Supply chain labour standards

Since becoming a member in 2022, we've adopted their internationally recognised base code of labour standards as the foundation of our own code of conduct, particularly focusing on protecting workers’ rights. Our internal teams undergo responsible purchasing practice training by the ETI, ensuring our sourcing methods remain ethical, fair, and transparent. Our SEDEX membership further reinforces our commitment to responsible supply chain management, enabling us to engage in global auditing programs that provide both insight and accountability.

Circularity and packaging

In our commitment to preventing materials or garments entering landfill, we recycle or donate our fabrics and trims from our head office to charities and partner with certified recycling agencies such as Recorra. We donate all unsold sample sale pieces to New Life, a charity supporting disabled and terminally ill children and their families. Our packaging is made from recycled, recyclable or reusable materials, including our ME+EM tote bag, crafted entirely from recycled plastic bottles. Our lookbooks are printed on PEFC certified paper from responsibly managed forests and controlled sources and 100% recyclable.
