Uruguayan brand La Vestiduría, recognized for its commitment to regeneration and its participation in the Latin American sustainable fashion week -Universo MOLA Fashion Week- has launched its sustainability report, marking an important milestone for this small Slow Fashion company.
In a context where environmental responsibility has become imperative in the fashion industry, La Vestiduría, founded in 2020, positions itself as an outstanding leader. Each garment produced represents more than just an article of clothing; it embodies a conscious and responsible lifestyle.
With an ethical approach to production, all clothes are made locally in Uruguay, thus promoting a more responsible way of dressing, and relating to fashion. The brand works closely with Uruguayan workshops, dressmakers, and weavers, maintaining close relationships with its suppliers and actively supporting the local textile industry. Furthermore, it guarantees meticulous attention to every detail and proper working conditions at all stages of production, reflecting its commitment to people in every garment it manufactures.
The recently released “Impact report” gives a detailed insight into the progress achieved during the season SS24, as well as setting ambitious goals for the future. It especially highlights the commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, evidencing its dedication to contribute to the achievement of global goals that are related to sustainability.
From the materials selection to the packaging design, the brand thinks carefully about the environmental impact in each aspect of its manufacturing process. In its latest collection, 28% of the garments were made from recycled materials, while 60% were made from natural materials.
Regarding specific details, fabrics such as ECONYL® and recycled cotton were used, along with Acquasave technology to reduce water consumption by 75%. In addition, its packaging is eco-friendly and uses FSC-certified paper labels. The brand also keeps its commitment to society through projects such as Remera Be Kind, allocating 15% of sales to NGO Animales sin hogar (Homeless Animals, in English).
