REDUCING OUR IMPACT

At Iutta, we create with the future in mind and we concentrate our efforts on building a more sustainable business model by every step we take. We are a slow-fashion brand focusing on designing evergreen seasonal collections, not creating trends to join.

While we want to express ourselves through art and pass on to future generations the mastery, leatherwork and savoir-faire, we constantly refine our process and make improvements to reduce our footprint.

The manufacturing takes place in our atelier in Bucharest, Romania working with local craftsmen and creating all our products in-house which helps us to have total control on our production. Our artisans have a vast experience in working with leather goods, giving shape to high quality items.

We provide high standards of working conditions, and a safe and healthy environment to all our employees. We take measures to ensure an ethical work environment including, but not limited to, providing fair wages, having fair working hours and encouraging diversity in all forms.

We don’t own a warehouse, we operate on demand and on very small stocks which we store in our showroom, mainly for fitting purposes. This means longer waiting times for production but it also means that we only bring in fresh and meaningful ideas which remain in style.

PINATEX

QUALITATIVE FABRIC

Pinatex is a natural textile material created as an alternative to leather from leaf fibers which remain from the existing pineapple harvest.

NATURAL TEXTILE

Inspired by the abundance of natural materials and created from repurposed agricultural waste sourced from farming communities it has a positive social and economic impact.

MATERIALS & INNOVATION

We source our materials from a small number of carefully selected suppliers that are mainly based in Europe. By working with factories run by local family businesses we maintain a more favorable sourcing and production process, reducing air-pollution, transportation and lead times.

We are committed to growth but in a sustainable and ethical way. To reduce our footprint, we are using materials that come from natural sources or as by-products of other industries. At the same time, we are constantly researching innovative materials that maintain the quality of products and have a lower impact on the planet.

LEATHER

To ensure the high quality and durability for some of our products we use calf leather which we source from small European family businesses. All our leather is traceable as we know the origin of it, as all our suppliers’ working conditions in their production units are ethical and environmentally friendly.

PINATEX

This vegan leather is made from sustainably harvested pineapple leaves to preserve the organic beauty of nature, a unique and totally eco-friendly alternative. Pinatex is an ethically sourced natural material from farming communities and is a by-product of the existing pineapple harvest.

PACKAGING

Our packaging is simple and elegantly designed to take you on a joyful unboxing experience. We wrap all Iutta pieces in paper and place it in cardboard boxes, which can be reused or recycled.

ORGANIC COTTON

Made from 100% natural fiber, cotton is an environmentally and skin-friendly material. It is organic, biodegradable and allows the skin to breathe in both hot and cold seasons.

LINEN

This natural textile is obtained from flax plants and it is a recyclable and biodegradable fabric. Linen needs a small amount of resources for cultivation and production, resulting in an absorbent, lightweight material that is suitable for stylish summer outfits.

WOOL

Wool is the oldest fiber used for clothing. This natural material is preferred due to its softness, durability and warmth during low temperatures. Moreover, it is easy to maintain and pleasant to touch.

OUR COMMITMENT

We believe in sustainability and the impact each of us have on the environment, so we are careful in our selection of materials, investing constantly in new ideas and innovative projects to keep delivering premium products, crafted with passion.

The materials we use come from natural sources, and are gentle on the body and the environment. We have a zero waste approach and we reuse almost all our production remains in order to reduce our footprint.
