This week, we’re meeting with Sandya Lang, she’s sustainability manager at Nudie Jeans, a Swedish denim brand. The company made sustainability their core priority using mainly organic cotton and recycled fibers. Sandya makes sure every step of the product sticks to their values: from choosing the rights suppliers, the factories to the retailers, she looks out for absolute transparency and traceability.
But more than that, she explains how the long life of the product is important and how they encourage the customer to repair the jeans instead of throwing them away. That’s all about their ‘Repair Shops’, offering an exclusive customer service worldwide.
Discover their environmental philosophy and how they challenge themselves to always do better as a fashion company.
