Unsere Fabriken in London, die Verwendung von Restbeständen und Naturstoffen sowie die limitierte Produktion zeugen von unserem Ansatz einer nachhaltigen und ethischen Produktion. Als Modemarke, die neue Produkte und Materialien entwickelt, sind wir uns jedoch bewusst, dass wir bei weitem nicht perfekt sind.

Im Folgenden erläutern wir detailliert, wie wir nachhaltige und ethische Maßnahmen in jeder Phase unseres Entwicklungs- und Produktionsprozesses umsetzen. Wir entwickeln uns ständig weiter und suchen nach Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten. Wenn Sie nach der Lektüre weitere Fragen oder Anregungen haben, schreiben Sie uns gerne eine E-Mail an hello@kandrclothing.com

K&R started as a vintage clothing brand and we use our experience with vintage clothing and the unique perspective we have gained from it to inform our design process. We have seen firsthand how fashion has evolved throughout the decades: what has been overproduced, only to be discarded a few years later, and what has truly stood the test of time. With that in mind, all of our products go through a considerate and detailed design process.

All of our garments are manufactured locally, in our London factories. Local production also means that we are able to regularly visit our factories to oversee the production process from start to finish, ensuring our products are quality checked throughout. Regular visits also mean that we maintain strong relationships with the people that work there.

All the people that work for / with us are paid fairly, at least the national living wage.

60% of the fabrics that we use are deadstock. Deadstock fabric is leftover, unused fabric from larger production runs that would otherwise go to landfill. 

Our commitment to using deadstock fabric for most of our production reduces textile waste, minimises the demand for new fabric & ensures we aren't contributing to the millions of tonnes of fabric already stored in warehouses and landfills.

As well as being deadstock, 95% of the fabrics we use are natural, with almost all our designs being made from either cotton, wool or linen.

Our fabrics, both deadstock & not, come from around the world. Where possible we try to source / produce them locally to minimise our environmental impact. We always opt to ship by boat or truck when transporting fabrics from abroad.

We produce all our items in small runs to avoid overproduction and minimise waste.

Many of our products are only available on pre-order. This allow us to judge the demand for our products before we go into production, preventing us from unnecessarily overproducing clothes that may not sell. Pre-order also allows customers to make more mindful choices about what they buy.
