Sustainable energy and waste

All of our locations, distribution centres, and headquarters are heated with sustainable mechanisms (by means of a heating pump or district heating). We also make use of LED lighting and completely separate waste streams in all of our locations.

Avoiding overproduction

Because of sustainability reasons, we try not to overproduce. When we have a new item in our collection, we start with a base number of items for in our stores and webshop. Only when the demand gets higher than the supply, do we start to produce more. In this way, we try to make sure that overproducing will be limited.

Fur-free policy

In our collection, we make no use of fur and maintain a fur-free policy. We are affiliated with "Fur for Animals" a fur-free company.

Factory social audits

The factories that we work with have authorised social audits, such as the BSCI audit. This means that the working conditions are good and safe. Think of: a clean workplace, normal working times with breaks, employees get a normal salary, and factories have air conditioning.

We've already supported the following charities: War Child, het Vergeten Kind, Free a Girl and JustDiggit.
