We are very aware that fashion and consumption don’t come hand in hand, but we are challenging ourselves to promote sustainability and reduce our emissions at every touchpoint of the business.
Our Sustainability Mission
We go beyond making beautiful clothes
Our core values are at the heart of everything we do and position us as a brand of the future. We are a larger-than-life luxury lifestyle brand championing slow fashion at an accessible price point.
WE ONLY PRODUCE LIMITED QUANTITIES
Slow Fashion In Practice
The Lisou collection is full of wearable, classic shapes with a modern twist and are made from the finest silks. All prints are designed in-house by Rene, which makes every Lisou print exclusive.
We believe in quality above all else, and a return to the days of slow fashion and treasure box investment pieces. All of our products are designed exclusively by Rene in the UK and manufactured in Portugal by a family-run factory. We make very limited collections with small size runs and we ensure that any additional leftover fabric is repurposed for linings and accessories.
SUSTAINABLE AT HEART
Our Race To Zero Waste
At Lisou, we are committed to continuously evolving and refining every part of our brand to be the very best it can be. Sustainability isn’t just a goal for us; it’s a core value that drives everything we do. We are actively working towards becoming a zero-waste brand, ensuring that every step we take is kinder to the planet.
Currently, our signature silk twill is a natural, biodegradable fabric that offers both luxury and environmental responsibility. We've also taken care to ensure our packaging is made from recycled cardboard and printed using non-toxic dyes, reflecting our commitment to thoughtful, sustainable design, from the inside out.
As we grow, so does our mission to make fashion more responsible. Without ever compromising on creativity, quality or style.
ONE TREE PLANTED
Every Purchase Plants A Tree
In 2021 we teamed up with the non-profit organisation One Tree Planted. We believe in the importance of protecting the environment and trying to give back everything we take out from the earth.
Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity. They also provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere and are key ingredients in 25% of all medicines.
With this in mind, we have decided that with every full-priced clothing item purchased, we will plant five trees across four continents - Africa, North America, Latin America, Asia and Australia.
Help us give back to the environment, create a healthier climate, protect biodiversity and help reforestation efforts around the world. All by shopping with Lisou!
THE BEAUTY OF UPCYCLING
Crafted From Fabric Offcuts
We repurpose leftover fabric to create linings for our garments, ensuring every piece is finished with 100% silk for a luxurious feel inside and out. This same commitment to sustainability and style has inspired a spectacular selection of accessories, all crafted in our iconic Lisou prints.
Our 100% silk-printed accessories are a joyful and conscious way to brighten up your wardrobe. From silk scrunchies and headbands to tote bags and pyjamas, each item is made from fabric cutoffs. Helping us reduce waste while offering you something truly special. Designed with care and available in our bestselling prints, these pieces are proof that fashion can be both beautiful and responsible.
