WORKING CONDITIONS & WAGES

XíRENA states that it manufactures in Los Angeles. 

Specific information about how closely XíRENA works with producers, whether regular visits take place or whether long-term partnerships exist is not publicly available. There is also no information on the company’s own production facility, the number of suppliers or specific measures to ensure compliance with ethical standards. The brand does not mention any certifications.

MATERIALS

• Cotton
• Recycled cotton
• Polyester
• Cashmere

Overall, the material portfolio primarily consists of natural fibres. 

XíRENA does not provide any information on the origin of the materials or on sustainability-related certifications. 

PACKAGING

There is no information on the packaging materials used.

WATER USE AND CHEMICALS

XíRENA does not provide any information on environmentally relevant measures such as water consumption, the use of chemicals, dyeing or bleaching processes or the release of microplastics. There is also no mention of certifications in the area of environmental management. It is not known whether the company uses water- or chemical-saving processes or which dyeing methods are used.

CIRCULAR PRODUCT DESIGN

The collection includes items made purely from natural fibres as well as styles that use material blends.

There is no evidence of a circular take-back programme. 

Circular product design or design strategies to extend the lifespan do not appear to be part of the brand strategy.

CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODEL

According to its website, XíRENA does not offer a repair service. A take-back service for worn or discarded clothing – for reuse, repair or recycling, for example – is also not part of the business model.

The brand also does not implement any other circular business models such as rental, resale or modular repair.

DISTANCE & COMPLEXITY OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN

• Los Angeles, USA
• The headquarters are located in Los Angeles, California

TRANSPORTATION 

• As both design and production appear to take place in Los Angeles, the internal transport distance within the supply chain is quite short. However, there is no information on which transport methods are used.
• The brand does not provide any specific information on shipping logistics, the means of transport used or CO₂ offsetting.

• Silk
• Cashmere
• It is possible that other fibres are used.

The brand provides no information on the origin or certification of these fibres. There is also no information on certificates. As such, there is no transparency regarding animal welfare, the use of chemicals or the origin of the fibres.

PRODUCT DESIGN

XíRENA produces women’s apparel. The range includes modern shirts, blouses, dresses, trousers and tops in a casual, Californian-inspired style.

SLOW FASHION PROCESSES

XíRENA produces several seasonal collections per year. There are no references to custom items or pre-orders.

PRODUCT TRANSPARENCY

XíRENA’s product pages contain basic information such as the material composition, care instructions, details on the fit and the size and height of the model. In addition, the place of production is usually stated as ​‘Made in Los Angeles’.

The traceability of the products remains limited. There is no information on specific production sites, suppliers or individual production steps. Although customers are informed that the product was made in Los Angeles, they cannot trace where exactly or under what conditions their specific item of clothing was manufactured.

PROCESS TRANSPARENCY

XíRENA only provides very limited information about its manufacturing processes and suppliers. There is a lack of specific information on the production sites involved, the origin of the materials or social and environmental standards within the supply chain.

An annual sustainability or social report is not published and there are no dedicated pages with comprehensive insights into ecological, social or ethical corporate practices. The transparency of the brand is therefore limited overall.
