Circular Fashion Practices

SUSTAINABLE
HAUTE COUTURE

Valerie Garmino redefines couture through circular fashion—where every piece is made to endure, crafted with care, and designed to return gracefully to the earth. From slow fashion, artisanal techniques to sustainable materials and mindful packaging, beauty flows in a continuous, conscious cycle.

Production:
The Art of Slow Creation

• Handcrafted Focus: Emphasis on traditional craftsmanship that uses less energy, reducing the fashion industry’s environmental impact.
• Minimal Machinery Use: Haute Couture pieces are handmade, reducing reliance on industrial machinery and lowering energy consumption, unlike mass-market fashion.
• Fewer Carbon Emissions: Lower emissions due to minimal machinery use and slower production processes.

Quality over Quantity:
Crafted to Endure

• On-Demand Production: Made-to-order and limited editions offered to retailers. Custom-made services for direct clients help reduce waste inventory.
• Longevity: Timeless, high-quality pieces encourage consumers to value, cherish, and keep garments for years.

Support for Artisans
& Tradition

• Preserving Heritage Skills: Working with skilled artisans who use sustainable, traditional techniques like hand embroidery and weaving.
• Fair Wages and Conditions: Ensuring fair compensation and respectful working conditions for artisans and the workforce.
