SUSTAINABILITY IS A WAY OF LIVING
Our Values
Our commitment is woven into everything we do.
Materials that Matter
We only use natural and naturally derived fabrics such as cotton, silk, hemp, linen, wool, alpaca, Tencel and viscose, prioritising the use of materials that are gentle on the planet.
Our suppliers provide OEKO-TEX certification for harmful substance testing or provide GOTS organic textiles certification, and we carefully select AZO-free dyed fabrics.
We incorporate recycled materials into our processes and practices, and up-cycle whenever possible.
Our materials are primarily sourced from the UK, Austria, Italy and other European countries, minimising our carbon footprint and ensuring quality excellence.
Made to Order - Made with Purpose
Alongside our ready-to-wear womenswear collections, we are thrilled to have recently introduced made-to-order styles. By offering this service we actively reduce waste and minimise excess inventory. Instead of creating surplus products, we ensure that each item is specifically created for you. This promotes a more efficient use of resources.
Supporting Local - Impacting Global
We manufacture locally in South West London, ensuring the highest standards of quality and a low carbon footprint, while keeping essential know-how and employment in the UK.
Through strong long-term relationships with our UK-based local manufacturing partners, we have managed to reduce unnecessary waste, shipping delays and production issues.
By maintaining local production, we can guarantee ethical practices, no child labour and living wages for our highly skilled workers, creating fair and responsible products.
Turning Waste into Opportunity
We strive to ensure that no material goes to waste. Our fabric offcuts are made available for student projects, events, and social initiatives. Recently, we hosted a workshop at the Platform Store, where we used leftover yarn to create pom-pom Christmas ornaments and wreaths, while sharing insights about our materials and sustainability practices. For more information or to make a request, please contact our office via email at info@gundahafner.com.
Any remaining materials are collected and recycled responsibly by First Mile, further reducing our environmental impact.
It’s Time to Think Outside the Box
We are committed to using minimal packaging for efficiency and to reduce waste. You won’t find a box within a box. Our packaging is made from recycled and recyclable cardboard, our cards are crafted from recycled paper, and so are the clear sleeves and brown paper shopping bags. By taking these steps, we are contributing to more eco-friendly measures, while ensuring your order arrives safely.
