Our Commitments
Sustainability at AUVÉE begins with one question: Would we feel comfortable placing this fabric against sensitive skin every day? That standard shapes every subsequent decision.
Our approach prioritizes:
- Tightly edited collections over endless variety
- Certified natural materials throughout
- Natural components instead of plastic defaults
- Transparent, limited-batch production
- Design for longevity, never planned obsolescence
We acknowledge imperfection while maintaining unwavering commitment to safety, honesty, and respect for people and materials.
Certification Standards
Materials touching skin receive our highest scrutiny:
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class I Linen
Our linen comes from authorized partners of Yixing City Huayun Linen Textile Co., Ltd. (Cert. No. 24.HCN.48353). Independent testing confirms freedom from harmful substances, meeting the strictest human-ecological requirements for direct skin contact, the same standard used for baby clothing.
GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton
All linings and pockets feature GOTS-certified organic cotton from Herbal Fab in India, a dedicated sustainable textile supplier. This certification traces the entire supply chain from farm through finishing.
OEKO-TEX Certified Natural Buttons
Even buttons meet our standards. Natural mother-of-pearl and corozo buttons from Gritti Vietnam Co. Ltd. carry OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class I certification, ensuring comprehensive material safety.
Simply put: these pieces are designed for sensitive skin and daily wear, tested beyond basic requirements.
Ethical Production
Our partnership with The Atelier Chiang Mai is built on proximity and mutual respect. We grow together at a sustainable pace.
Core principles:
- Calm, respectful work environment, never high-pressure production lines
- Fair compensation for skilled craftsmanship
- Flexible arrangements allowing work-life balance
- Growth plans designed around team capacity, not exploitation
Our makers aren't distant contractors, they're integral to AUVÉE's identity, and our expansion considers their wellbeing first.
Circular Thinking
Our current approach to circularity: buy thoughtfully, choose quality, extend use.
We support this through:
- Timeless silhouettes that resist dating
- Durable natural materials that age gracefully
- Quality construction for sustained regular wear
- Comprehensive care guidance for gentle maintenance
Packaging reflects these values: FSC-certified kraft boxes, paper tissue, and certified home-compostable mailers (HEROPACK); minimizing plastic while protecting garments.
Future plans include exploring take-back programs, resale pathways, and dedicated care services. We'll introduce these when we can support them properly, never as superficial marketing.
Our promise: every AUVÉE piece is created with the expectation you'll want to keep it, wear it often, and care for it across many seasons.
