• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
• It follows a slow fashion model such as limited production runs and seasonless products.
• Its packaging is recyclable.
• It claims to use Leather Working Group certified tanneries but doesn’t specify details about its certification.

• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

• It appears to use leather.
• A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional leather.
