Sustainability
Our sustainable focus
At Le Olive, people and nature are at the heart of what we do. Our collections are not fast fashion: our sleep & loungewear is designed to last and be loved for years.
Fewer returns
Our product size charts help reduce returns. Personalised items cannot be returned, as every piece is unique. Our return rate is below 1%, something we’re proud of. Together with our customers, we help care for the environment: personalised pieces often become memories to keep for years.
Our choice of materials
We choose high-quality materials to help our collections stay beautiful for years to come. Since 2022, we have used modal made from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests. Within the Le Olive Baby collection, all products are OEKO-TEX® certified: garments with an OEKO-TEX® label are produced in an environmentally and human-friendly way, without exposing makers to harmful substances and with fair working conditions. The care instructions on our website help you look after your pieces and preserve their quality for longer.
Head Office
We also consider it important to take steps towards sustainability at our headquarters. We are constantly working on how to operate in a more environmentally conscious manner.
We always donate samples to charitable organizations, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Within our office, we minimize the use of paper, opting for digital processes wherever possible.
In our Atelier, many young talents work consciously and with care and attention to our collections. We organize our embroidery processes to minimize errors and thus keep our waste to a minimum.
Heating and cooling are achieved through heat pumps, and we no longer have a gas connection. Starting from 2023, our entire headquarters will be self-sufficient with solar panels. We can proudly say that all our products will be 100% sustainably personalised.
Rainwater from the roof is collected in special tanks and used to flush the toilets. We are environmentally conscious in this aspect as well.
Lastly, in 2022, we replaced all the lights in our headquarters with sustainable LED lighting.
The origin of our products
For us, sustainability goes beyond reducing returns and choosing materials thoughtfully. Good working conditions matter too. Apart from our own embroidery atelier, we do not own factories. We work with manufacturers that use high-quality materials and provide good working conditions.
Shipments
We strive to use recycled materials as much as possible. This includes our polybags (used for shipping bathrobes) and shipping boxes. Additionally, we consolidate collection items in one box whenever possible to reduce the number of packages or pack packages as compactly as possible to fit more packages into a delivery vehicle.
