SUSTAINABILITY

Slow fashion as the new standard – The soul is in the stitch

At La Vie Marie, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between looking good and doing good. That’s why we create clothing that’s fair, local, and sustainable – with care for people, the planet, and your style.

Locally Made, With Care
Our garments are made in our studio in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. What does that mean for you?

• Less transport = lower CO₂ emissions
• Shorter supply chains = fair wages and good working conditions
• Local production = more control over quality

Fact: In the Netherlands alone, 21.5 million items of clothing are wasted each year – many of them never worn. By producing consciously in small batches, we actively fight this waste.

Fabrics That Feel Right
Clothing only truly feels good when you know it’s been made fairly. That’s why we carefully choose high-quality, certified fabrics, such as:

• OEKO-TEX® certified materials – tested for harmful substances

Whether it’s a blouse or a durable bag: our materials are chosen for their quality, sustainability, and feel-good factor.

Slow Fashion
We don’t do fast fashion. You don’t need clothes that last just one season – you deserve pieces that stand the test of time. That’s why we offer:

• High-quality craftsmanship that lasts
• 4–6 collections per year

Did you know that major fashion chains sometimes release 52 collections a year? We focus on 4 to 6 – to give it the right attention that lasts.

Why You Make the Difference
Every choice you make as a consumer matters. By choosing local production and ethical materials:

• You help reduce pollution
• You support true craftsmanship
• You invest in quality clothing that stays beautiful for years

You have style. And to us, style means knowing what you wear – and why. Not buying blindly, but consciously choosing quality, fairness, and your own sense of fashion. At La Vie Marie, we believe a fairer, more sustainable fashion industry is possible.

Wear the difference.
