FACTORY TESTIMONIALS

“We started working with Peachy Den in late 2018, and in 2019 Issy designed the very famous Kernel Jumpsuit which has been featured in most of the newspapers in the UK. It's always a privilege to work with Peachy Den and Issy because I have worked with many other companies in my time, and Peachy Den is my favourite company to work with. Our favourite style we have produced is the Kernel Jumpsuit - because we mastered the way to work with it. I have been in the fashion business for 43 years and in our business it is very unusual to work with honest, polite and respectful people, and the Peachy Den team are always very nice to work with.”

CHRIS (LONDON)

“We have been working with Peachy Den since April 2022. We really liked the (Cindy) seersucker program because of the characteristics of the fabric, colours and fitting as well as the details. Working with Peachy Den has been very gratifying both in terms of personal relationships and in terms of the different products we develop together.”

TERESA (PORTUGAL)

“We started working with Peachy Den just last year, but I believe in long term business relationships and I really hope that we continue building our partnership for many more years to come. Our favourite product we have produced for Peachy Den so far is our very first order, which was The Robyn Puffer Jacket. I was very excited for us to start with one of the most complicated styles in the Peachy Den product range. It is very important and precious for us that Peachy Den trusted us and gave us that order. We believe that this order helped us to open a door being a business partner with Peachy for future orders.”

  • HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR PRODUCT TO GET THE BEST WEAR

    We believe that Peachy pieces are for life, and responsible garment care is key to preserving each piece. The way you wash, dry and store your clothing can have a huge impact on its lifespan, so we want to provide you with clear information on how to look after each piece. That’s why each garment has its own care label sewn in, and we provide detailed care guidance by fabric in order to maintain the durability and longevity of our pieces.

  • At Peachy Den, we champion craftsmanship and that’s why we’ve made it easier for you to access seamless and high quality tailoring and reparations to ensure your items can be loved for longer. We’ve partnered with SOJO to offer bespoke tailoring on a selection of our items, whether you’re buying them now or they’re already in your wardrobe and need a little TLC.

responsible garment care methods

Here are some of our recommended responsible garment care methods:

  • Spot wash or sponge clean any marks or stains to reduce the need for frequent washing.
  • Embrace re-wearing your items as often as possible before washing them, helping to conserve water and energy.
  • When washing, opt for a cool or 30-degree quick cycle in the machine to minimise energy consumption.
  • Say no to tumble drying and instead choose air drying to preserve the fabric and reduce carbon footprint.
  • Consider using guppy bags during machine washing to capture microfibers and prevent them from polluting waterways.
  • Look for green dry cleaners in your area to minimise exposure to harmful chemicals.
  • Utilise our partner Sojo for bespoke alterations and repairs, ensuring your garments last even longer.

Garment End of Life Care

We're passionate about promoting the circular fashion economy, and we encourage you to consider the following options for your garments when they reach the end of their lifecycle:

  • Resell your garment to give it a new life with someone else who will love and cherish it.
  • If donating, ensure your piece is clean and in good condition to maximise its potential for reuse.
  • Recycle damaged garments at a local textile recycling centre or drop-off point to divert them from landfills and promote sustainable practices.

Embracing Responsibility: Our Commitment to Sustainability

Responsibility is more than a notion for us; it's our guiding principle. We prioritise mindful production, partnering with top-tier suppliers across Europe to ensure the highest standards. Our dedication to corporate and social responsibility is unwavering as we work closely with our suppliers to uphold transparency in the global supply chain. Sustainability is at the core of everything we do in garment manufacturing, acknowledging our impact on the environment, communities, and stakeholders. Here's how we're making a difference:

Environmental Responsibility

  • Waste Management: We implement comprehensive strategies for waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and safe disposal, opting for sustainable packaging materials to minimise single-use plastics.
  • Renewable Energy: We actively seek manufacturing partners utilising renewable energy sources to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and strive for carbon neutrality.
  • Responsible Sourcing: We prioritise sustainable and eco-friendly materials, giving preference to those with third-party certifications for compliance with recognized environmental and social criteria.

Ethical and Social Responsibility

  • Worker Rights: We partner exclusively with manufacturers committed to upholding workers' fundamental rights, including fair wages, safe working conditions, and freedom from discrimination, child labour, and forced labor.
  • Supply Chain Transparency: We promote transparency and traceability throughout our supply chain, collaborating with suppliers to ensure ethical sourcing practices and adherence to environmental and social standards.

Continuous Improvement and Collaboration

  • Innovation and Research: We invest in research and development to advance sustainable technologies, materials, and manufacturing processes, striving for continuous improvement in environmental performance.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: We engage and collaborate with employees, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to foster a culture of sustainability and identify opportunities for positive change.

Responsible Collaborations

We are always considering and adopting new initiatives to help extend the life cycle of our products.

  • Repair: SOJO is integrated within our website to offer and encourage our customers to use their bespoke alteration service on our products to ensure the perfect fit. Should your Peachy piece need repairing after too much love, Sojo can also mend and repair garments.
  • Recycle: In 2023 we offered our customers the opportunity to recycle their old Peachy products in exchange for discounts on new items.
  • Rewear: We have hosted Swap Shops, enabling our community to exchange old Peachy items for pre-loved selections from our store.
  • Rent: We have proudly collaborated with rental platforms like Hurr and By Rotation to offer managed rental opportunities, reducing environmental impact.

More Deadstock, Less Waste:

Our ‘Deadstock Drops’ were created in the spirit of reducing landfill waste. Leftover fabrics are matched with our best-selling patterns to create one-of-a-kind pieces we know you’ll love and wear. We've transformed pre-consumer fabric offcuts into capsule collections, like our super-sized scrunchie made from our deadstock Cindy fabric in collaboration with Goodsquish. Our bestselling Lennox trousers have been released in limited deadstock colourways like Lead, Blueprint and Granite.

Our "Peachy Preserves" projects are all designed, developed, and manufactured in house, keeping our design and development teams closely involved with the production process allowing a perfect opportunity to assess how we can apply conscious practice found in one off pieces into our to larger production runs, as well as inspiring creativity and individuality. Last year, we stripped down and reconstructed deadstock football jerseys for our Parris Jerseys in the Glory Days capsule. Our recent ‘Heirloom’ capsule collection featured garments made from upcycled mens shirts and second hand doilies. Our design team consistently strives to find new ways to breathe life into fabric and garments that would otherwise be destined for landfill.

Our sustainability policy is dynamic, subject to regular review and updates to align with advancements in sustainable practices and stakeholder expectations.
