At Accessorize, we believe that fashion should feel good – not just in how it looks, but in how it’s made. That’s why we’ve been on a journey to become more sustainable, thoughtful, and conscious in everything we do.
We know there’s still a long way to go, but we’re proud of the progress we’ve made so far!
What We’ve Achieved So Far
Over the past five years, we’ve been working hard to make better material choices for you and for the planet. From organic cotton to recycled polyester, we’re gradually introducing fabric swaps that reduce environmental impact – and we’re just getting started.
This season, we’re proud to share that 71% of our sterling silver is now recycled, helping us lower our resource use without compromising on beauty or quality.
Our People Matter
We’ve been working with many of our suppliers for over 50 years – relationships we deeply value. To ensure their wellbeing, we require all our suppliers to follow a strict Code of Conduct, which includes:
Fair wages
Safe working conditions
No forced or child labour
No harsh or inhumane treatment
No discrimination
Supporting Artisan Craft
Behind every hand-finished piece is a story. We work with artisans across the world, many of whom create in small workshops or from the comfort of their homes. We ensure these talented makers are paid fairly, and we carry out additional monitoring to protect their welfare and uphold ethical standards.
Proud Members of the Ethical Trading Initiative
We’ve always believed in the life-changing power of trade. As a founding member of the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI), we’ve been advocating for improved working conditions wherever we do business.
Since 1994, the Monsoon Accessorize Trust has also supported disadvantaged communities across Asia through education, healthcare, and income-generating projects.
Looking Forward: Textiles 2030
Sustainability is a collective effort. We’ve joined WRAP’s Textiles 2030, the UK’s leading fashion sustainability initiative. By doing so, we’ve committed to:
Reducing our carbon footprint by 50%
Cutting our water footprint by 30% by the year 2030
Together with other leading brands, we’re working towards a future where fashion leaves a lighter footprint
This is Just the Beginning
From your favourite bags and earrings to the people who make them – every part of our brand is being reimagined with sustainability in mind.
Thank you for joining us on this journey 💚
