Alessandra Et Bridgette Sustainability Actions

Uses certified suppliers

The brand says it works only with manufacturers that provide a living-wage ratio, a safe workplace, and fair working conditions. It also says it uses certified suppliers for welfare standards and that its factories are personally inspected by the founder during visits to China. The brand names several standards linked to animal welfare and farming, including the Good Cashmere Standard, the Responsible Wool Standard, and the SFA x ICCAW Cashmere Goat Welfare Code of Practice. These are rules or checks meant to improve animal care, land use, and worker conditions.

Reduced packaging waste

The brand says it has changed some of its packaging to cut plastic use. It now uses plastic-free, compostable garment bags and packing tape, and says the garment bags are dyed with water-based ink and are landfill friendly. It also says shipping labels are printed on recycled paper. In plain terms, this means it is trying to make the materials around each order easier to break down or reuse, instead of sending more plastic waste to landfill.

Recycles and reuses textile waste

The brand says it uses Upparel, a service that takes excess fabric, faulty items, and unsaleable garments and then sorts, recycles, and upcycles them. It also says it has an outlet store that sells samples, old-season stock, and faulty items at lower prices so they do not go to waste or end up in landfill. This shows a practical effort to keep materials in use for longer and reduce textile waste.

Donates clothing to charities

The brand says it donates excess samples and surplus stock to women’s organisations, including Wear for Success. It says this group helps women who are facing financial hardship by providing clothes for job interviews and supporting social inclusion. The brand also says it contributes to the charity’s warehouse sales. This is a social action as well as a waste-reduction step, because it gives unused clothing a second life while supporting women in need.
