A long-standing commitment
We strive to continuously increase the number of RESPONSIBLE products in our collections, and regularly launch innovative and more sustainable product solutions. Through the use of climate-friendly processes, we work to reduce our ecological footprint. Alongside our commitment to using a greater percentage of more sustainable materials, stands our long-term dedication to ethics and to safeguarding social and animal welfare.
Animal Welfare
Our materials are chosen according to strict criteria, and we adhere to recognized standards for animal and species protection. We do not use farmed fur, and only use leather from sheep, goats, cattle and buffalo that is created as a by-product of the food industry. Furthermore, we only use down that is obtained without live plucking and forced feeding, and do not use any angora wool.
Responsible chemical management
Together with our suppliers, we ensure that our products are free from dangerous chemicals
Environmental protection
We are improving our environmental footprint with environmentally and climate-friendly processes. Energy from renewable energies, sustainable architecture, and considerate handling of resources are just some of the measures we are undertaking to achieve this goal.
