PHILOSOPHY

SUSTAINABLE FASHION

ÀMonBelAmour, a sustainable slow fashion brand, was born from the vision of crafting elegant, timeless, trend-transcending apparel for the contemporary woman. Rooted in artisanal excellence and environmental responsibility, we weave our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint into every stitch. Upholding fair labor practices, utilizing upcycled and eco-friendly textiles, and operating with an innovative preorder system that minimizes waste, each garment embodies our dedication to sustainable fashion without compromise.

FABRICS

UPCYCLED AND SUSTAINABLE

The fashion industry accounts for 20% of the world's water waste and 10% of global carbon emissions, yet 85% of fabrics created each year end up in landfills or incinerated. Not only does this result in disastrous environmental consequences by polluting our land and oceans, but it is also a waste of unspoiled, high-quality fabrics that can be crafted into beautiful garments and given a loving home.

This is where we come in as "treasure hunters." Our travels take us worldwide, discovering new cultures and ateliers while perusing through endless rolls of these beautiful, diverse textiles, selecting and giving them a second life.

In addition to utilizing upcycled fabrics, we collaborate closely with small, family-owned textile companies specializing in producing high-quality, sustainable fabrics. This steadfast commitment to sustainability ensures the durability and longevity of our apparel while minimizing our environmental impact.

LABOR EXCELLENCE

WAGES AND WORK SAFETY

Fast fashion has allowed us to buy and own more clothes than previous generations. We buy excessively to keep up with the ever-changing trends and discard almost as quickly as we purchase. We don't ask ourselves why trends are accessible at such low costs. The answer lies in the reduction of production costs, cheap quality garments, unlivable wages for garment workers, and disastrous consequences on our planet. With more thoughtful production comes the ability to hire skilled Chinese laborers and artisans and provide fair wages and safe working conditions for our team. With our dedication to honest and ethical labor practices, ÀMonBelAmour is committed to being part of the solution, not the problem.

REDUCING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

Fashion industry waste occurs at several production stages, from pattern cutting to excess fabric and packaging. We have adopted a zero-waste approach to eliminate textile waste in every aspect of our production by not only diverting waste created by fashion houses but also by transforming our luxurious fabric remnants into hair accessories, our cardboard waste into paper, and by donating the small of textile surplus that we cannot reuse amount to a company that repurposes them to make padding for sports equipment. We aim to ensure that zero-waste practices extend beyond the production cycle. With the use of high-quality fabrics and careful attention to detail, we prioritize the skillful crafting of our garments to ensure longevity and to encourage our customers to re-wear their clothes for years to come, reducing the need for constant replacement and minimizing waste.
