Sustainability at FJK By Farah Kadhimi
We believe that true luxury lies in creating garments that honour beauty, responsibility and exclusivity. Every piece is crafted using 100% natural fabrics such as silk and wool, carefully selected for their longevity, purity, and minimal environmental impact.
By combining timeless design with premium finishing techniques, we create fashion that not only transcends seasons but also endures in quality and relevance.
Our commitment is simple: to design garments that are made to last, to be loved, and when the time comes, to return gracefully to the earth.
“What comes from nature should return to it without harm. True luxury is responsibility made visible.”
Planet First: Reducing Environmental Impact | We design with nature in mind.
Our collections are made using 100% natural fabrics, primarily silk and wool sourced from mills that guarantee the purity and traceability of their materials. We avoid synthetic or synthetic blends, ensuring that each piece is biodegradable and recyclable at the end of its life.
We operate on a made-to-order and small batch production model, significantly reducing waste and avoiding unnecessary stock. Our local manufacturing in London helps lower transportation emissions, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint compared to offshore production models.
By choosing timeless design, premium natural materials, and meticulous craftsmanship, we extend the life of every garment, meaning fewer resources are needed over time, and fashion landfill waste is prevented.
Ethical Craftsmanship | Every FJK piece is produced at a small, independent sewing studio in London.
Our production partner operates under strict health, safety, and quality control policies to ensure an ethical, respectful working environment.
-
Seamstresses work flexibly, with fair project based arrangements and full autonomy over their schedules.
-
A strict health and safety policy is enforced, regular risk assessments are performed.
-
Fair, respectful treatment is at the heart of their culture, true to the spirit of craftsmanship we believe in.
-
No forced or child labour
We do not outsource to mass production factories. Every FJK piece is touched by skilled artisans hands under ethical conditions, reinforcing that luxury should never come at the cost of dignity.
Animal Welfare Commitment | We design beautiful garments without cruelty.
-
We never use animal skins such as fur or exotic leathers.
-
Our wool is sourced from responsible suppliers where animals are not harmed for their fibres.
-
We prioritise natural materials that honour the life cycle of animals and the ecosystems they live in.
Sustainability for us means respecting all living creatures, creating beauty without inflicting harm.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions | Local production, global responsibility.
By keeping our entire design and production process local to London, we significantly reduce transport-related emissions.
We use natural fibres that require less chemical processing compared to synthetic fabrics, reducing the overall industrial footprint.
And by encouraging longevity through quality, not disposability; FJK helps shift the fashion system toward lower consumption and less waste.
Our Promise | Built with respect. Crafted with intention.
FJK is committed to fashion that lasts for women, for makers, and for the planet.
