The FW 2020 is made of 93 – 95% recycled and/or sustainable materials. A major milestone for the brand, who first set a goal of having 80% of their production made of recycled materials by 2020. The brand is always on the lookout for new finds, such as new materials, and is happy to respond to the changing demand to offer you the most sustainable jacket possible.
Down filling
In 2019, the team in China developed their own fill material ‘E100’, this faux down material is made from recycled PET bottles from the oceans. Later on, the brand switched to post-consumer recycled PET bottles from local landfills as new regulations mean there is less and less plastic in China’s waterways. A win for the environment!
For the FW 2020 collection, the fill material has been further adapted so that it is even warmer and thicker, as well as less fragile making it easier to wash than down made from animal feathers
Most of the outer fabrics are supposed to be Bluesign certified, so no harmful substances in your jacket! Several fast fashion brands use harmful chemicals to make the outer fabric water resistant or animal products like beeswax, this is not the case with this vegan brand! For the FW collection 2020 recycled Embassy or Bricks and Logs are the most used outer fabric for the production of new coats. A big step in the right direction!
Future Fur
The brand has developed a future-fur material from 100% recycled PET bottles, the material also feels like real fur. The brand prefers ‘future-fur’ as terminology instead of fake-fur, because otherwise it seems like it is compromising on quality, whereas with the coats from Embassy of Bricks and Logs it is just the opposite!
The lining: the mesh lining of Embassy jackets is not yet made of recycled materials, but it is supposed to be eco-tex certified. All other components in the lining are made of 100% recycled polyester.
All accessories in the jackets (zips, snap fasteners, eyelets, etc.) are Bluesign certified. So you can be sure that no harmful materials are used in your warm stylish winter coat.
The jersey materials (sweatshirts, t‑shirts & longsleeves) at Embassy of Bricks and Logs are made of 100% organic cotton and made in Portugal. COSH! is fan of organic cotton, because the prohibition of chemical plastics helps to protect the environment. Also, quality cotton has a longer lifespan, compared to other materials.
