Sustainability

 

Sustainability Practices:

Ethics

We create apparel and accessories for everyone to feel their best in. Making sure our collections are made in an ethical and socially responsible way is a vital part of that. 

To uphold these values, we only work with factories that abide by our Code of Conduct regarding ethical practices, health and safety standards, fair wage and workers’ rights. To make sure these guidelines are followed, all of our factories are periodically audited to uphold our mutual commitment. 

Limiting Waste

We continue to cut to order to let the demand of our products drive our manufacturing, and to minimize excess products. We are committed to being thoughtful in the formation of our collections, and are continuously working to decrease our environmental impact. We work with an innovative group of suppliers to continuously evolve our practices to be as sustainable as possible

Leather Processes

We look to processes that do not use high volumes of chemicals and water to create beautifully dyed and finished products. In addition to our tanneries are WRAP, SEDEX and BSCI certified, we utilize alternatives which have a lower impact on the environment, and we are working hard with our suppliers to put more of these practices into our collections. Such as below examples. 

CHROME-FREE TANNING
Found across some of our leather products we do chrome-free tanning. This means that the dyestuff used to tan the leather does not contain Chrome.

VEGETABLE TANNING
For some of our jackets, the leather-making process is carried out using vegetable tanning. Dyes are made from natural compounds such as nuts, fruits, tree bark, and leaves.
