Continuous learning and collaboration are the foundations of our sustainability approach, which is why we are members of several leading organizations within the fashion industry and beyond. Certifications are also important elements of our work: they reflect our efforts to source materials that minimize harm to the environment, animals and people and help us ensure that our pieces are made to the highest standards.
