RESPONSIBILITY VISION

RESPONSIBLE FIBERS RIGHT NOW

Matinique has a long history and since 1973, it has been a vital brand value to create high quality clothing at affordable prices. We are making it available for a wide audience to buy quality pieces made to last, while doing our best to decrease the environmental impact.

We each have a responsibility in the way we consume products and how much we buy. Our aim is to deliver products that are made to be worn many times and that can be taken care of.

Because we are a part of an industry where the consumption of energy, water and chemicals are high, we constantly aim to stay updated on new materials and ways of producing in a more responsible way. Based on knowledge and close collaboration with our suppliers we are sourcing preferred materials according to Textile Exchange.

To take responsibility for our supply chain we are educating our suppliers and offices in preferred fibers and new standards for materials and fibers.

We are extending the lives of our products through the use of long-lasting materials with an emphasis on clever caring.

OUR PARTNERS

Today 64,7% of the materials in our collections are responsibly sourced (Better Cotton, Recycled Polyester, Organic Cotton, Responsible Wool Standard, Responsible Down Standard, Leather Working Group etc.) We strive to become better every day and we continuously develop our methods to be more responsible in everything we do.

SUPPLIERS

We focus on working closely with a limited, well-known and trusted group of suppliers. This way we are assuring that we can help each other in developing the optimal qualities, materials and at the same time making sure all international standards are kept. We believe in longterm, close relationships. As a part of DK Company all our suppliers have a well-developed process of auditing, educating and tracing. Investing in and engaging with our network of suppliers is one of our most crucial responsibilities as a modern brand – using our size and impact to help support smaller change-makers across the world.

PACKAGING

100% of our cardboard boxes and hangtags are made from FSC® certified materials or recycled paper/cardboard. 100% of our poly- and master bags are recycled plastic.

PRODUCT LIFE

We each have a responsibility in the way we consume products and the quantities we buy. We aim to deliver products, that are made to be worn many times. We are extending the lives of our products through the use of long-lasting materials with an emphasis on clever caring. Our NOOS (never out of stock) collection stands for 30% of our yearly turnover and is a collection of timeless garments made to be worn season after season without losing relevance – it is the great classics you will always want to have hanging in your closet. They are mostly made from responsible sourced fibers such as Better Cotton, TENCEL TM, 100% Merino etc. Treat them well and they will last for years.
