability commitments that their practices likely already support.
About our research
Every brand on Oras is independently researched across five pillars: material quality, construction and craftsmanship, longevity and repairability, sustainability and ethics, and design philosophy. We use a consistent framework so you can compare brands meaningfully.
Oras does not sell products directly. We connect you to the brand's own site. We may earn a small affiliate commission, but this never influences our research or which brands we feature.
