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.
