Every Rose Boreal product is ethically made, from the sourcing of yarn to the finished garment. We prioritize fair labor practices and ensure that all workers involved in our production chain are treated with respect and dignity.
Being ethically made means that we prioritize the well-being of all individuals involved in our supply chain. We believe in fair wages, safe working conditions and respect for human rights at every stage of production.

Our materials include recycled polyester made from discarded plastic bottles, recycled nylon sourced from old fishing nets, recycled cotton, organic cotton, polyamide derived from repurposed tires, Tencel modal and Naia acetate.
By incorporating these eco-friendly materials into our products, we strive to reduce our environmental footprint and promote sustainable practices in the fashion industry.
At Rose Boreal, ensuring the ethical and sustainable sourcing of our products is paramount.
We meticulously vet our suppliers and partners to ensure they align with our values of fair labor practices, environmental responsibility and ethical production.

Waste reduction is a core focus at Rose Boreal. We implement strategies such as utilizing sustainable packaging materials, optimizing production processes to minimize fabric scraps and repurposing leftover materials whenever feasible. Through these efforts, we strive to minimize waste generation and promote a circular economy in the fashion industry.
Rose Boreal embraces a low waste philosophy by implementing various strategies throughout our operations:
1. Minimal Waste Production: We work closely with our manufacturing partners to minimize waste generation at every stage of the production process. This includes optimizing cutting techniques to reduce fabric scraps and implementing efficient manufacturing practices to minimize resource usage.
2. Eco-Friendly Packaging: We prioritize the use of eco-friendly packaging materials, such as recyclable and biodegradable options, to minimize environmental impact. By choosing sustainable packaging solutions, we aim to reduce waste and minimize our carbon footprint.
3. Second Chance Collection: Our Second Chance accessory collection exemplifies our commitment to waste reduction by repurposing "unusable" fabric scraps into new and innovative products. This initiative gives new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded, contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy.
4. Damage Control: We take proactive measures to minimize environmental harm by reducing the use of water, pesticides, and chemicals in our production processes. By prioritizing eco-friendly practices, we aim to minimize pollution and preserve natural resources for future generations.
5. Many of our fabric ends and cutting scraps are donated to small companies with initiatives in a circular economy. These companies transform our donated materials into pretty accessories for people and clothing for dogs.
Through these initiatives and ongoing efforts, Rose Boreal strives to operate as a low waste company, minimizing our environmental footprint and promoting sustainability in the fashion industry.
