The production of our items is carried out as much as possible in a responsible manner with the aim of preserving our planet while reducing the environmental impact of the fashion industry.
However, despite several simulations made to produce in France, we were forced to divide our production between Europe and Asia. For example, all of our T-shirts are produced in Portugal. The volumes of our first collection did not allow us to produce all of our pieces in Europe; we would have been forced to double or even triple the selling price of our models.
On the other hand, we try to reduce the distances traveled to transport raw materials and finished products, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to transport. This also helps support the local economy and preserve artisanal know-how.
Furthermore, by choosing sustainable and quality raw materials, such as organic cotton, linen, silk or wool, HEDES can reduce the environmental impact of its production by limiting the use of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and health.
Finally, responsible production helps ensure fair and environmentally friendly working conditions for factory employees, while offering quality products to consumers looking for sustainable and responsible alternatives.
