KIVARI SUPPLY CHAIN

KIVARI’s investment in a cleaner, brighter future begins with our supply chain. Our commitment to mother earth is that each of our processes - from the first stitch until our piece finds a loving home in your wardrobe - is as responsible as possible. To do this, we’re choosing to work with the most energy efficient production processes available to us—from our choice of freight right through to fabrications. Transparency is so important to us at KIVARI, to see how our garments are made and where, check our Meet The Makers page.

Our commitment to mother earth is that each of our processes - from the first stitch until our piece finds a loving home in your wardrobe - is as responsible as possible.

It is the small changes that equal a big impact, which is why we’re making a conscious effort to consolidate our shipments to ensure we’re sending more of our treasured garments, fewer times a year. A big shift for us happened in 2021 as we moved our transportation mode from Air freight towards Sea freight, which massively reduced the output of carbon emissions. To put that into context, if two tonnes of freight were transported 5000km, sea freight would emit 191% less CO2e than if it was sent via air.

At the heart of KIVARI’s craftsmanship is a mission to use the most durable, breathable and natural materials across our collections—such as linen and cotton. As KIVARI has grown, we’re constantly working with our suppliers and global community to explore new fabrics and sustainable practices to further our ethical journey and lessen our carbon footprint.

LENZING^TM

In an effort to move away from rayon and viscose, we’re switching future collections to LENZING^TM fibers. LENZING^TM are committed to the ethical sourcing of their wood and reforestation for forests used for rayon. Their fibers come with a forest certification, and only use sustainably harvested beech trees that are quick growing and regenerative. Not only this, but LENZING^TM are global leaders in environmental standards due to their use of environmentally friendly energy sources, the extensive use of waste heat and the complete treatment and purification of all waste water.

ECONYL®

As Kivari organically evolved into designing and producing swimwear, it was a no-brainer to work with ECONYL®, a company producing regenerative and recycled nylon. ECONYL® regenerated nylon is made from waste and items that would otherwise end up in landfill or pollute the ocean, such as fishing nets and fabric scraps. But perhaps most importantly, ECONYL® is infinitely recyclable and opens up a multitude of possibilities for sustainable fashion. Head here to learn more about this game-changing fabric.
