EVERYTHING. SUSTAINABLE
It’s really that simple!
In the future, we aim to only design products and packaging with sustainable materials.
This includes redesigning our current products as well.
We are currently testing to use only recycled polyester rmanufactured from used PET bottles.
Using only environmentally-friendly recycling process

PROJECT: ZERO
Nothing goes to waist
Each year, we have an outlet sale where we sell returned items, samples, prototypes, and some products that have minor damage. We do this because we believe in reducing waste, unlike many larger fashion brands. By offering these items at a discounted price, we can give them a second chance instead of throwing them away. Our outlet sale is very popular and typically draws hundreds of people waiting in line on the opening day.

REDUCE SHIPPING
European distribution & Norwegian shipping center is open.
We aim to make shipping to you faster and as local as possible. Thats why we are opening more local distrubtion centers. This will allow us to avoid using carbon-intensive shipping methods when possible and to open distribution centers around the world to reduce the impact of final mile shipping."
We’re doing everything we can,
But we can’t do it alone...
Check out our advice on how to reduce your fashion footprint.
Here are some ways you can be more sustainable when it comes to your clothing:
Wash your clothes on a lower temperature to save energy.
Repair items instead of throwing them away and buying new ones.
Look for clothing from sustainable brands when shopping.
Air dry your clothes instead of using a dryer.
Only buy items that you truly love and will use frequently.
Donate, sell, or recycle clothes that you no longer want or need."
