SABILI AND THE Environment
At SABILI, we prioritise the planet - ecological consciousness is central to how we develop and run our operations.
SABILI selects its materials and construction techniques carefully to minimise the environmental impact. We also aim to develop initiatives aimed at product longevity, waste reduction, and minimising our environmental footprint.
In our journey, we recognise reducing environmental impact isn't an end destination but a constant evolution. We believe in growing while upholding our ethical commitments from the outset.
We aim to offer a model that prioritises the planet while delivering high end desirable products.
"Nature is not a place to visit. It is home."
We source surplus high-end fabrics from renowned international fashion houses alongside local British mills to reduce our supply chain footprint. We prioritise creative thinking for our trim and accessories such as buttons and snap fasteners, hunting down new archived supplies from decades past. Our aim is to provide unique considered touches, whilst minimising waste and promoting circularity
Our production process relies on local, independent, eco-friendly workshops. This approach significantly reduces our footprint and ensures our products are not only made responsibly but also contribute to local economies.
We value the longevity of our products, reflecting this in their durable construction and timeless styling. By avoiding trend-led, disposable fashion, we further contribute to waste reduction.
"The way you do anything is the way you do everything"
At SABILI, we believe in the longevity of our creations and the merit of mending. Our initiative, SABILI REPAIR, offers a complimentary mending service for well-loved garments. We aim to lengthen our products lifespan and keep products in circulation for longer.
Each repair leaves visible traces of culture and creativity - adding unique character and charm to our products. Our brand heritage is from a long line of alterationists and traditional sewing - our goal is to educate our customers on the traditional time honoured craft of keeping garments pristine with durable repair
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."
In addition, we present SABILI RENEWED - a distinctive collection of creatively restored garments. This range gives a second life to damaged items returned by our customers and pieces that didn't pass our strict quality checks – providing our production team a creative canvas to demonstrate their flair.
Influenced by our founder's mother's skilled craft, our repair and renewed programmes aren't just about recycling; they're artistic pursuits.
We use distinctive elements like hand-cut appliques, careful hand-sewing and traditional decorative techniques, such as Japanese sashiko or Palestinian tatreez embroidery.
Through these, we hope to infuse each piece with a unique narrative and beauty, making it truly one of a kind.
At SABILI, the environment isn't just a tagline - it's the fabric of our business.
