sustainability

VON&ZU stands for long-lasting, timeless, and fair fashion. Therefore, it is important to us to act in harmony with people and nature in the long term. In the following points, we outline our current contribution to a more sustainable approach to fashion and what we want to achieve in the future.

Limited Production

We manufacture our clothing exclusively in limited series. This means that, based on demand, we only produce as many pieces as our retailers actually order. By limiting our production, we use raw materials consciously, avoid overproduction, and thus prevent surplus stock and the associated loss of value of the products.

Socially Fair

For us, sustainable production primarily means social responsibility. We manufacture exclusively in EU countries (Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania) and are committed to ensuring that all our producers work under fair conditions and are paid fairly. We are particularly committed to supporting women, whose jobs in our factories enable them to live free and independent lives.

Our producers are long-standing partners of our factory. They are familiar with our quality standards and know what matters to us. We maintain close contact with them and regularly visit them on-site, which allows us to gain a much better understanding of their working methods, problems, and possibilities, and to respond accordingly.

Crafted in Europe

We design and manufacture our sample pieces in our factory in Gemünden am Main. This allows us to develop perfectly formed garments without logistical constraints and long transport routes. Our distance from the design table to the tailor's studio is just 5 meters.

By producing in Europe, we also reduce our transport routes to a minimum, resulting in significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

The best thing about our "Crafted in Europe" mentality? We can support crafts on our continent and ensure that good know-how and high-quality tailoring can be passed on for many generations to come.

Long-lasting fashion

For us, the most important contribution to more environmentally friendly fashion is extending the lifespan of our clothing and creating a long-lasting style. Therefore, we focus on high-quality materials and impeccable craftsmanship.

Conscious and high-quality consumption can conserve resources in the long term and, through this small contribution, reduce global CO2 emissions.
