We sell clothes, so we are part of the problem. What follows is what we do about it, in the plainest terms we can manage.
The most sustainable garment is the one already in your wardrobe, and the second is the one you will still want in ten years. That is not a slogan for us; it is the buying policy. We would rather stock forty pieces that hold than four hundred that do not, and it is why the rails look sparse to anyone arriving from a department store.
Shipping is the honest gap. Same-day delivery across Athens is a courier on a scooter and we have not found a way to make that better than it is. International air freight is worse. For now we consolidate orders where we can and tell you when waiting a day would mean one van instead of two.
Cashmere is the other one. There is no version of it that is not hard on the land it comes from. We buy less of it than we could sell, from two herds in Inner Mongolia that our Italian spinner has worked with for thirty years, and we do not pretend that settles the question.
