FINDING
The textile industry is the second most polluting industry in a world that is increasingly exposed to the threat of an ecological catastrophe every day. Ignoring this reality, pretending that it does not concern us, or lamenting our powerlessness to act are not options for us.
Manifesto
Leon & Harper has always been a responsible company and a committed brand. Leon & Harper is today Born Again.
Born Again it is an affirmation. The affirmation of a renewed state of mind, regenerated by awareness of the urgency and the need to act today to preserve tomorrow.
Born Again it is a conviction. The conviction that if fashion remains by nature anchored to the present, it can no longer free itself from the demands of a future for which we are collectively responsible.
Born Again it's a promise. A promise that we make first to ourselves, but also to our children. The promise to make eco-responsibility a priority in all aspects of our activity, from the creation and design of our products to their distribution, including of course their manufacturing.
Born Again It’s finally a piece of clothing. A garment that keeps this promise, a garment that is part of this resolutely committed approach and the conviction that the well-being of the planet is as important as that of the women we dress.
We do not claim to be flawless. We deny nothing of our requirements in terms of creation and quality. We can't do everything, but we are aware that by making ecology our priority, we can do a lot. We can do better, make better clothes, clothes that respect both women and the environment.
