Brand Questions

Does ONDU use affiliate links?

Yes, ONDU may use affiliate links for some of the products featured on our platform. This means that when you click through from ONDU to a brand's website and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This commission helps support the ongoing operation of ONDU, including the research, curation, and editorial work that goes into maintaining our product directory.

Importantly, affiliate relationships never influence which brands or products we feature. Our curation process is based entirely on fabric quality, natural fiber content, transparency, and ethical production standards. We would never add a brand to ONDU solely because they offer a favorable affiliate commission, and we will never remove a brand because they do not. Editorial integrity is foundational to the trust our users place in us.

We believe in full transparency about our business model. If you have questions about how ONDU generates revenue or how we maintain editorial independence, we are always happy to discuss it. Our priority is being the most trustworthy resource for natural-fiber product discovery.
