Acne

Buying pre-owned items improves the sustainability of a garment. Research shows extending the average life of clothes (2.2 years) by just three months of using an item actively would lead to a 5-10% reduction in each of the carbon, water and waste footprints

Since 2008, Acne Studios has been a member of the organisation Fair Wear Foundation (FWF). They support them in their work to monitor and improve labour conditions at the factories where their products are made. Every year, FWF does a 'Brand Performance Check' where the brands performance is evaluated and graded

Since this item is preowned, the entire garment is made from waste that would otherwise be discarded, giving it a new life. Buying preowned helps to keep garments in the loop for longer creating a more circular fashion system
