The transparent pieces in our new collection are made from environmentally friendly non-PVC materials, making them much less harmful to our planet.
What is PVC?
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely produced plastics in the world and is used not just in the fashion industry but health, technology, construction and more. PVC is by far the most environmentally damaging and toxic of all plastics, with short-term exposure to vinyl chloride in the air resulting in dizziness, drowsiness and headaches, and long-term exposure leading to much more serious complications. Thankfully, there is now a sustainable plastic alternative.
Our plastic-free mission
Since ceasing the use of all PVC plastics in 2010, we have been working to find a an environmentally friendly material with the same versatility and durability.
This season sees the introduction of clear pieces like monogram totes, sneakers, heels and shoes, all made from our innovative new PVC-free materials—boasting similar qualities, with much less negative impact on our planet. We are excited to have developed something with the same look and feel that is kinder to the environment.
Being at the forefront of innovation means we are constantly problem solving. We will continue to experiment and develop new materials as we work toward a more sustainable future.
