Lsjregal's Sustainability Policy

 Sustainability Manifesto: Fashion with a Conscience

Our Commitment to Sustainability: At LSJREGAL, we are driven by a deep commitment to sustainability. We believe that fashion should not only make you look good but also make you feel good about the impact it has on the planet. Our sustainability manifesto is a living document that outlines our strategies, principles, and goals in the pursuit of a more responsible and regal fashion industry.

Sustainable Design Strategies:

  • Material Selection/ Sourcing: We prioritise  sustainable fabrics including locally sourced, sustainable fabrics such as Asoke, Akwete, Ankara. These not only celebrate cultural heritage but also support local communities and reduce our carbon footprint.
  • Ethical Production: We work closely with indigenous artisans who are paid adequate wages, ensuring they have safe and healthy working conditions.
  • Zero-Waste Design: We strive to minimize waste by creating patterns that maximize the use of fabric, reducing scraps.
  • Longevity and Timelessness: Our designs are crafted for enduring style, with a focus on pieces that stand the test of time rather than following fleeting trends.

Incorporating  Circular Economy System

  • Made to Order: Each piece is made to order as we aim to reduce the waste generated by fast fashion and overproduction of fashion pieces. This is to contribute in the reduction of  pollution caused by the industry.
  • Repair and Recycle: We actively encourage our customers to repair and recycle their LSJREGAL pieces. We provide resources for repairs and accept old items to recycle or upcycle into new creations.
  • Bi-Annual Collections: Our bi-annual collection release is designed to reduce overproduction. We produce Spring/Summer collections annually, and Holiday Edits (F/W) to fit the West African Holiday and Summer clocks. We carefully plan our collections to align with real demand, preventing excess inventory and waste.
  • Transparency: We are transparent about our production processes and materials, so customers can make informed choices and understand the sustainable value of their LSJREGAL purchases.
  • Reducing Fashion Waste: Our approach discourages impulsive buying and promotes thoughtful purchasing. We believe that fashion should be an investment in quality, not a disposable commodity.

Packaging

In order to reduce the amount of plastic waste produced by the industry, as we are well aware that 1/5 million tons of plastic waste is produced globally as a result of single use packaging, 

Biodegradable packaging: LSJREGAL has adapted the use of Paper bags and cardboard boxes, which are highly biodegradable and may be reused and repurposed effectively. This packaging type may be paid for at checkout. 

NB: Cardboard boxes may incur extra shipping charges as the weight will be calculated by the volume ; L x B x H of the box.

Up-cycleable Packaging: Fabric drawstring bags have also been adapted, made from good quality satin and cotton, of which is inherently cheaper than the above listed and may be repurposed to store jewelry, shoes or any accessories to keep them away from dust.

Drawbacks and Loopholes: As committed as we are to sustainability, we acknowledge that there are challenges on this journey:

  • Costs and Affordability: Sustainable materials and ethical production can be costlier, making it challenging to maintain competitive pricing.
  • Consumer Education: We understand that educating consumers about the importance of sustainability and the value of sustainable fashion can be a hurdle.
  • Environmental Impact of Shipping: The carbon footprint associated with shipping products to customers globally is a concern we are actively addressing.

Despite these challenges, we remain resolute in our mission to provide elegant, sustainable fashion that empowers you to wear your values. We constantly strive to improve and innovate, working towards a more regal, responsible, and sustainable future.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. 

Together, we can rewrite the rules of fashion and create a world where style meets responsibility.

With love,

The LSJREGAL Team.
