MY ESSENTIAL WARDROBE is committed to ethical practices, as the brand is a member of the Amfori BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative). Through this agreement, social standards are secured throughout the entire supply chain, ensuring that modern slavery or human trafficking is excluded.
MY ESSENTIAL WARDROBE offers, in addition to natural fibres like organic cotton, linen, and Tencel, animal-derived products such as leather and merino wool. Additionally, they also use recycled polyester. Training and education are a part of MY ESSENTIAL WARDROBE’s approach. Suppliers are informed about chemical restrictions and responsible handling of fibres.
While customers can read care tips for the respective materials on the website’s Care Guide to maintain them and thereby support the longevity of the textiles, the company still uses many blended materials that complicate the recycling process. As the company is part of the Danish multi-label company DK Company, and the supply chain is only partially traceable, it remains unclear to what extent circular practices are applied in the production process.
As part of the Danish multi-label company DK Company, which does not own any factories, the supply chain is only partially traceable. COSH! has no information on production sites or countries of production.
MY ESSENTIAL WARDROBE uses animal-derived fibres such as leather and Merino wool. They collaborate with the Leather Working Group (LWG), which supports an improved leather industry. However, the company informs that full transparency regarding animal welfare cannot be guaranteed. For the wool they use, they work with companies committed to protecting the sheep and their habitats.
The simple design of the garments ensures versatile styling and timelessness. The quality also contributes to the longevity of the products. MY ESSENTIAL WARDROBE will, in the truest sense, never go out of fashion.
The brand’s communication about current challenges and future goals reflects a very honest approach with its customers, such as the presentation of the benefits and challenges of each fibre. In the words of MY ESSENTIAL WARDROBE: “Traceability is [also] synonymous with transparency,” something they are continually working on.
Conclusion
Those who wish to dress stylishly and consciously, regardless of age, will find MY ESSENTIAL WARDROBE to be the right choice. Carefully selected organic and recycled materials, along with ethical standards, contribute positively to a future-proof fashion industry. COSH! looks forward to further progress towards sustainability.
