At Kapara London, sustainability is not just a goal; it's a guiding principle. Committed to making a positive impact on society whilst minimising our impact on the environment, we recognise our responsibility to embrace sustainable practices in every facet of our operations. Our mission is to design and produce clothing and accessories that reflect our respect for the planet and its resources. We strive to minimise our ecological footprint by meticulously selecting and researching eco-friendly materials, reducing waste throughout our production processes, and upholding fair and ethical labor standards. We approach sustainability with humility, acknowledging our limitations and committing to continuous improvement.
We as a brand want to constantly learn, adapt, and evolve as we navigate the path towards a more sustainable future.
Choosing and ensuring the use of sustainable fabrics can be difficult and complex especially in India.
Fabrics we use include organic cotton (in various forms), modal, linen, silk, cotton linen and a variety of sourced vintage fabrics.
We are committed to minimizing waste by carefully managing materials and products
- Our women's clothing and quilts are made to order ensuring we don't produce lots of surplus pieces that we then can't sell.
- Items that we do put into production we only ever handcraft in small batches.
- We sell exclusively through our website or at our own pop up shops which reduces our environmental impact and promotes responsible consumption. It also means we can closely monitor demand and produce only what is needed, reducing overproduction and associated waste.
- With scrap fabrics we make smaller pieces like scrunchies and elephant bunting so nothing is wasted.
To extend the lifespan of your clothes and conserve natural resources, consider these tips:
- Use cold water when washing.
- Hang your clothes to dry whenever possible.
- Dry clean selectively and choose an environmentally friendly option.
By following these steps, you can save money and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Our product range is beautiful and unique, and includes clothing, accessories, gifts, and homeware.
