SUSTAINABILITY

Our Sustainable Core Pillars

SLOW FASHION
& TIMELESS DESIGN

  • Slow Fashion Philosophy

    We create with purpose — not speed. Each piece is made-to-order or produced in small batches to minimize waste, ensure quality, and encourage intentional consumption.

  • Timeless Design Over Trends

    Our haute couture collections transcend seasons and fleeting trends. Every silhouette is meant to last in style, structure, and emotional value — designed to be passed down, not thrown away.

Luxury is not fast. It’s intentional, slow, and meant to last.

 

 

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
& NATURAL MATERIALS  

  • Environmentally Friendly Materials

    We use only premium, sustainable materials such as premium baby alpaca, organic cotton, silk, natural toquilla straw and biodegradable dyes. Every fiber is chosen for its environmental footprint, quality, and longevity.

  • Zero Waste Production Ethos

    Offcuts from production are reused in trims, accessories, or creative upcycling projects. Made-to-order practices prevent overproduction, a key source of fashion waste.

We design for beauty, produce for purpose.

 

ARTISAN EMPOWERMENT

  • Artisan Led Production
    We foster long-term, respectful relationships with our artisans and ateliers. Each piece is rooted in respect, fair compensation, and the preservation of traditional craftsmanship.
  • Next Gen Training
    Youth apprenticeships Empowerment workshops / fashion education & trend awareness
  • Cultural Leadership
    Position artisans as guardians of cultural heritage, transforming them into ambassadors of their traditions and fostering pride and identity through their craft.  

True beauty is built on ethical foundations

CONSCIOUS LUXURY

  • Conscious Luxury

    We define luxury not just by how something looks, but how it's made, who makes it, and its impact. Our values guide every decision — from design to delivery.

True elegance is never rushed, and never disposable.

LUXURY CRAFTSMANSHIP

  • Luxury Artisanal Craftsmanship
    From intricate embroidery to fine tailoring, each garment is a result of hours — sometimes days or months— of skilled, manual work by master artisans and couturiers. This is craftsmanship at its highest level.

Heritage is not a reference — it’s our foundation.

 

CIRCULARITY

  • Packaging and Shipping
    Packaging ans shippment Every order is packaged with biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable materials. We continuously explore more sustainable logistics partners and carbon-conscious delivery options.

The journey doesn’t end at purchase — it evolves with you.

 


Sustainability at the Core


Valerie Garmino set out to build a fashion legacy rooted in purpose — one that seeks to create beauty while making a meaningful impact on the world. At a time when sustainability was not widely recognized and few guidelines existed, Valerie forged her own path, becoming a pioneer in the field.

Her pursuit led her across continents in search of environmentally conscious materials such as baby alpaca, pima cotton, and toquilla straw, while also seeking the most skilled artisans in the world. For each design, she carefully selects the right team to bring craftsmanship to life. By working with family-owned businesses and artisans in Italy, France, Peru, and Ecuador, she ensures a global approach that preserves cultural heritage and honors traditional skills. Each piece is a testament to artistry, cultural preservation, and a commitment to excellence without compromise.

With her Haute Couture line, Valerie brings this philosophy to its most elevated expression.
Each piece is an intimate work of art — sewn with care, shaped by mastery, and guided by reverence for both the process and the planet. In her world, luxury is defined by intention, where refinement and responsibility coexist in every thread.
