"   ANNA SINGH AND RACHAEL WOOD of Chinti and Parker have come a long way since they first started their business in a 6-foot-by-6-foot office space in London in 2009. The cousins launched the eco-conscious label\u2014named using their great-grandparents&amp;#039; first names\u2014with the goal of creating the perfect T-shirt. Today it&amp;#039;s a full ready-to-wear line, but their commitment to ethical production hasn&amp;#039;t wavered. &amp;quot;We consciously design with longevity in mind,&amp;quot; says Singh. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s all about creating classics that can remain in your wardrobe for years and years.&amp;quot; To that end, the quality of the fabric is key, so clothes are made where workers are most knowledgeable about the materials: woven cotton pieces and knits in India (where the pair has family) and Portugal, and cashmere sweaters crafted from Italian yarn on a family-run mill in Mauritius. They also work with The CarbonNeutral Company, which monitors their emissions and offsets pollutants by planting trees in different parts of the world. &amp;quot;We are moderate ethical consumers\u2014we eat organic but sometimes drive to work\u2014and that&amp;#039;s the way we choose to live,&amp;quot; says Wood. &amp;quot;So why wouldn&amp;#039;t we approach our business in the same way?&amp;quot;  1.
