Sustainability

We care about our future

We genuinely care about the planet and our future which is why we are working hard to reduce our environmental footprint. We have employed the use of recyclable and biodegradable packaging, recycled yarns and fabrics and adapted to a slow fashion approach. We acknowledge that we still have a long way to go in this area, but we are committed to change.
