Sustainability
At Alessandra, we are committed to making a difference and better choices where possible. Our views on ethics and sustainability steer us throughout all our practises.
The fashion industry is renowned for contributing a large volume of waste to landfill. It is because of this we strive to make choices to minimise our contribution to global waste.
At Alessandra, we are on the road to becoming plastic free. We have switched to plastic free, compostable garment bags and packing tape. Our garment bags are dyed with water based ink and are landfill friendly. Additionally, our shipping labels are printed on recycled paper. It is our mission to minimise the environmental impact of your Alessandra purchase.
This philosophy follows us into our office where sustainability continues to drive our choices. Alessandra garments are designed and manufactured with longevity in mind.
At Alessandra we endeavour to expand and sharpen our sustainability measures as we grow. We are continuously exploring how we can improve our environmental impact and strive towards a sustainable future in fashion.
We value supply chain transparency and only engage with manufacturers who provide an ample living-wage ratio for their employees, a safe work environment and follow fair work conditions. Our factories are personally inspected by Founder and Creative Director of Alessandra Cashmere – Sandra, on her frequent visits to China.
We work in collaboration with women’s charity, ‘Wear for Success,’ who work to enable women who are experiencing economic hardship to weave their way back into society. Wear for Success provides women with clothing for job interviews and aims to increase their sense of social inclusion.
We regularly donate our excess samples and surplus stock to Wear for Success as well as contribute to their warehouse sales providing them with an opportunity to profit.
