WHAT MAKES HARPER LAVOIR A SUSTAINABLE BRAND?

Addressing the Fashion Waste Crisis: Harper Lavoir's Commitment to Sustainable Practices

The fashion industry produces approximately 92 million tons of textile waste each year, encompassing unsold inventory, production byproducts, and discarded post-consumer garments. With 100 billion clothing items manufactured annually, the root of the issue lies in the production of low-cost items made from substandard materials in facilities that often exploit labor and prioritise cost-cutting over quality.
At Harper Lavoir, we are dedicated to reversing this trend by implementing high-quality, sustainable practices. Here are 10 strategies we are following to create high-quality, sustainable garments:
  1. Ethical Sourcing: We meticulously select materials from suppliers who adhere to ethical and sustainable practices, ensuring every fabric aligns with our environmental and social values.

  2. Quality Over Quantity: Instead of mass-producing garments, we focus on creating limited, high-quality collections that are timeless and durable.

  3. Eco-Friendly Fabrics: We prioritise the use of organic, recycled, and biodegradable materials that have a lower environmental impact throughout their lifecycle.

  4. Responsible Manufacturing: Our production processes are designed to minimise waste, reduce water usage, and lower carbon emissions.

  5. Fair Labour Practices: We ensure that all workers involved in our supply chain are paid fair wages and work in safe, respectful environments.

  6. Waste Reduction: We implement cutting-edge technology to optimise fabric usage, significantly reducing offcuts and production waste.

  7. Timeless Design: Our designers create versatile pieces that can be worn in multiple ways, encouraging customers to invest in fewer, better items.

  8. Transparency: We provide full transparency about our production processes, from material sourcing to final product, allowing customers to make informed choices.

  9. Sustainability Pillars: Every business decision is guided by our commitment to Animal Welfare, Human Well-being and Environmental Stewardship.

  10. Sustainable Packaging: All our packaging is made from recycled and biodegradable materials, further reducing our environmental footprint.

By implementing these strategies, Harper Lavoir is not only producing exquisite, high-quality garments but also contributing to a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry.
