Lastelier, ensemble leaders
Lastelier, manager, ensemble
To do good and do things well, we have believed since our beginnings that acting on several fronts on the path to sustainability is the best way to promote a more responsible and moderate approach to consumption.
For Lastelier, acting on several fronts means:
- have brand values that serve as our daily compass
- have our brand, our values and our actions certified
- carry out concrete actions and contribute financially to make things happen by donating part of our turnover to an association linked to our industry
- actively participate in industry change by working together to deliver solutions
Our values
Our commitments are recognized with 1,618
We are part of the 1,618 community which selects sustainable and responsible luxury brands. We have always been transparent and done things to the best of our ability and in the midst of the era of greenwashing, it seemed important to us to put things in their place and show that what we do, we try to do to the best of our ability.

We actively participate in change with Paris Good Fashion
We are a member of Paris Good Fashion which aims to make Paris the capital of more responsible fashion by 2024. It is an association which brings together the biggest players in the sector to move forward together on major themes in the development of fashion that is more respectful of the environment and human rights. The mission of Paris Good Fashion focuses on concrete actions, the sharing of good practices and collective intelligence because it is together that it is possible to succeed in this change.
We help concretely by donating part of our profits to 1% for the planet
We are proud to be a member of the 1% for the Planet collective. Each year, we commit to donating at least 1% of our annual turnover to associations working to preserve the environment. The fashion industry is a polluting industry and although we work a lot with natural materials or recycled leathers, it was important for us to make a donation to an association aligned with the challenges of our sector of activity.
Our upcoming actions
We are very involved in the evolution and research of best practices. That doesn't mean that everything is perfect, but it does mean that we always strive to do better. And because we have always been honest about our successes and challenges on the path to sustainability, we explain to you what we are looking to improve this year. If you would like to help us, you are welcome
Reduce our carbon footprint. We release few pieces per year and working with excellent craftsmen who produce for major houses also means that they take care of our limited series between two larger productions. We often find ourselves behind schedule, hence the increase in air transport. This is a relative fact because we only have one collection per year, but it remains a point that is really important to us.
We decided to move forward our schedule to gain autonomy. And if a piece that we intended to release is not ready in time, we will simply postpone its release. This is also one of the advantages of only offering timeless pieces that do not suffer from trends.
Find an alternative to polybgas (plastic bags in which accessories are placed during shipment) with, for example, compostable packaging. We must first sell off our huge stock of polybags, which gives us a little time to study different possibilities.
