PAC­KA­GING 

Fali­ero Sarti’s web­si­te does not dis­clo­se what pac­ka­ging mate­ri­als are used in the­ir sup­ply cha­in or for e‑commerce. 

WATER USA­GE & CHEMICALS 

Fali­ero Sar­ti has not dis­clo­sed any measu­res to redu­ce the­ir water or che­mi­cal usa­ge in the­ir sup­ply cha­in. As the­ir mate­ri­als are not cer­ti­fi­ed orga­nic, the­ir pro­duc­ti­on may be asso­ci­ated with syn­t­he­tic fer­ti­li­sers, or arti­fi­ci­al che­mi­cals and pesticides. 

CIR­CU­LAR PRO­DUCT DESIGN 

Some of Fali­ero Sarti’s pro­duc­ts are mate­ri­al blen­ds. The­se pro­duc­ts will the­re­fo­re be dif­fi­cult to recy­cle at the end of the­ir lifespan. 

CIR­CU­LAR BUSI­NESS MODELS

Fali­ero Sar­ti has not dis­clo­sed any cir­cu­lar busi­ness models on the­ir website. 

DIS­TAN­CE & COM­PLEXITY OF THE SUP­PLY CHAIN

Pro­duc­ti­on locations:

• Italy 

Fali­ero Sarti’s headqu­ar­ters are loca­ted in Italy. The brand has five boutiqu­es across Italy; in Flo­ren­ce, Milan, Rome, For­te Dei Mar­mi, and Por­to Roton­do. They also offer wor­l­dwi­de shipping. 

TRAN­S­POR­TA­TI­ON 

Fali­ero Sar­ti does not dis­clo­se what tran­s­por­ta­ti­on met­hods they use wit­hin the­ir sup­ply cha­in or for e‑commerce. Howe­ver, as all the­ir pro­duc­ts are made in Italy and the­ir headqu­ar­ters and sto­res are also loca­ted in Italy, tran­s­por­ta­ti­on-rela­ted emi­ssi­ons are redu­ced. 

• Cash­me­re
• Wool
• Silk 

Fali­ero Sar­ti does not dis­clo­se any infor­ma­ti­on abo­ut how they sour­ce the­ir ani­mal rela­ted mate­ri­als. The pro­duc­ti­on of silk is often viewed as unet­hi­cal, as conven­ti­onal silk pro­duc­ti­on invol­ves boiling sil­kwor­ms ali­ve to extract the silk thre­ad. Orga­nic silk and peace silk are more ani­mal-fri­end­ly alter­na­ti­ves, but Fali­ero Sar­ti does not sta­te which they use. You can read more abo­ut the pro­duc­ti­on and sus­ta­ina­bi­lity of silk here. 

Fali­ero Sar­ti does not dis­clo­se whet­her the­ir wool and cash­me­re is cer­ti­fi­ed or orga­nic. It is the­re­fo­re dif­fi­cult to deter­mi­ne the ani­mal wel­fa­re asso­ci­ated with its production. 

PRO­DUCT DESIGN 

Fali­ero Sar­ti desig­ns ele­gant and time­less scar­ves for men and women. The scar­ves are ava­ila­ble in a wide ran­ge of colo­urs and desig­ns, from deli­ca­te flo­ral pat­ter­ns, to bold geome­tric or ani­mal prints. Or if you’re looking for somet­hing mini­ma­lis­tic, Fali­ero Sar­ti also offers solid colo­ur scar­ves for effor­tless coor­di­na­ti­on with any outfit. 

SLOW FASHI­ON PROCESSES 

Fali­ero Sar­ti pro­du­ces sum­mer and win­ter col­lec­ti­ons. The­re is a small sales ran­ge on the­ir web­si­te, as the­ir pro­duc­ts are not made to order. 

TRAN­S­PA­REN­CY ON PRODUCT 

Each pro­duct page sta­tes what mate­ri­als the item is made from, and sin­ce every pro­duct is made in Italy, you’re guaran­te­ed to know whe­re your spe­ci­fic pur­c­ha­se was produced. 

TRAN­S­PA­REN­CY ON PROCESSES 

Fali­ero Sar­ti does not publish an annu­al report on the soci­al or envi­ron­men­tal aspec­ts of the­ir brand, and does not dis­clo­se whe­re the­ir mate­ri­als are sour­ced from. This lack of tran­s­pa­ren­cy makes it dif­fi­cult to deter­mi­ne the true sus­ta­ina­bi­lity efforts of the brand.
