SUSTAINABILITY

Raw Material

At Ephedra, we bring our commitment to sustainability to life through the careful selection of materials. In our quest, we highlight linen, a versatile and exquisite natural fiber that serves as the primary canvas for our creations. Linen, with its innate elegance, not only enhances the beauty of our garments but also reflects our conscious commitment as a natural, biodegradable fiber with low environmental impact. Mother of Pearl is a unique material and a testament to our commitment to preserving natural beauty. Each of our accessories is meticulously crafted from Mother of Pearl shell fragments, rescuing these marine jewels to give them new life.

Processes

The ongoing pursuit of sustainability drives us in every aspect of production, even in the fundamental processes of creation. One of our key practices is the meticulous fitting of patterns to the fabric, a technique that ensures perfection in the fit of each garment and is designed to minimize waste to the fullest extent.

Within the challenges of our processes, we emphasize the transformation of leftovers from the cutting process into valuable elements of our collection. Instead of discarding those small scraps, we turn them into essential pieces that are part of the production. Each rescued small piece becomes a jewel that reflects our dedication to creativity while addressing the issue of textile waste in the fashion industry.

Production

Commitment to small-batch production is fundamental for us. We prioritize quality over quantity, creating garments that are unique and exclusive. This choice allows us to contribute to reducing the environmental impact associated with overproduction. Every garment we create is an expression of our dedication to more conscious fashion.

At the heart of our production is a dedicated team of women with exceptional skills in the art of tailoring. We work closely with a sewing workshop consisting of single mothers and young women seeking empowerment through sewing. This approach not only promotes equal opportunities but also fosters a working environment that celebrates diversity and feminine strength.
