Responsibility

Every garment is conceptualised and designed in-house in London. We source fabrics from diverse locations, recognising that each part of the world offers something uniquely valuable to our collections. We collaborate with women-led production units in China and India, who bring our designs to life.

We are privileged to work alongside artisans who have mastered their craft, utilising skills passed down through generations. We deeply value their artistry and strive to preserve this living history by supporting their work.

It is vital that everyone involved in our production process is paid a fair living wage. For this reason, we partner with organisations that uphold this standard, ensuring a high degree of transparency—whether through onsite presence or the disclosure of relevant information.

élise is committed to using high-quality, naturally derived materials. Our brand promise is to ensure that by 2024, all our materials will have clear traceability, confirming sustainable practices throughout the entire production process. We are actively working towards a closed-loop production system.

All our materials, woven labels, packaging, and tags are plastic-free and often made from recycled materials. As we continue to evolve, we aim to increase the use of recycled materials, dead-stock, biodegradable fabrics, non-plastic buttons, and ensure that the life cycle of our products meets necessary sustainability standards.
