Certification
OEKO-TEX
We want to make a difference within the fashion industry. Oeko-Tex® is a health label for textiles, which ensures that every component in the style is guaranteed and tested for harmful substances and chemicals. They set environmental requirements for how the textiles can be produced.
It is for example a requirement that only a limited amount of a selection of substances have been used, e.g. allergens and carcinogens, pesticides, heavy metals, and azo dyes that are both harmful to human health and the environment.

We support
A BETTER OCEAN
The consequences of our daily use of plastic are seen on our beaches, coasts, nature, and the ocean all over the world.
For that reason, we have chosen to donate all profits from the sale of our bags in our Concept Stores to A Better Ocean. This is an organization that cleans up plastic that gathers in the ocean before it harms animals, the environment, and potentially humans.

We are a part of
SLOW FASHION
The fashion industry is often characterized by fast fashion - an industry where the term “out with the old and in with the new” is used way too often.
At Bruun & Stengade we believe in Slow Fashion. We only have 2 annual seasonal collections - Spring / Summer and Autumn / Winter – we have based our identity on the fact that fashion must be used for a long time and not necessarily replaced with new trends several times a year. We try to distance ourselves from the Use-and-throw-away mentality and try to help reduce over-consumption in the textile industry.
We try to use as sustainable materials as possible every season. In our Spring / Summer collection, we have a strong focus on linen, where we introduce linen shirts, linen polos, and linen shorts. Linen is a sustainable material, as it is durable and requires much less washing than, for example, cotton. In addition, it grows quickly without the use of pesticides or other chemicals. Whereas our Autumn / Winter collection focuses on strong knitwear that can last for several seasons.
However, we do realize that we’re not perfect, and we’re constantly working on improving our brand.

We choose the right
POLYBAGS
Our suppliers are carefully selected to ensure both quality and environmentally friendly styles for all collections - also they are required to supply sustainable polybags for all our styles. All our polybags are made of up to 100% recycled material.
