sustainability
The fashion industry has come under a lot of speculation in the last years for its polluting and devastating consequences on the environment, as well as its ethics when it comes to labor.
We can’t ignore this darker side, but we can make the changes in the way we create and contribute and hopefully inspire other brands and our customers to work towards a cleaner fashion industry.
Safe and sustainable design
A positive impact
We take responsibility in all steps of the process. Our design team creates clothing that is intended to last for more than a trend season due to its contemporary nature, as well as opting for materials that have a less harmful impact.
Small steps can lead to big changes.
Certifications
We have close and positive relationships with suppliers and producers and are working towards certifications that will ensure safe and fair working conditions for those who contribute to creating Dstrezzed clothing.

Linen is a natural fabric that comes from the flax plant, a plant that grows very fast, without needing much water, fertiliser or other chemical materials. As linen comes from a plant it is a natural material, that means, it has the ability to biodegrade. Linen is very strong and can be worn for years.
Organic cotton is grown without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, making it a more eco-friendly and sustainable choice. It uses less water than conventional cotton, helps preserve soil health, and promotes biodiversity.
