At Merlette, the ability to create and connect inspires us, and we recognize that creation bears a huge responsibility. Here are some of the ways that we work to minimize our impact on the environment.
FABRIC PROGRAM
SUSTAINABLE COTTONS: 100% Pima Cotton is more traceable than conventional cotton and more responsibly grown along with BCI cotton for our tumbled cotton fabrics.
OEKO-TEX® CERTIFIED: All our fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances.
HAND-WASHING: Our natural fibers are able to be hand washed or machine washed on a gentle cycle, allowing you to skip dry cleaning as much as possible.
MAXIMUM USAGE: By using our own proprietary cotton fabrications every season, we avoid excess fabric waste that often ends up in landfills or as deadstock fabric.
RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING
SLOW FASHION: We support the talented artisans that are a unique and irreplaceable part of this movement.
GOOD CONDITIONS: Our artisans are paid fair wages and work in safe areas, regularly visited by labour officers.
RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURERS: Merlette personally audits our manufacturers globally by our staff to ensure that our high standards are maintained.
