Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Nausicaa NYC, we believe that style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for sustainability. From our humble beginnings to our evolution as a brand, we’ve always strived to ensure that our business practices are as eco-conscious as they are fashion-forward. Our sustainability mission is rooted in the pillars of our operation: ethical sourcing, fair wages, minimal waste, quality, and continuous innovation. Here’s how we put these into action.
Handmade Origins and Ethical Expansion
Nausicaa NYC was born out of a passion for handmade clothing made from deadstock and low-impact materials. This attention to detail and respect for our resources has been a part of our DNA since day one. As we grew, we realized the need to expand our products beyond the handmade.
Low Quantities, Lower Waste
We believe that the clothes we wear should not just be fashionable, but also durable. By focusing on the quality of our clothes, we encourage their longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements and thus, cutting down waste. We want the pieces you buy from us to be staples in your wardrobe that you’ll love and wear for years to come.
This season, we’ve introduced a second line that incorporates factory-made pieces. Rest assured, our dedication to ethical practices has not been compromised in this transition. We’ve ensured that each person involved in the production process receives fair wages and works reasonable hours.
Innovating for a Sustainable Future
As we continue to grow, we’re committed to keeping sustainability at the heart of our innovation. We understand that the world moves fast, but our resources need to be consumed slowly. We’re constantly exploring new ways to create fashion that is kind to our environment and want all Nausicaa family members to be our witnesses.
