PACKAGING

Sofie Schnoor does not provide any information on which packaging materials are used for online shipping or along the supply chain.

WATER AND CHEMICAL USE

The brand mentions that it is increasingly integrating certified, recycled and organic materials and reflecting on and optimising its production processes. However, no specific certifications or standards are mentioned.

Overall, it remains unclear whether Sofie Schnoor specifically controls or monitors environmental aspects such as the use of water and chemicals or potential pollutants.

CIRCULAR PRODUCTION DESIGN

Sofie Schnoor uses both mono-fibres and mixed fibres. Mixed fibres make subsequent recycling considerably more difficult. Here you can read more about the effects of the choice of textiles on recycling, durability and the environment.

There is also no documented take-back or repair service for discarded garments. There is no evidence that collected products are repaired, reused or recycled.

CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODEL

Sofie Schnoor does not publicly communicate having a repair service. There is also no indication of a take-back programme for worn or discarded clothing. Other circular business models such as rental, resale or a company-owned second-hand channel are also not yet recognisable at Sofie Schnoor. The potential for extending the product life cycle through such offers therefore remains unclear.

DISTANCE AND SUPPLY CHAIN COMPLEXITY

• Sofie Schnoor does not provide any information on the countries in which production takes place. There is no information on the geographical origin or the complexity of its supply chain.
• The Sofie Schnoor headquarters are located in Denmark.

TRANSPORT 

Sofie Schnoor does not provide any information on transport in the supply chain or in e‑commerce.

• Wool
• It is unclear whether other animal fibres are used.
• The brand does not provide any information on the origin or type of animal husbandry.

Sofie Schnoor does not have a publicly available Code of Conduct regarding the use of animal materials.

PRODUCT DESIGN

Sofie Schnoor offers a diverse range of products for women, children and teenagers as well as its own sportswear line. The collections combine classic silhouettes with a modern expression and are designed to appeal to different lifestyles, age groups and backgrounds. Although the brand emphasises its desire to design inclusively, it does not provide any specific details.

SLOW FASHION PROCESSES

It is unclear how many collections are published each year. However, it is clear that the brand works seasonally and regularly presents new designs. The brand also takes part in sale periods.

The products are not made to measure or made to order – instead, they are regular ready-to-wear items that are offered in fixed sizes and sold via traditional sales channels.

PRODUCT TRANSPARENCY

The Sofie Schnoor product pages provide basic information about the item. This includes a brief description of the design, information on the material composition and care instructions. There is also information on the fit and the size of the model.

Production countries or information on the origin of the materials are not mentioned on the product page. There is also no information on manufacturing or the social and ecological aspects of the product.

The traceability of individual products is therefore not given. Customers cannot trace where exactly an item of clothing was produced or under what conditions it was made.

PROCESS TRANSPARENCY

Neither specific suppliers nor production countries are named, and there is also a complete lack of insight into working conditions or the composition of the supply chain. The brand does not provide any information on the use of materials, wages or transport.

The little information available on materials and quality can only be found on general brand pages and not in relation to individual products. There is no product-related traceability or transparent communication on the origin of certain items.
