‘Sustainability’ is the practise of creating things with the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs: for example, fast fashion and plastic (polyester) clothing are ‘unsustainable‘ because they take from the earth in a non-renewable way, meaning future generations will eventually run out of this fuel. 

At Chamiah Dewey Fashion, ‘sustainability’ and being socially responsible is at the forefront of every decision we make; from fabric choice, to manufacturing location, to postage and packaging. We care about our planet and the valuable resources it provides us, we aren’t prepared to compromise on that.

Another important aspect to consider when discussing fashion production, is where the fabric comes from; who grows the fibres, who weaves and dyes it and who supplies it. 

We are always careful to work with suppliers that value the environment, as well as human rights; paying their workers a living wage.

Where possible, we aim to use biodegradable, natural and recycled fibres across all our collections. As a small business, there is always room for improvement, and we will always be transparent about our journey.
