Embracing Sustainability with ECONYL: The Future of Fashion

The Magic of ECONYL

At Nordenstjerne, we are proud to incorporate ECONYL into our designs. ECONYL is a revolutionary polyamide made from nylon waste, including carpets, fabric scraps, fish nets, ropes, and industrial waste. Unlike traditional nylon, ECONYL is a high-quality and exclusive material that can be reused indefinitely. This innovative fabric boasts a 90% lower CO2 emission compared to conventional fabrics, making it a cornerstone of our commitment to sustainability.

A Stamp of Approval

Using ECONYL is not just about choosing a sustainable fabric; it’s about earning a mark of distinction. To work with ECONYL, brands must obtain a license that needs to be renewed every other year. This ensures that only those truly dedicated to sustainability can use this exceptional material, reinforcing our commitment to high standards and environmental responsibility.

European Craftsmanship

Nordenstjerne is dedicated to producing all our garments within the EU. Our thread, fabric, and staff are all based in Europe, ensuring high-quality production and fair labor practices. Our fabric is produced and woven in Italy, known for its rich textile heritage. The final garments are sewn in Romania, where we benefit from a high minimum wage, state-of-the-art machinery, and ergonomic workstations. This meticulous process ensures that every piece we create is crafted with care and precision.

Designed in Denmark

Our founder and designer, Alissia, designs every piece in Denmark. We focus on creating timeless designs that form the foundation of a sustainable wardrobe. By prioritizing timelessness, we help our customers build wardrobes that last, reducing the need for constant replacement and minimizing waste.

Protecting Biodiversity

Unlike natural fabrics such as cotton, which have a significant negative impact on biodiversity, ECONYL has no adverse effects on the environment. Cotton farming often involves the use of pesticides and large areas of land, leading to the destruction of forests, grasslands, and wetlands. This not only harms various species but also contributes to significant biodiversity loss. Additionally, cotton production consumes massive amounts of water and releases polluted water into rivers and lakes, further damaging ecosystems.

A Kindness Approach

At Nordenstjerne, kindness is at the heart of everything we do. We provide exceptional customer service and maintain kind and respectful communication with our vendors and production staff. Every part of our value chain is thoughtfully considered to ensure sustainability. For example, we minimize CO2 emissions by transporting our clothes via land rather than air.

By choosing Nordenstjerne, you are not only investing in high-quality, timeless fashion but also supporting a brand that prioritizes sustainability and kindness in every aspect of its operations. Join us in making a positive impact on the planet, one beautiful garment at a time.
