For the team at 1 People, sustainability, ethical production, quality and trust are not just bywords but values that actually make up the very essence of their brand, their products and their business practices.
1 People are committed to working in a way that is fair, helpful and most importantly forges a human connection, shared values and mutual goals, a bond between makers and wearers, between producers and consumers – hence the name 1 People.
As part of their commitment to working within a business model that prioritises wellbeing for both people and the environment, 1 People doesn’t use fabrics that have any attachment to unethical sourcing, heavy pollution and forced labour. What’s more, the brand has its own Chief of Sustainability Officer who is responsible for researching the source of each fabric and controlling the quality of the material to meet the brand’s sustainability standards , which includes the GOTS or OEKO-Text certifications. The specific sustainable fabrics that 1 People has selected to work with include ECONYL ®, TENCEL ™ and Piñatex ®.
1 People’s Vegan Bag Collection embodies all of these core values. This collection is designed entirely using Piñatex®, an innovative vegan textile engineered from pineapple agriculture by-products (pineapple fibres). Piñatex® is a sustainable alternative to leather that provides a solution to the heavy impact created by mass production of leather – Piñatex® reduces carbon footprint, polluted water and deforestation. How? As a raw material, Piñatex® does not require new lands, a huge amount of water or pesticides to be harvested. The great news is that Piñatex® still mimics the qualities that we love most about leather – it is high quality, durable and versatile.
1 People’s Vegan Bag Collection is also a strong example of the brand’s unique design aesthetic. Scandinavian heritage, Danish design and the hygge lifestyle have all been strong influences on the design philosophy – which is embodied by the catchphrase “Less is More.” The Vegan Bag Collection includes bags in neutral colours to match any outfit, as well as more playful bright colours for the bold and daring fashionistas.
Functionality has not been forgotten. Each bag has been carefully crafted and structured to create a simultaneously practical and luxurious accessory.
And it does not end there – as well as bags, 1 People have created a range of activewear, swimwear, underwear and accessories for the modern and conscious woman. Two more brand new colletions, Ready to Wear and Shoes, the most anticipated lines are joining the range before the year ends.
Let’s empower each other by walking as 1 People, together.
