Materials

Driven by a circular business model and mission to transform the way people buy, wear and consume clothing, at Fanfare Label, we design and produce garments that have longevity and focus on material health, durability, recyclability and traceability.

The materials we use to create our contemporary collections are purpose-driven to:

Reduce waste by rescuing textiles from landfill and giving fabrics a second chance.

Regenerate natural systems by using innovative certified sustainable fabrics.

Fanfare Label materials.

GOTS Certified Organic Cotton

GOTS is the gold standard for sustainable processing of textiles made from organically grown fibres. Every step of the supply chain is checked from the harvesting of the cotton to production, processing, manufacturing and labelling when a material is GOTS Certified. Products certified by GOTS must have a minimum of 70% organic fibre content and not contain any harmful chemicals. It also means that working conditions are safe throughout the supply chain.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Cotton

When a fabric is covered by the OEKI-TEX Standard it means that it has gone through the product testing system that certifies the safety of textiles and textile products specifically certifying unharmful and non-toxic textile products. This certification focuses on the harmful substances to the human body of the material made. Our OEKO-TEX Cotton is eco-dyed using water based inks.

Linen

Harnessing one of the most sustainable raw materials in the world, linen is made from flax. All parts of the flax plant are used meaning zero waste and the fabric is also fully biodegradable. Unlike cotton, flax can grow in poor soil making it a less resource-hungry plant.

Recycled Cotton & Upcycled Materials

Created by converting cotton fabric into cotton fibre, our recycled cotton prevents cotton scraps from going to waste (pre-consumer), gives new life to cotton pieces already in existence (post-consumer) and saves water, energy and dye as the textile has already been produced.

Deadstock Fabric

The very existence of deadstock materials proves that the industry is overproducing. Created when mills make more than they need and are left with surplus fabric, these leftovers are regularly sent to landfills and so whilst we don’t like to encourage the use of deadstock materials, we strive to source these from smaller enterprises that create less waste. We then take these small quantities of scrap fabric and use them to embellish our jeans and upcycle our garments.

Wool Off-Cuts

We source wool offcuts from rug and fabric companies that cut off the edge of the rug or fabric before sending it to the customer. These off-cuts would most likely be sent to landfills and pollute the environment, so we rescue and repurpose them to embellish our jeans. Our cashmere wool offcuts go through a similar story - these are scraps that are too small to be reused by the factory and so we collect them and find a way to transform them into something new, like our Recycled Cashmere Oversized Jumper.

Recycled Paper Buttons

Our buttons and trims are sourced from a sustainable manufacturer who is a member of the UNFCCC (Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action). Using 100% renewable energy, all buttons are made from recycled materials including 80% recycled paper and they use blockchain to track and monitor their supply chain.

Recycled Polyester

To make our labels and zips, we use recycled polyester. Also known as rPet, this is a material made from recycled plastic bottles. The production of recycled polyester uses fewer resources than the production of new fibres and generates less CO2 emissions.

Our Certifications

We are proud to create clothing from materials that have been certified independently.

Global Organic Textile Standard

GOTS is the leading standard for the sustainable processing of organic textiles. Every step of the supply chain is checked from the harvesting of raw materials to processing, manufacturing, packaging and labelling. Products certified by GOTS must have a minimum of 70% organic fibre content and be free from any harmful chemicals. The certification also ensures that working conditions are safe and there is no discrimination or child labour occurring throughout the supply chain.

OEKO -TEX Standard 100

Materials that hold the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 label ensure that every element of the fabric has been tested for harmful chemicals and is verified safe for humans to wear. Globally standardised, the test criteria are updated at least once a year from new scientific research.

Global Recycled Standard

GRS is awarded to show that the content of recycled materials in a product has been tracked and verified by a third party. Products with this certification highlight their commitment to responsible social, environmental and chemical practices in production.

Peta approved Vegan

The PETA approved certification expresses that the animal rights organisation has certified this material to be vegan. When this logo is used you can be confident that the material does not support the exploitation of animals.
