As every year, this year too we are not participating in Black Friday sales, as they encourage unsustainable shopping habits. Our pieces are crafted to last much longer than a single season, and we maintain fair prices year-round to ensure our artisans receive the returns they deserve. By avoiding overproduction, we also aim to reduce waste.
In 2020, Black Friday costed the planet 429k tons of CO2. The equivalent of 435 flights from London to New York.

Up to 80% of Black Friday purchases end up in landfills after just one or even zero uses.

During 2022 Black Friday week, 1.2 million tons of CO2 were released in the air by trucks transporting our packages around Europe. 600,000 tons more than an average week.

Instead of buying something new, we invite you to give our pieces a second life or take care of them with our services.
