OUR BRAND ETHICS

As the founder of Unfold, I have been passionate about sustainability since I can remember. I have always felt deeply about the ecological impact we make on our planet – that’s when I start talking to my family and friends, opening debates, and discussing these issues with them.

As the years passed, I felt the urge to keep reaching more and more people - not just those around me. This is how Unfold was born.

We, as TEAM UNFOLD, wish to make an active impact on society: showing how a business can be a catalyst for a change. We are on a quest to provide more sustainable options and to encourage a more conscious and informed approach to shopping.

We strive to do this by creating products with LOW IMPACT on the environment.

Creating an alternative that follows high ethical standards that has a much more considerate polluting impact. We have brought on the market a product that fulfills this need and we wish to be an example for other businesses too!

“We want to create a platform for AWARENESS.”

We use our platform to educate and create awareness, not just to sell you something! This is a space that encourages a more mindful approach to your shopping habits and to your daily life choices. A community where we raise consciousness on mass-production, fast fashion, and ecological themes.

This quote resonates in my mind ever so often. We have reached a point of no return: we all need to try our own personal best to protect Mother Earth.

I, the mind behind Unfold but also a person with regular dreams and passions, I want to attempt my OWN personal best - not simply by producing fashion accessories with no harmful impact. I choose to bring my dreams a step further. With this intent, I strive to get our community more actively involved. We are working on a few projects that will provide our community the chance to engage in the safeguard of our environment even more personally.

OUR CERTIFICATIONS

Human activities are the crucial centre of what is happening to our planet - deforestation, pollution and mass-production of goods are causing its decline faster every day. It is clearly visible around us, now more than ever.    

This is why our goal is to promote ethical consumption and sustainable production.

To do so, we source our material and manufacture our products through a process that undergoes control from international organisations – ensuring high ethical standards are met.

Our material is accredited by the FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council), Oeko-Tex standard  and Rainforest Alliance.

The FSC certification is the most rigorous international standard for responsible forestry - it preserves biological diversity, water resources and ecosystems. The FSC standard also upholds worker rights and supports economic prosperity in surrounding communities.

This certification ensures that the forest we source our material from, is a responsibly managed forest: this means that when trees are cut, they are replaced with new trees in order to create a renewable cycle.

The Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex tests and approves textiles against harmful substances for the skin.

Rainforest Alliance certifies that products meet standards designed to protect ecosystems, safeguarding the well-being of local communities and improving productivity.

We do NOT take part in deforestation practices and condemn this unsuited activity. Unfold’s driving force is FASHION AS A TOOL FOR COMMUNICATION.

Fashion with a purpose, not just a trend.
