WHAT WE STAND FOR
The human desire to express ourselves through fashion is important. It
allows us to show the world who we perceive ourselves to be. However,
the impact that fast fashion is having on our planet is at crisis
stage. It is well documented that the fashion manufacturing process is
putting an unprecedented amount of pressure on our planet’s
resources in a bid to fuel the ever-growing desire to consume fashion
products.
At Simétrie we use natural materials to ensure our carbon footprint
is minimal where possible. Our dyes and glues are water-based, meaning
they are not harmful to produce or use, nor do they present any
dangers to our planet’s soils or waterways.
Our leathers are vegetable tanned kangaroo which is a natural,
low-emission leather that is harvested from wildlife – not farm-bred
animals. Kangaroo leather is a strong yet lightweight material and is
considered to be one of the eco-friendliest leathers available.
We don’t claim that our materials are 100 percent perfect yet for a
long term solution. We continue to seek raw materials that are as
ecological as possible for the health of our planet and our human
resources.
