SUSTAINABILITY

Our Commitment to Eco-Friendly Style

In a world where fashion often comes at a high environmental cost, we dream to practice a sustainable approach to clothing design and develop our business taking into account the impact on the environment. With a commitment to ethical practices and environmental consciousness, we want to live up to a new standard for eco-friendly fashion in Ukraine.

Fur-Free and Faux Fabrics

At Kristina Laptso, the use of natural fur is strictly off the table. Instead, the brand opts for faux fur and alternative materials that mimic the look and feel of fur while protecting animal welfare. This decision reflects a deep commitment to cruelty-free fashion and aligns with the growing global movement towards sustainable and ethical practices in the industry.

Eco-Friendly Logistics

Kristina Laptso recognizes the importance of reducing its carbon footprint. To achieve this, the brand incorporates electric cars into its daily logistics operations. By choosing electric vehicles for transportation, we are actively working to reduce pollution and decrease their environmental impact.

Handcrafted Excellence

One of Kristina Laptso's core sustainability practices is the art of handcrafting garments. Beyond the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, this approach significantly reduces electricity consumption compared to mass production methods. Each piece is created with care and precision, ensuring a level of quality that extends the lifespan of the garments.

Local Production and Responsible Practices

As a niche brand, we take pride in our responsible production methods. We actively avoid mass production, which often contributes to waste and overconsumption. Instead, the majority of our items are produced in limited quantities, with some pieces being one-of-a-kind. This approach not only reduces fashion's impact on the planet but also fosters an appreciation for unique, timeless pieces.

Empowering a Diverse Workforce

Kristina understands the importance of inclusivity and providing opportunities for all. Some of our workshop employees have relatives who are bedridden, making remote work a necessity. We embrace this diversity and offer these talented individuals the chance to contribute to the creative process from the comfort of their homes. To facilitate this arrangement, the brand has implemented a system for delivering materials and finished products between the atelier and their employees' homes, further reducing the need for commuting.

A Sustainable Vision for the Future

Kristina's commitment to sustainability extends beyond just a marketing strategy; it's a way of life. She continues to educate her workforce on sustainability policies and practices, ensuring that everyone involved in the brand's journey is aligned with their eco-conscious vision.

With each garment we create, we not only dress our clients in style but also in the values of a more sustainable future.

A Second Chance for Leather Jackets: Our Vision for Sustainable Fashion

In a world where the fashion industry often grapples with environmental and ethical concerns, we at Kristina Laptso are setting forth a visionary plan to redefine fashion through our unwavering commitment to sustainability. Our innovative strategy revolves around one amazing idea: giving a second chance to leather jackets sourced from charity shops and local second-hand stores. In our atelier, we envision breathing new life into these jackets, adding unique and stylish touches that embody our dedication to sustainable fashion.

Personal Сonscious Сontribution

Once, second-hand was a salvation for me as a "young fashionista", a salvation for the wallet, and now for me it is a salvation of nature, it is an important contribution to the future and my personal contribution through my brand now that I am an "adult fashionista".

The Second-Hand Revolution

The fashion industry has long been associated with a significant carbon footprint, excessive waste, and ethical issues. As a responsible brand, we recognize the need for a fundamental shift in the way we create and consume fashion. Our plan centers on the belief that sustainable fashion doesn't always have to start from scratch.

The Treasure Hunt

Our journey begins with a treasure hunt of sorts. We plan to scour charity shops and local second-hand stores, seeking out leather jackets that may have been discarded but still hold immense potential. Each jacket has a story, and our goal is to give it a new chapter.

The Atelier Transformation

Once we've collected these pre-loved leather jackets, they will undergo a transformation in our atelier. Kristina will work tirelessly to breathe new life into each piece. We plan to repair, repurpose, and reimagine the jackets to create unique, stylish, and sustainable fashion items.

Unique Stylish Touches

Our commitment to sustainability won't mean compromising on style. On the contrary, it's an opportunity to unleash creativity. We plan to add unique stylish touches that will make each jacket a work of art. Whether it's hand-painted designs, intricate embroidery, or custom embellishments, our aim is to make every piece one-of-a-kind.

Local Craftsmanship

Supporting local craftsmanship will be a core part of our strategy. By utilizing the skills and expertise of our local artisans, we not only aim to reduce our carbon footprint but also contribute to the growth of our economy, especially in such a difficult time for our country. It's a win-win for both our brand and the environment.

Reducing Fashion's Footprint

Our commitment to sustainable fashion will go beyond the individual pieces we create. It will be about reducing the fashion industry's overall footprint. By giving pre-loved leather jackets a second chance, we plan to divert them from landfills and extend their lifecycle. It's a small step towards a more circular fashion economy.

Educating and Inspiring

As we embark on this journey, we won't just be transforming jackets; we'll also be transforming mindsets. We aim to educate and inspire our customers and the fashion industry as a whole. We want to show that sustainability and style can coexist, and that every small effort counts towards a more sustainable future.

Join Us on this Journey

We invite you to join us on this exciting journey towards sustainable fashion. Keep an eye out for updates on our revamped leather jackets, each with its unique story and style. Together, we can make a difference, one jacket at a time.

At Kristina Laptso, we believe in fashion that not only looks good but also does good—for you, for us, and for the planet.
