Sustainability info

Càpe concept is an Italian ready to wear and outerwear brand, which focuses on creating a tailoring project combined with a sustainable approach.

The main goal is to provide customers with excellent quality garments, always taking care of the environment.

Value Chain

Its value chain from raw materials to logistics is almost completely focused in Italy.

Its production is made in Verona, Italy.

About raw materials, the brand uses Econyl, which is 100% nylon, regenerated from the plastic of the oceans, and organic cotton, which obtained the GOTS certification.

The product development activity to make prototypes is made with materials already in stock in order not to waste new fabrics.

The brand has visited all its suppliers in order to be aware of the working conditions of its workers.

In terms of packaging Càpe concept uses both recycled and regenerated materials. For its e-commerce the brand packs the items in recycled paper, while for the retailers it provides customers with a fabric bag made with the scraps from its production and same paper used for the e-commerce.

The brand produces items just on order and does not have unsold collections, but some types of fabrics from older collections are used for the new ones.

Company Sustainability

The brand's board of management is made up of more than 80% women.

Cape Concept sorts more than 80% of its general waste.
