CRUELTY-FREE ZONE: NO LEATHER, FUR, OR ANIMAL TESTING

Vegetarianism is at the core of our values, so no animals are harmed by our products. Our collections steer clear of leather, fur, and exotic skins, and the glues in our products are completely free from animal ingredients. Our dedication to cruelty-free practices drives our values and pushes us to explore innovative materials.

SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

WE PLANT A TREE WITH EVERY ORDER

With each ACIEN piece you purchase, we plant a tree to support reforestation projects and aid carbon capture. Together, we will plant trees in the Eden Reforestation Projects in Madagascar, the Preservation of the Mt. Elgon Ecosystem in Uganda, and other rainforests worldwide, in collaboration with Tree Nation.

EMBRACING CIRCULARITY

Our dedication to reducing waste propels us to embrace repurposed, recycled, and regenerative alternatives. We prioritise fully fashioning techniques, ensuring a process that generates no offcuts of yarns or fabric, maximising the utilisation of materials at every stage.

FULLY FASHIONING TECHNIQUES

The "fully fashioning" technique in knitting involves shaping garment pieces directly while knitting, minimising the need for cutting and sewing. It aligns with zero waste principles by optimising material usage and reducing fabric waste. This approach allows for the creation of seamless, tailored garments.
