We are selective with our suppliers and minimize internal energy use and waste. However, sustainability for Takaturna means much more. If you keep wearing a garment for several years and then gift it to someone else, you are not only paying us a big compliment, you are also helping keep the planet healthy.
To be completely transparent, we have evaluated each component of each garment and assigned them a percentage of sustainability. The assessments can be based, for example, on the use of recycled products or on the fact that their eventual disposal does not pollute the atmosphere. The beauty and performance aspects of fabrics, trims, dyeing and finishing are of prime importance to us, however, when we make our selection, we are always striving to improve and this is reflected in our sustainability indexing.
