Illuminati II

The company is owned by the holding company Noir Illuminati II Holding and was established by Danish fashion designer Peter Ingwersen in 2005 with the aim of ensuring socially sustainable practices by controlling aspects of the supply chain.

Local Gulu Agricultural Development Ltd trainers, who support the growing of organic cotton, supervise the harvest.

Once the cotton is spun locally in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, the yarns are transported to Turkey and woven into the final Illuminati II fabrics.

Due to extensive difficulties in finding organic yarn goods, Noir was compelled to produce its own fabrics in order to ensure all links of the supply chain could live up to the code of conduct.
