Slow fashion
We are proud to be the opposite of a fast fashion brand.
As you may know, fashion brands are often hugely harmful to the environment, animals, and workers. Not good. When we launched bubuleh, we made an unequivocal decision that we wouldn't start the brand if we couldn't figure out a way to produce our clothing in a way that's aligned with our values.
bubuleh is so much about bringing positivity into the world, and if making our clothing was to hurt anyone in the process, it would be completely antithetical to our mission. We take this very seriously.
Though it often adds extra layers of complications and additional costs, we are committed to producing clothing that we are proud of making, and that you are proud of wearing.
Some of the ways we incorporate sustainability into the brand include:
- Designing timeless pieces rather than clothes based on seasonal trends that come and go
- Using the highest-quality materials, with as clear of a supply chain as possible, so our clothes can be worn for years
- Using 100% vegan and cruelty-free materials (i.e., no fur, silk, wool, leather, etc.)
- Producing our clothing in small batches to limit waste
- Using environmentally-friendly dyes
- Working with sweatshop-free partners, always
- Working with local factories and vendors in LA and NYC.
- Using eco-friendly, plastic-free, recyclable packaging and materials
- Utilizing upcycling to create sustainable and beautiful pieces.
Moral of the story?
We're committed to transparency, and we believe that actions speak louder than words. We’re constantly working to improve our production process to be more sustainable, ethical, and eco-friendly.
So, rest assured, not only will you look great in bubuleh, but you'll feel great knowing that you're wearing and supporting ethically-made, eco-friendly pieces that mean something.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
