Why choose Maison Brera for your summer outfits?

Maison Brera leads the knitwear revolution  towards a new way of seeing fashion. We always talk about sustainability related to environmental issues, climate change and pollution, but which role has the fashion world played in this critical situation? What’s going on in the fashion industry and what are the actual facts?

Some Sustainable Fashion Data

According to the Global Fashion Agenda ‘’ looking at the fashion value chain, the activities with the largest impact on climate, water and chemical pollution can be found in the processing stage, which includes the preparation of fabrics such as spinning, weaving or dying’’.

Also according to the latest Fashion Revolution Report most of the carbon emissions occur during the manufacturing processes of raw material and only the 17% of fashion brands care to disclose information about their use of raw materials.

Our knitwear revolution starts here! Maison Brera’s credo is all about attention to details and ensuring a transparent production and supply chain. Our journey starts from the research of the highest quality yarns in terms of environmental sustainability, respect of working conditions and re-discovery of traditional materials.

Working on this revolution means fighting the fast fashion ‘’ideology’’ of everything at once  replacing it with slowness. We value the concept of product traceability and we like to choose a limited number of partners and manufacturers that can share a story.

To contribute to the fashion sustainability great cause we use recycled yarns only  and we make sure to keep pace with the latest and most important green certifications.
