Leila Hafzi Sustainability - SustainabilityTracker.com

Leila Hafzi is a womenswear brand established in 1997, known for bridal and red carpet gowns. Its website describes the brand as developing work, sustainable production and high-end fashion since 1997, with an ethical- and eco-conscious approach. The brand says it has highlighted environmental issues, worked on an environmentally friendly production cycle, and built production in Kathmandu, where fashion business and developing work go hand in hand. Good On You notes that the brand does not publish sufficient relevant information about its environmental policies and gives it a low overall sustainability rating.

Established ethical production

The brand, LEILA HAFZI, came to in Stavanger, Norway in 1997. On the scene of high-end fashion, a new voice was born and the ethical- and eco-conscious trade found a future leading lady.

Production in Kathmandu

The trans-cultural collaboration of the LEILA HAFZI-team makes the impossible possible in the hazy and mostly chaotic production site of Kathmandu - where fashion business and developing work goes hand in hand in a way no other high-end brand can display.

Highlighted environmental issues

In a sensual, elegant manner, cultures have been explored and environmental issues highlighted. In this way the designer has contributed and inspired the fashion industry into a global shift.

Environmental production cycle

Our work to establish an environmental friendly production cycle continues. Through years of first hand experience on working in a developing country, we see that we have come far. And although there are still lengths to go, we are confident that we will get there, overcoming the challenges, one at a time.

Women and globalization

Back in 1997 few fashion brands talked about globalisation, empowernment of women and ethical and eco conscious production from a developing country. The aim to establish this has been a core mission of the entrepeneur Leila Hafzi since she first started her production in Kathmandu, September 1997.
