Material use
from gemstones to textile fibres, from glass beads to paper
Our collections are made of different types of materials. From gemstones to textile fibers, from glass beads to paper. These all have their own impact on the world and on the people who work with them.
To increase the share of low-impact materials, we require our producers to be transparent about the type of materials they work with.
Also their (sub) suppliers who provide them with the materials, and the county of origin of those materials.
This is especially important for those materials that carry a certain human rights or environmental risk.
Together with our suppliers, we are working to increase the proportion of low-impact materials that are traceable to the source. This way we have a positive impact on everything in the production chain.
