Maison 123

Maison 123 is owned by Etam Groupe.

Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Maison 123 “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It offers clothing recycling to consumers to help address end-of-life textile waste.
• It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use. 

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Maison 123 “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It partly traces its supply chain, including the final and some of the second production stages.
• There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
• It audits some of its supply chain, including all of the final production stage.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Here we rate Maison 123 “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, down, and yak.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional cashmere, wool, and mohair.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
• It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Maison 123 “Not Good Enough” overall.
