DESIGN FOR CIRCULARITY

Sustainability info

Bennu is a ready to wear brand, whose mission is the recover of sartorial unsold garments with the aim of reducing new clothing production.

More precisely, its mission consists of recovering from the past in order to protect the future. Indeed, the brand reclaims vintage tailoring or unsold stock with a commitment to reduce the pollution caused by the production of new garments.

One of the main concepts of the brand is reflected into the fact that this label is therefore freed from the concept of gender, just as it has been freed from the concept of size: this allows anyone to recognize a product without having to resort to filters or other pre-set categorizations.

Each garment is made into a unique numbered piece, reinterpreted using trimmings, fringes, fabric scraps and other applications. Exposed seams represent the beginning of a new life.

Value Chain

Its value chain is predominantly focused in Italy and 100% of the products are made of pre-loved items coming from deadstocks.

About packaging, the brand's sustainability commitment is guaranteed by the Eco Packaging Alliance, a program created by one of its supplier (https://www.noissue.co/about-us#why-we-exist). It contributes to global reforestation planting one tree at each order made by the clients.

Moreover each item is wrapped in a biodegradable tissue paper, closed with biodegradable sticker and compostable tape. Inside each box, a growing card is inserted: it contains seed and it can be plant to let flowers grow.

Community

The brand is working closely with a tailoring foundation based in Milan, which has the purpose of helping women and giving them the opportunity to re-build a new life.

The brand urges sustainable activities through Instagram live calls with sustainable experts to make consumers more aware about this theme. In addition, it also participates in sustainable events about fashion in Milan.

Customer Care

The brand suggests its customers the way they can keep garments longer and how to wash their items in an eco-way.
