Natacha Cadonici gebruikt verschillende materialen in haar collectie. Een deel van deze stoffen worden nieuw geproduceerd, waarbij het merk de voorkeur geeft aan natuurlijke materialen zoals katoen. Ook Tencel wordt vaak gebruikt in de ontwerpen.
Natacha Cadonici uses a variety of materials in its collection. Some of these fabrics are newly produced, favouring natural materials such as cotton and Tencel.
In addition, part of the collection is made from recycled leftover fabric from other fashion houses. Natacha uses these deadstock fabrics into her own creations to avoid them being discarded as waste. As a result, there are some synthetic materials in the collection, such as polyamide and elastane.
One of the recognizable characteristics of her designs is the use of ribbons that finish the garment in the neckline, the sleeve ends and the bottom of the tops, with peppy and bright colours. These 100% cotton creations are produced exclusively for Natacha Cadonici in the north of France. You won’t find them anywhere else!
This Belgian fashion label supports circular practices by making use of deadstock fabrics from other Belgian fashion houses.

Natacha Cadonici has a short supply chain located entirely within Europe.
The clothes are designed and made in Brussels, Belgium. The fabrics are sourced from suppliers in Germany, France & Austria.
Only the original origin of the recycled fabrics is unknown. For deadstock materials, it is often impossible to trace where the material was produced.
Natacha Cadonici uses wool in her designs.
It is not clear whether this wool is recycled (sourced from deadstock fabrics) or made as new material for the collection. As a result, conditions and animal welfare are unknown.
The clothes are designed for the modern woman who effortlessly combines work, family and hobbies without sacrificing style.
These women deserve recognition, and Natacha Cadonici aimed to reflect that in her collections.
All the creations are reversible. A reversible collection doubles the wearability of each piece, reducing the need for additional clothing and minimizing fashion waste. This innovative approach not only offers versatility but also promotes conscious consumption.
When a client invests in one of the creations, it is for many years: the fabric is of quality: there is no pilling, it does not shrink, the colour remains flamboyant.
This Belgian label stands strong on ethical production and is transparent about it. On their website, details about the Brussels sewing workshop and fabric sources are available. Additionally, the brand has collaborated with COSH! to further disclose information regarding its suppliers and certifications.

Finally, by selling directly, the brand applies a minimal markup, ensuring customers receive fair pricing. Instead of frequent sales and discounts, only prototypes or end-of-series items are on sale. Their cherished creations are worth the wait, preferring pre-orders to impulse buys.
The pleasure is twofold: the anticipation of pre-ordering and the joy of receiving the item a few weeks later.
