Sustainability & ecology

Respect for people, the environment and society are key values at Natale. But how do we try to incorporate this in the way we work?

By opting for quality goods at fair as a starting point, we hope to contribute to enhancing the sustainability of the fashion industry. We deliberately choose to release only two collections a year and are adverse to hypes as well as overproducing. By adhering to this long-term vision we can make honest fashion that you will enjoy for many years to come and in which both the maker and the wearer take pride.

Our collections are produced without any use of child labour, in pleasant working conditions and for honest wages by audited suppliers with whom we build up partnerships with a long-term vision.

Keeping our creative, commercial and administrative departments under one and the same roof in Antwerp ensures that Natale’s environmental impact remains limited. We make every effort to minimise our ecological footprint throughout our production chain as well. This is one of the reasons why we have been sourcing more than half of what we produce from Belgian manufacturers for over 20 years. The remaining half is primarily produced in Europe.

Step by step, we aim to integrate more ecological fabrics into the collection every season – depending on the offering – while always maintaining a correct price/quality ratio.

Ecovero fabric

This season the viscose with EcoVero label is new in the collection: this natural fabric is in many ways more sustainable than the regular viscose:

• 50% lower emission and water impact compared to generic viscose
• Produced using pulp, derived from the renewable resource wood as raw material
• Transparent supply chain, assuring certainty about its origin

We used this fabric in 3 different prints for tops and dresses and feels fresh and light on your skin. A nice added value within the collection to fully enjoy summer.
