Impact Patina

Designed in the Netherlands, made in Portugal.

From the brand: We believe anyone who has the privilege of making a physical product bears responsibility for their impact. Being considerate of resources, both environmentally and ethically, should be the baseline and not a marketing tactic. In the case of PATINA, our initial focus is on:

  • Working with manufacturing partners who value their workers and offer fair compensation + safe working conditions
  • Small-batch production directly with independent businesses within the EU 
  • Using materials that are OEKO-TEX certified with low minimums to limit over-ordering
  • Designing tight, seasonless collections that are recut as dictated by demand
  • Limiting plastic packaging throughout production cycle, fulfilment and dispatch
  • Direct fulfilment of orders from our HQ in Amsterdam
  • Limiting printed collateral and streamlining packaging elements in favour of reusable, multifunctional elements
  • Supporting independent creatives and compensating them fairly for their contributions

Constantly moving towards “better” is the only way for us to justify our participation in the marketplace with any integrity.
