Giving Back

GIVING BACK

Local communities we are supporting through art and craft projects

DESIGN FOR LIFE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

We launched our Design for Life Mentorship program in 2020 to focus on what we can do, as a retail business, to improve the opportunities of members of marginalized communities. The initiative was continued in 2021, with the goal to support young fashion talent from Black, Asian and minority communities by offering paid internships in our Design department.

VOLUNTEERING DAYS

To encourage employees to give back to our communities, we launched our volunteering program to provide all of our team members with the opportunity to spend two paid working days a year helping at a range of charitable organizations while team building outside of the office space. In Budapest, one day has been dedicated to supporting our community by renovating a kindergarten while two days were dedicated to the creation of a herbal garden through permaculture, whereas in London, we supported a city farm in their daily activities for a day.

FABRICS DONATIONS

Reducing material waste and ensuring that our fabrics become utilized at their most is at the core of our responsible approach.

In 2021, we organized a local fabric sale for any surplus materials that we are unable to use in our collections, during which we sold more than 500 meters. All unsold surplus fabrics were donated to local theaters and design faculties of local universities (more than 400 meters).
