Commitment To Sustainability
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.
How?
Thru domestic sourcing...
JE MÉRITE USES REMNANT FABRICS SOURCED DOMESTICALLY IN THE USA.
REMNANT SOURCING REDUCES LANDFILL WASTE, CONSERVES RESOURCES, AND REDUCES GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS, REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY.
BY SOURCING FABRIC REMNANTS, WE ARE SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES AND CONTRIBUTING TO OUR LOCAL ECONOMY.
Sustainable packaging...
JE MÉRITE PARTNERS WITH ECOENCLOSE, A U.S. BASED PACKAGING COMPANY COMMITTED TO ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING.
OUR SIGNATURE GIFT BOX IS MADE OF KRAFT 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.
And domestic manufacturing...
JE MÉRITE IS MADE DOMESTICALLY IN NEW YORK CITY.
THIS OFFERS AN UNMATCHED TRANSPARENCY IN OUR PRODUCTION PROCESS ADHERING TO NY'S LABOR AND ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS.
JE MÉRITE MAINTAINS A LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT AS OUR GOODS ARE NOT IMPORTED FROM OVERSEAS, REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF PRODUCTION.
Why?
BECAUSE IT MATTERS TO US.
BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IMPECCABLY MADE GOODS THAT ARE MADE WITH BOTH YOU AND THE EARTH IN MIND.
