Materials & Sustainable Ideals
Sustainability
We enforce reduction of paper waste in pattern making as well as in our cutting process of our fabrics. We only produce upon demand and do not carry large amounts of inventory that could potentially end up in waste. We always try to find the best materials that are durable and certified sustainable. We continue to look out for innovative materials to reduce our use of polyester in our fabrics.
We love to be transparent about the materials we use on our garments. As a vegan brand we don’t use leather EVER or any other material that derives from an animal. That is why we are PETA certified vegan. We continuously push our boundaries to be able to create beautiful products that are not harmful to our environment. For our vegan leather materials we use water-borne and solvent-free polyurethanes, using less energy and water and no solvents to create these fabrics. We are aware that the synthetic substitutes we use may have some environmental issues. However, according to EP &L standards and regulations, the majority of the impact associated with synthetic fibers is due to processing oil into yarn. We are researching and working on more alternative ways to diminish the effect of these substitute materials.
We are working to reduce the environmental impacts of our metal consumption by looking into low-impact, recycled or recyclable metals for our buttons and zippers. We use no lead, nickel or zinc in our zippers and buttons. Only nickel-free aluminium.
