Luxeire Luxeire ( Private sector ) #SDGAction59716 Description SDGs & Targets SDG 14 targets covered Deliverables & timeline Resources mobilized Progress reports Description Description Luxeire, women's apparrel, was created to solve a problem too many women know well: luxury clothes that look good on the hanger but fail in real life. Stiff fabrics, unflattering cuts, and the constant need for dry cleaning leave little room for comfort—or practicality. We saw the need for clothing that bridges the gap: elegant, elevated pieces made from performance fabrics that actually support the pace of modern life. We design for women who are done compromising—on comfort, care, or confidence. Our garments are crafted to be flattering, breathable, machine washable, and polished enough for any setting. Whether you're heading to a boardroom, running errands, or packing for a weekend away, Luxeire delivers wardrobe staples that move with you and make getting dressed effortless. Implementation of the Project/Activity We use only recycled fibers from Carvico, a mill in Italy known for its sustainability practices. We manufacturer in NYC, with our studio space attached to our manufacturer. We are DTC, with very small production runs with the goal of never over producing. Garments do not need to be covered in plastic sheaths to go from factory to studio, and they travel by human foot and garment rack. If there is an error in a garment, we walk it back to the sewers and they fix it. We resell 90%+ of our returns - I wash garments that need it. The manufacturer presses and repackages. Seconds and slightly damaged garments are donated to university career centers and to Housing Works. We use recycled and recyclable packaging in all areas that we can. Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer We are a small, self-funded, mother-daughter-owned company. Are growth manageable and steady. We add people and processes as needed within the space that we have. For the foreseeable future, we should be able to continue to grow with our current systems and locations in place. Coordination mechanisms Co-Founders and Owners, Gina Kuyers (mother) and Margot Adams (daughter) have built in eco-friendly practices from the inception of our line. We source textiles made only recycled fibers from Carvico/Jersey Lomellina in Italy. Their mill is known for it's commitment to reduce its carbon footprint in all steps of the production process. We order our fabrics in small, regular intervals to reduce excess dead stock or unused fabrics. When existing fabrics are discontinued, what remains is donated to the FIT Fashion Program. We produce our garments in NYC, with our working studio, which includes packaging, storage and fulfillment, is attached to our manufacturer . Only human steps and a garment rack are needed to bring final production to packaging and fulfillment. No need for plastic coverings of garments as they get transported through the production chain. Production orders are small - no minimums, with the goal of selling everything we produce. Seconds and discontinued garments are donated to Housing Works and the Fordham University Career Center. Returned garments are laundered by me, repressed and packaged, to go back into inventory. Most packaging is made from recycled materials and/or is recyclable. Evaluation We continually evaluate the sell through of our products, with the goal of selling out each sku before discontinuing. We have very few unsold garments from discontinued styles/colors and those are donated. We can also evaluate our ability to add returns back into inventory. Any garment that is not able to be resold, is donated if wearable. These are numbers we can follow.
