MY ESSENTIAL WARDROBE

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.
