Description
Desoire is a sustainable, genderless fashion brand empowering femininity for both genders while pursuing an ethical lifestyle. We specialize in designing feminine styles that tailor to both men and women, fighting against conventional gender norms. Additionally, we aim to and limit the waste that the fashion industry has added to through productive design methods and energy-efficient manufacturing. Through community building and using our platform as way of activism, we are gradually leading our movement for de-gendering fashion, and promoting sustainability in the fashion industry,
We specialize in designing gender-inclusive clothing that tailors towards feminine styles instead of conventional masculine cuts. Regarding sustainability, we opt for biodegradable fabrics with minimized impact, such as Tencel (beechwood-based) and natural fibers. Packaging is 100% recycled with low-density and high-density polyethylene instead of traditional plastics. We try to implement practices that conserve fabric waste in the production and development of our manufacturing, ensuring transparency throughout.
While we are still in the process of establishing our company, we hope to get certified or partner with environment alliances and non profit organizations.
Additionally, we target to have at least 50% of our materials used in production derived from biodegradable, recycled, or natural sources. By carefully monitoring the production composition, we can make this goal possible and inspire other brands and corporations to follow along this mission.
Desoire’s initiative to push for both gender-free and sustainable, ethical fashion will work to allleviate some of the biggest gaps in the industry. This movement will help push for education and inspire individuals to find authenticity in their lives and fashion choices. We are working to end the stigma associated with femininity for specifically men. With our commitment to sustainability, we hope to inspire individuals to make more sensible choices, and pushing for fashion that is environmentally friendly, yet still accessible to many budgets. We aim to partner with influencers in the sustainability and inclusivity space, and run campaigns to keep our voice heard.
We ensure our initiative is implemented through communication without our entire supply chain: sourcing biodegradable fabrics with eco-friendly and if possible search for OEKO-TEX certified options with credible companies. Additionally, we use small batch manufacturing that guarantees adequate working conditions and pay for those developing our products. We are beginning to utilize 3D pattern design when necessary, to prevent additional fabric waste in our production process. Ultimately, our mission of sustainability is monitored by building relationships with our partners, and choosing individuals/companies that can support and make our vision possible.
Desoire will create platforms for discussions and sharing experiences related to gender-free and sustainable fashion. This will involve engaging with the community through social media and participate in programs that support our views of an inclusive environment. By encouraging open dialogue and collaboration, we strive to build a community that embraces and promotes the values of gender-free and sustainable fashion.
