Current situation:

​

It's common in the realm of fashion to make more stock than you end up selling, especially when you follow fashion seasons. This is why clearance and end-of-season sales exist, to clear out all excess from the last season to make way for the new. But for some labels and brands that don't opt for sales by design, excess stock can end up being burned or destroyed. It's a production model, and fashion norm, that is unsustainable, for brands, customers, and our planet.

Why do we choose the made-to-order mode:

​

• To minimize waste and avoid overproduction and overconsumption

• To reduce the cost and make the price more affordable 

• It allows consumers to connect with our label and the pieces, by committing to purchasing early and to the waiting period. In this way, it makes the piece more valuable, positioning fashion as a treasure, not something disposable.

• Allow us more time to communicate with our customers and better understand their needs.
