Sustainability at Fashionroots.ca

At Fashionroots.ca, managed by IAM Fashion Consulting, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's the foundation of everything we do. Drawing inspiration from leaders in slow, ethical fashion like Lora GENE, we’ve embedded eco-consciousness in every aspect of our brand.

🌱 Materials & Waste Management

• Made-to-order model: Most of our collections are produced only when you place an order, minimizing surplus and eliminating excess inventory—a practice embraced by sustainable brands like Lora GENE thethinkingwatermill.com+15loragene.com+15loragene.netlify.app+15.

• Natural-first fabrics: Over 95% of our materials are natural—organic cotton, linen, wool, silk—sourced from certified suppliers (e.g., OEKO‑Tex, GOTS). For functional finishes like pleats or stretch, we use recycled synthetics (e.g., recycled polyester, Tencel) only when necessary .

• Zero-waste pattern cutting: We design to reduce textile waste, and any offcuts from tailoring are upcycled into accessories (scrunchies, scarves, patches).

🌍 Ethical & Transparent Sourcing

• Certified supply chains: We collaborate exclusively with OEKO‑Tex and GOTS certified mills and factories to ensure materials and processes meet the highest environmental and social standards loragene.com+1loragene.netlify.app+1.

• European craftsmanship: Our fabrics—silk from France and England, wools and cottons from Italy, linens from Bulgaria—are carefully chosen to maintain traceability and reduce transport emissions.

• 

🔄 Circular & Conscious Care

• Durable-by-design: Each garment is crafted with longevity in mind—from strong seams and timeless design to quality fabrics—so you can wear it season after season.

• Gentle garment care: We provide care guides (e.g., cooling washes, line drying) to extend the lifespan of your clothing.

• Repair & recycle incentives: Soon, we’ll introduce a take-back program that offers discounts for returning used Fashionroots items for repair, resale, or recycling.

💡 Sustainability in Action

1. Resource-efficient design: Following sustainable design principles—using low-impact materials and designing for reuse—aligns us with best practices in eco-fashion loragene.com.

2. Materials traceability: We stay aligned with evolving standards like the Higg Index to measure and report our environmental impact en.wikipedia.org+2en.wikipedia.org+2redressdesignaward.com+2.
