Our Sustainable UK Manufacturing
Where Your Tee Comes From Matters: Meet Colourways Textiles
When we started HealthyTee, we knew we didn’t want to go down the usual route. Fast fashion, overseas factories, and zero transparency just weren’t options. We wanted every part of this brand to reflect care, quality, and integrity. That starts with how our T-shirts are made.
That’s why we partnered with Colourways Textiles.
A Leicester-Based, Family-Run Business Since 1972
Colourways Textiles is a third-generation textile manufacturer based right here in Leicester. They’ve been in the game since 1972, building a reputation for high-quality garment production that’s lasted more than 50 years. Still run by the same family today, the team at Colourways combines deep knowledge of the craft with a hands-on approach to modern, ethical manufacturing.
When we visited their facility, we saw that heritage in every detail. From the cutters and machinists to the press operators and finishers, every item is made with precision and pride. No shortcuts. No compromises.
UK Manufacturing Matters
It’s important to us that your T-shirt doesn’t just look and make you feel good but also comes from a place that treats people fairly and supports the local economy. By working with Colourways, we’re helping sustain skilled jobs in Leicester and investing in the future of UK-made clothing.
That means: Shorter supply chains, fair wages and working conditions, better oversight and accountability, and a real relationship between us and the people who make our product
A Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
We’re proud that every HealthyTee is produced locally in small, mindful batches. By working this way, we reduce waste, lower our carbon footprint, and maintain a high standard at every stage. Colourways shares that commitment. They’re experts in jerseywear and have helped us get the shape and fit of our tees exactly right with no guesswork and no mass production flaws.
Clothing That Tells the Right Story
We could’ve gone overseas. We could’ve gone cheaper. But that’s not what HealthyTee is about.
We’re here to make something better, something you can feel proud to wear. And it starts with working with the right people.
