Planet
Gentle Fawn is creating a path toward a more sustainable future. Our aim is to implement change to be gentle and reduce the negative impacts on our environment. We are currently identifying areas with the highest potential for change, both in our office operations and our product design, by exploring lower impact materials, processes and packaging. We will be sharing our journey with you along the way.
• All ecommerce mailing bags are made from plant based materials and are disposable in home composts.
• We have low impact fabrics such as Modal, Tencel, recycled materials and organic fibers, with the goal to continue increasing their usage within our collections. Learn more about our low impact fabrics here
• Our garments are packaged in biodegradable poly bags, reducing the time these plastics spend in the landfill.
• 100% of our hang tags are made from recycled fibres.
