SUSTAINABILITY
LaZoy has a strong focus on sustainability and social responsibility. It is the only option for us. And it is absolutely necessary if we are to preserve our planet.
You will always be able to wear LaZoy clothes with the cleanest conscience.
It is our responsibility.
The fashion industry grossly over-pollutes and behave indecently towards people in the clothing manufacturing in many parts of the world. We simply do not want to be a part of that. And it is not necessary at all. You can easily make clothes without burdening our planet or the planet’s people and animals the way it is done today.
Well of course the fashion industry can never be 100 % sustainable. To be that we should not produce any more clothes, but wear what we have till we die. However, this is not an option. The fashion industry is very big and powerful because we identify ourselves very much through the clothes we wear. However, this powerful industry has the responsibility to make fashion as sustainable as possible.
We at LaZoy take our responsibility seriously and you can wear the clothes with a clean conscience knowing that your piece of LaZoy clothing is produced without burdening our planet unnecessarily and without the involvement of child labor or any other outrageous conditions, but knowing that the people involved in the entire value chain have been paid a salary that they are able to live on.
Focus on sustainability, social responsibility and transparency throughout the value chain:
Production
We produce at 4Style, a small sewing company in Poland with good working conditions.
We produce primarily samples and small series at the Danish manufacturer Sylab in Ikast.
We are in the process of starting a collaboration with a GOTS certified manufacturer in Izmir/Turkey, a company with several certifications and a long tradition of sustainability.
Fabric
We always strive to use the most sustainable fabric.
We use fabric made of wood, like lyocell, modal and viscose which is manufactured by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified sustainable forestry and transformed into yarn fibers in an environmentally responsible production process, which takes place in a closed loop without the emission of chemicals.
We also use organic cotton, preferably GOTS certified. We use fabric made from recycled fibers and we use a little bit of dead-stock fabric. All fabrics are at least OekoTex 100 certified.
Because it is jersey we always use 5 % elastane for the fabric to retain its shape.
We buy fabric from the Danish wholesale company VSE Textiles, which produces the fabric at Turkish manufacturers located in the western part of Turkey. In addition, we buy fabric from southern European manufacturers.
All LaZoy clothing is 100% vegan.
Long-lasting favorite clothing
The fashion industry’s biggest problem is: We produce too much. We consume too much. We use our clothes too little. We recycle too little.
A lot of clothing is of poor quality and does not last long.
A lot of clothing has a bad fit, which is one of the reasons why we only use our clothes on average 7-8 times.
At LaZoy we strive to do the opposite of the above.
We do not produce more than can be sold at full price.
The clothes have a good fit for many women.
Most LaZoy clothing is season independant, so you can wear the clothes most of the year season after season.
The clothes are very useable. You can wear the shirts together with everything from worn-out jeans to pencil skirts, and the shirt dresses allow you to dress up and down and use them both at work and at a party.
The clothes are of excellent quality and you can use it for many years. This means that you do not have to buy new clothes as often, allowing you to not contribute to the totally indecent use-and-throw-away culture which characterizes large parts of the world today.
LaZoy has the potential to become your favorite clothing that you are going to wear until it is completely worn out.
Transport
We try to minimize transportation where possible. We try to find shipping companies with a sustainable focus in their business model and which run as directly as possible without too many reloadings.
Delivery to you
The boxes for B2B customers are reused or made of recycled carton.
Our webshop shipping bag is made of 100 % recycled plastic film manufactured at a Danish factory. The bag contains no heavy metals or other harmful substances.
Your invoice will not be printed, but emailed to you.
We are constantly working to make the entire value chain even more sustainable!
We are not yet on target with everything we want. But we are on our way. Our value chain is transparent and you as a customer are always welcome to ask us in-depth questions about fabric, production and other things.
