commitment to sustainability
je mérite is sustainably sourced and responsibly manufactured in new york city
Je Mérite is a slow fashion brand
With a transparent supply chain, Je Mérite is sourced and manufactured in New York City
Our goal? To minimize the negative impacts of the fashion industry on the environment and workers
We promote timeless personal style and designs over trends and fads, encouraging capsule wardrobing and a more mindful and deliberate approach to building your wardrobe
We are committed to “low waste” design
Creating clothing and accessories with minimal waste during the production process
With a focus on reducing or eliminating the amount of fabric, material, and resources used to make garments, as well as finding ways to reuse or recycle waste materials
what does that mean to us?
domestic sourcing
Je Mérite uses remnant fabrics sourced domestically in New York City; from fabric to trim, all sourced in the USA
Remnant sourcing reduces landfill waste, conserves resources, and reduces greenhouse emissions, which can help to reduce the environmental impact of the textile industry
By sourcing fabric remnants within New York City, we are supporting local businesses and contributing to the local economy of our founder's home town
sustainably packed
Je Mérite partners with ecoenclose, a us based packaging company committed to eco-friendly packaging
Our signature gift box is made of recycled paper and we encourage all of our muses to reuse and continue to love each and every one
Our tissue paper, polybags, and shipping box is 100% recycled and recyclable
domestic manufacturing
Je Mérite is made domestically in New York City

Because it matters to us
Because you deserve impeccably made goods that are made with both you and the earth in mind
