## Sustainability story

We believe that if we all try to Make A Positive Choice we can create positive change in the world. We are always and forever a vegan company. We don't believe in doing something to protect animals whilst harming humans and the planet. Our collections are made in Italy & Portugal under European Union employment, discrimination and health & safety law. We use sustainable materials as much as possible including bio-based vegan leather, natural and recycled materials. We operate a plastic-free carbon neutral supply chain using sustainable materials. Everything we make and do is carbon neutral since 2016. When your purchase is at its end of use, for a small charge, you can return it to us to be recycled. We don't discount or go on sale.
