Description

Founded by Laurie Clémence, Denude Magazine is a print magazine and non-mass e-commerce store. Each piece of clothing sold is hand chosen in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This way Denude's customers do not have to ask if a piece of clothing or jewellery is entirely transparent in their sustainability or environmental claims, they will just know. The catalogue of brands Denude carry follow a set of practices that make them some of the most responsible in the world. To be a part of our store, each brand was examined under the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Each piece carried is made with care and harms as little of the earth as possible. Denude assures its customers that no workers have been exploited within the supply chain and that they are a valued part of a non-mass supply chain model. The part a customer plays in buying from this model of purchase contributes to creating a sustainable future and enables them (the customer) to know of their contribution - without being seduced by language that can distract from the real intention of buying a non-mass item. Denude hopes to promote buying that values longevity over short term satisfaction, profit or exploitative gain. It offers a range of pieces that represent some of the most considered designers in the world. We do not align with typical collection seasons and the stock we have is to be sold over no solid course of time.

Implementation of the Project/Activity

Each brand shared with us where their products are made, the manufacturers used and the people that make or produce each piece. From this information, Denude are able to trace products and their components (whether that be a button, a bead, or a material; such as leather) back through each step of the supply chain to their origin, whether as raw materials or at the beginning of garment composure (depending upon whether manufactured or made by the owner of brand).

Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer

To build capacity and to share the wealth of knowledge we are acquiring from brands and designers - we will at the end of each business year share publicly a PDF of the necessary supply chain traceability to create the transparency we have in place, with each component that should be implemented to develop a traceable and transparent supply chain. This non-mass methodology can then be implemented by other E-Commerce brands (excluding the items that are protected under Denude Magazine's™).

Coordination mechanisms

The strategy is transparency. Denude sells products that are enacting meaningful and sustainable changes in the world. Through individual transparency online, advocacy and education of each factory that each designer we stock uses, we can inform our customer of each worker's name in a given factory. The platforms involved are our collaborators, and with their consent we can reveal the workers in the full supply chain, from office to manufacturer. We garner their reasoning behind using a certain factory and from this can implement an illustration of the full 360 supply chain.

Evaluation

With our first collection launched and sold out, each customer that received clothing and jewellery packages were made aware of the origin of packaging and of the content of the packaging - if purchased in bulk and how they can trace the cycle of this online. The supply chain of our resources was made available to follow through with brands naming individual workers. On the end purchase notes, positive results were found from naming workers in the supply chain - with order notes thanking the named worker.
