DURABILITY
OUR SUSTAINABLE COMMITMENTS
AT SOFIEN ABED, WE BELIEVE IN RESPONSIBLE, COMMITTED AND MEANINGFUL FASHION. WE ARE COMMITTED TO A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH THROUGH CONCRETE ACTIONS THAT COMBINE ETHICS, CREATIVITY AND POSITIVE IMPACT.
1. CIRCULAR AND COMMITTED FASHION
WE ADOPT A SLOW FASHION APPROACH, FAVORING PRE-ORDERS AND LIMITED SERIES IN ORDER TO AVOID OVERPRODUCTION AND GUARANTEE MORE THOUGHTFUL CONSUMPTION. OUR COLLECTIONS ARE DESIGNED TO LAST, WITH TIMELESS PIECES THAT TRANSCEND EPHEMERAL TRENDS.
2. UPCYCLING AT THE HEART OF OUR DNA
WE GIVE A SECOND LIFE TO MATERIALS BY INTEGRATING REVALUED FABRICS, FROM DORMANT STOCKS OR TRANSFORMED VINTAGE PIECES. UPCYCLING IS OUR SIGNATURE: EACH CREATION IS DESIGNED TO LIMIT TEXTILE WASTE AND PUSH THE LIMITS OF ARTISANAL INNOVATION.
3. LOCAL AND ARTISANAL PRODUCTION
OUR CLOTHES ARE MADE IN FRANCE, IN INDEPENDENT AND COMMITTED WORKSHOPS. WE COLLABORATE WITH ARTISANS AND REINTEGRATION WORKSHOPS TO PROMOTE TRADITIONAL KNOW-HOW AND A POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACT.
4. RESPONSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
WE CAREFULLY SELECT ECOLOGICAL AND ETHICAL MATERIALS, SUCH AS:
- ORGANIC COTTON, LINEN AND CERTIFIED WOOL
- RECYCLED DENIM, RECLAIMED TARTAN AND SECOND-HAND VELVET
- REVALUED METAL AND CRYSTAL FINISHES
WE FAVOR SUPPLIERS WHO RESPECT STRICT ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS AND GUARANTEE RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION.
5. GENDERLESS AND INCLUSIVE FASHION
WE CREATE GENDERLESS CLOTHING, DESIGNED FOR ALL IDENTITIES AND BODY TYPES. OUR COMMITMENT IS TO PROMOTE FREE, INCLUSIVE AND EXPRESSIVE FASHION, FAR FROM THE TRADITIONAL DICTATES OF THE INDUSTRY.
6. A POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACT
WE DEVELOP TRAINING AND INTEGRATION PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT YOUNG TALENTS AND PEOPLE IN PROFESSIONAL REINTEGRATION. BY COLLABORATING WITH LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS, WE PARTICIPATE IN THE CREATION OF A SUSTAINABLE AND UNITED FASHION ECOSYSTEM.
7. A REDUCTION OF OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
WE MINIMIZE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT :
- PRODUCING LOCALLY TO REDUCE TRANSPORT AND CO₂ EMISSIONS
- REDUCING OUR WATER AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS
- LIMITING THE USE OF PLASTICS AND FAVORING BIODEGRADABLE AND RECYCLED PACKAGING
8. TOTAL TRANSPARENCY
WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING ABSOLUTE TRANSPARENCY ON OUR PRODUCTION PROCESSES, OUR SUPPLIERS AND OUR RAW MATERIALS. EACH PIECE IS TRACEABLE AND EACH MANUFACTURING STEP IS DESIGNED TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTE TO IT.
WITH SOFIEN ABED, FASHION BECOMES A COMMITMENT, A CREATIVE AND RESPONSIBLE ACT. TOGETHER, LET’S REINVENT A FASHION THAT MAKES SENSE.
