Introducing
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability.... As with all good sounding things you got to make sense out of it. So please sit back and relax, because we do this the POAN way. The Tripartheid of Sustainability in Chapters
SOCIAL
When I embarked on my mission to build POAN - PEOPLES OF ALL NATIONS - it was clear to me that the epicentre of the production would be in Florence.
We focus on working with small, often family run artisan factories in Italy, with whom we have strong and personal relationships. This helps us to not only guarantee the superior quality of our luxury products, but also to know that good work environments are in place.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The majority of our high-end packaging, which we reuse in house, is sourced sustainably and is recyclable. We reduce waste in a number of ways ranging from taking a ”handmade” approach in cutting and pattern cutting to reworking leftover stock fabrics from the industry and reinterpreting our own stock.
We make Limited Edition runs of our pieces, especially for our LOVE STORY collections which are "semi-couture" as we make 3-7 repetitions for each design. So if the fashion industry are the Goliath, we are the David of high fashion.
ETHICAL
POAN loves animals (our founder Georg is a vegetarian himself). As such, we never use fur, leather or feathers in any of our products.
