Why to buy: Karl Lagerfeld welcomes model, actress and activist Amber Valletta as co-creator of their first sustainable accessories collection. The line of essential accessories is crafted using innovative, socially sustainable materials sourced with minimal ecological impact. 

This environmentally conscious collection is part of KARL LAGERFELD’s ongoing commitment to achieving key environmental goals shared in the G7 Fashion Pact. The profits generated from the sale of the KARL LAGERFELD X AMBER VALLETTA K/Kushion will be donated to a charity that supports the goals of the Fashion Pact. 

What we love: The K/Kushion was inspired by a tailor-made cushion that Karl Lagerfeld carried on his worldly travels; few people knew about the cushion, which he had kept since his childhood, and over time it became weathered and torn. Mimicking this silhouette, the K/Kushion bag has a voluminous effect and is pillowy soft to touch.

Why to buy: R99 sneakers are ethically manufactured with vegan leather, PU. Although PU vegan leather is not 100% sustainable, it is “...found to have less than half of the environmental impacts as their animal-derived counterparts,” according to the Pulse of the Fashion Industry report (2017). R99 vegan leather is light, breathable and water resistant.

The first R99 collection focuses on three elements: versatility, simplicity and colour. Versatility: R99 is perfect for a variety of activities. It fits you, not the other way around. Simplicity: the make-up is simple yet sophisticated because, needless to say, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Colour: although Black and White are technically not colours, with black not visible in the colour spectrum - they evoke BOLD emotions! R99 combines Black and White to evoke feelings of strength, elegance, freshness and posivity.

What we love: R99 is a lifestyle of wit and grit; a story of triumph. It's a story of Mncedisi MC Siteleki, who grew up in an underprivileged township in South Africa, and had one pair of ruined shoes in University. With his first paycheck as a student assistant, he was able to afford his first pair of sneakers, which amounted to R99.99 (ZAR), approximately 6€. After moving to Norway about 9 years later, MC started his own shoe brand, calling it R99. The story behind R99 sneakers, the design and colours work together to represent a lifestyle of becoming Bolder and Better in anything and everything we do. 

Why to buy: FARAH NAZ New York is a new sustainable ready-to-wear line that also insures the perfect fit. They pride themselves on sustainable practices using recycled and eco-friendly fabrics when possible. Their recycled jeans are made from recycled fabric that uses a waterless process that reduces 96% of the water normally used in denim finishing. Their other jeans are made with organic cotton, recycled polyester and we use a cellulose fiber fabric that is derived from wood pulp.  The Cupro Silk that they use, also known as vegan silk, doesn’t contain any animal by-products, is cruelty free, low maintenance and machine washable unlike regular silk which is dry clean only using many chemicals.

They keep a limited stock of each item because they avoid mass production to maintain quality and sustainable practices.For the planet-conscious woman who wants to feel good about what she is wearing, the sustainable ready-to-wear collection is a fantastic conversation starter and head-turner. The delicate design of the collection is simple yet accomplished, with eco-friendly jeans, double silk jumpsuits, cashmere, or cupro silk outfits.

Why to buy: Lanius has crafted a beautiful, completely vegan eye-catcher: The high quality dress with tonal jacquard stripes. The mid-length dress can be gathered and tied at the side for individual tailoring. The long sleeves, the V-neckline, the organic cotton with a good grip and the timeless color make the look everlasting and grown-up. The cotton is slightly transparent, skin-friendly and comfortable to wear, even in warm temperatures.

What we love: Love fashion, think organic, be responsible—these are the maxims of LANIUS. Based on these principles, the vision of company founder Claudia Lanius is to combine eco-friendly materials with fair working conditions, feminine silhouettes and the perfect fit.
We assume responsibility for people, animals and the environment. That's why our production sites comply with social and environmental standards which are regularly checked by independent institutions and by us personally. Out of our love and respect for animals, we do not use fur. And when it comes to wool, we stick to a strict "no-mulesing" policy. Animal welfare certification (kbT) guarantees that animal husbandry is appropriate to the species; that feeding must be biologically (e.g. without genetic modification); and that fattening is forbidden and the reproduction may only occur naturally.

Why to buy: The slow fashion brand Bonjour Sérénité was founded in 2018 by Sina Reger in Potsdam and stands for sustainable styles with a French twist. Designed and made in Germany, the wrap dress is made of 100% organic cotton and the buttons are GOTS certified mother-of-peal. The silky-soft feeling envelops you and perfectly showcases your silhouette.

The dress, equally to the entire collection, is made in a fair social environment with sustainable materials, designed with a French twist keeping it classy and fresh. The collection range of easily combinable and timeless day-to-night styles with a French twist is limited, and the offcuts are used to make accessories such as scrunchies. 

What we love: Bonjour Sérénité is an ode to the mother and to all strong women!

The origin of Bonjour Sérénité can be found in the designer's early childhood, when she lost her mother at a young age and as a result grew up with her grandmother. Early on, she took control of her life.

Through the support of the female role models in her life and strengthened by female empowerment, she found her personal path to becoming a designer. To this day, she is accompanied by her mother's positive attitude to life, full of courage to go her own way, to follow her intuition and to trust in her strengths.

A limited collection range for the conscious woman is created with a high quality standard by using GOTS certified natural materials. Inspired by the memory of her late mother and photographs from numerous holidays in France, the handcrafted, classic designs embody the nonchalant serenity of French women.
