Lora GENE: How sustainable is it?
Lora GENE clothing not only stands out for its style and quality, but also because their garments are produced through an ethically conscious business model.
They operate as transparent and sustainable a supply chain as possible. Their garments are produced in Bulgaria, with around 60% of their clothing made in-house. This allows them to closely monitor and oversee the standards of production. The rest of their products are sourced from local manufacturers who are long-term partners who they visit every three months.
All of their suppliers echo the brand’s high environmental and social standards, implementing eco-friendly practices and paying their small team of employees a living wage, as well as healthcare and bonuses.
Mindful of the impact of fashion on the environment, they prioritise minimising their use of resources as well as eliminating waste in every step of the product life cycle.
In an effort to reduce their carbon footprint, they source only from Europe. They use deadstock materials made up of natural fibre materials (mainly silk and cotton, but also linen, hemp and bamboo) or source GOTS certified materials.
Lora GENE is outspoken about how the fashion industry needs to change. Read the brilliant article she penned for Live Frankly: Enough talk. Let’s start the Fashion Revolution.
