WORKING CONDITIONS & WAGES

Tara Jarmon produces part of its collections in Europe, where stricter labour and environmental standards apply. As a result, risks related to labour rights or workplace safety are relatively low. 
The remaining part is manufactured in India, China and the Middle East, regions where social risks such as low wages, insufficient occupational safety or longer supply chains may exist. Nevertheless, the company consciously chooses these locations due to the traditional know-how in plant-based materials found there.

The brand works with certified materials, including OCS, GOTS, GRS, RCS, FSC, RWS, European Flax and Oeko-Tex, which indicates a structured supply chain and a certain level of transparency. These certifications cover, among other things, ecological standards, traceability and in some cases social criteria.

The leather goods are handcrafted in an Italian atelier specialising in leather processing.
There is no information available regarding regular supplier visits or a formalised social partnership.

Tara Jarmon uses several certified materials such as GOTS or OCS cotton, RWS wool, FSC and LENZING™ viscose, European Flax linen and GRS polyester. These are considered more environmentally friendly due to reduced chemical use, traceability and recycled content.

Note: The final products are not GOTS-certified.

PACKAGING

No information is provided about the packaging materials.

WATER USE & CHEMICALS

Tara Jarmon refers to more environmentally conscious material and production choices, but without providing detailed information on water or chemical management across the entire supply chain. For leather products, careful water use, limited chemical input and an optimised recycling system are mentioned. However, certifications such as GOTS, OCS, GRS, RWS, FSC and Oeko-Tex cover standards for pollutant limitation, ecological processes and material traceability. Information on microplastic emissions or dyeing and bleaching processes is not disclosed.

CIRCULAR PRODUCT DESIGN

Tara Jarmon uses both mono-materials and fibre blends, which can potentially complicate later recycling.

There is no mention of a take-back or recycling programme for worn-out garments.

Repairs are generally possible, for example through the inclusion of spare buttons, but there are no specific repair or disassembly systems.

CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODEL

According to its website, Tara Jarmon does not offer its own repair service and does not collaborate with external repair workshops. An exception is the inclusion of spare buttons, enabling small repairs to be carried out independently. There is no take-back system for used or worn garments, nor are there indications of other circular business models such as rental, resale or recycling programmes.

DISTANCE & COMPLEXITY OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN

• France
• Italy
• Portugal
• Spain
• India
• China
• Middle East
• Headquarters: Paris, France.

TRANSPORT

• Tara Jarmon does not provide information on the transport methods used or emission reductions within the supply chain. However, due to international production, higher transport effort can be assumed.
• For online retail, the brand uses various shipping service providers such as TNT, Colissimo, Mondial Relay and DHL. There is no information available on CO₂ compensation.

• Wool, RWS-certified (Responsible Wool Standard), origin not further specified.
• Leather comes from Italian tanneries with controlled water and chemical use.
• Silk from Asia, particularly India and China.

Tara Jarmon does not use exotic leathers or materials from protected animal species. This is explicitly excluded.

Certifications such as RWS ensure that wool is obtained under animal welfare – friendly conditions.

Tara Jarmon communicates traceability and environmental impacts via the Fairly Made® tool. Details are provided on origin, transport routes and environmental impacts such as CO₂ emissions, energy use and water burden.

On Tara Jarmon product pages, detailed information on animal-based materials such as leather or fur can be viewed via Fairly Made®. Customers can see where the material comes from, which processing steps were carried out and which environmental impacts such as CO₂ emissions, energy use or transport distance are associated with it. This transparency enables a better understanding of the ecological impacts of individual products.

However, a comprehensive animal welfare policy as well as information on animal husbandry or slaughter conditions are still lacking.

PRODUCT DESIGN

Tara Jarmon offers exclusively womenswear, including dresses, coats, jackets, knitwear, skirts, trousers, accessories, bags and shoes. The brand targets a female audience with a focus on elegant style.
The size range spans UK 8 to 16 for clothing and UK 3 to 9 for shoes, complemented by belt sizes S – L.

SLOW FASHION PROCESSES

Tara Jarmon releases several seasonal collections per year. The brand works with regular new releases following the rhythm of classic fashion seasons.

The label participates in sale periods.

Tara Jarmon does not offer made-to-measure services.

PRODUCT TRANSPARENCY

On Tara Jarmon product pages, detailed information on the materials used, production countries and, via the Fairly Made® tool, traceability is displayed. Customers can see where the main materials come from, which processing steps were carried out and which environmental impacts are associated with the respective product.
This makes the supply chain of individual products transparently accessible, allowing buyers to know where their specific garment was produced.

PROCESS TRANSPARENCY

Tara Jarmon provides basic information about its materials, certifications and production countries on a general page. In addition, the brand offers product-specific traceability via Fairly Made® on the product pages, including information on origin, transport distance and environmental impact of individual items.

However, detailed information on supplier relationships is not published. There is also no publicly available sustainability or annual report that comprehensively documents social or ecological performance.
