Sustainability

Minka Dink London is a female led fashion brand, based in London. We are committed to promoting sustainability practices and a ‘slow fashion’ ethos wherever possible. We are aware sustainability is a hugely critical issue within the fashion industry, and it is therefore constantly at the forefront of our minds. We aim to create beautiful products that make you feel your best, but we believe that doesn’t have to come at the cost of the planet. Please read below about our efforts so far.

Manufacturing & Fabric Sourcing

Our products are manufactured in the UK, Vietnam and Turkey. All the factories implement sustainable production practices, reduce waste and conserve resources. We only work with suppliers and manufacturers who share the same values as us and are committed to ethical labour practices. All the employees have good working environments, are paid a competitive wage and have regular breaks and holidays. The majority of our fabrics and trims are sourced from local fabric shops in London. Wherever possible we use organic cotton and recycled polyester and offcuts of trims.

Reducing Waste

We have worked hard to find manufacturers that work with small order quantities, and therefore, we produce our products in very small batches to reduce waste as much as possible. We also have Sample Sales about twice a year, where we sell any products with slight defects or other samples that haven’t made it to full production, in order to give every item a home. Any items not sold in our sample sales are then donated to charity. Secondly, we use fabric offcuts wherever possible. For exmaple, our dinky bras are made from the left over silky fabric used to make all our silk tops.

Other

We offset all our carbon emissions caused by the transportation of our goods. All our packaging is recyclable, but also very sturdy, so you are able to use the package multiple times. All our insert cards and tissue paper and 100% recyclable.
