Sustainability & Transparency at Holland Street
At Holland Street, sustainability and transparency are at the heart of our business values. Inspired by the British Fashion Council guidelines, we continually remind ourselves how to remain authentic and true to these principles.
“Buy less, choose well.” – Vivienne Westwood
🌍 Sustainability – Ethics
We focus on social, environmental, and business governance to drive a more sustainable fashion future.
🤝 Equality & Diversity – People
Our values represent the people behind our brand — from product makers to staff, students, and models who pioneer our collections.
🧵 Craftsmanship & Community – Community
We support the community of talent, skills, and craftsmanship that make up our unique industry.
Decent Working Conditions
All workers, formal and informal, deserve dignity and a good livelihood. We align with the ETI Base Code to ensure fair wages, safe working hours, and healthy conditions.
Supporting Traditional Skills
Heritage and handwork sustain local livelihoods and reduce environmental impact compared to mass production. Many informal workers — often women supporting families — benefit from the revival of traditional crafts. By sourcing from artisans, skills such as handspinning, handweaving, and finishing can thrive.
British Made
We proudly manufacture in the UK, working closely with highly skilled units in and around London. Supporting British craftsmanship is essential to sustaining the talent ecosystem.
Recycling & Waste
We embrace circular design, where products are created with reuse in mind. Recycling and upcycling ensure materials live beyond their first use, reducing waste and environmental impact. At Holland Street, our minimal waste production method means very few scraps are left behind — and we’re happy to share remnants with those who’d like samples.
Looking Ahead
We are exploring more environmentally friendly materials such as organic cotton and viscose. Would this make a difference to how you shop with us?
At Holland Street, our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our luxury printed silk kimonos, kaftans, robes, and interior linens — designed with artistry, longevity, and responsibility in mind.
