👠 Put your best foot forward – Fashion for Good launches project with major fashion brands to kickstart sustainability in footwear, emphasising circularity and innovation throughout the entire footwear lifecycle. 🌍 Why do we need sustainability in footwear? Across the world, 23.9 billion shoes are produced each year – often made from over 40 materials, the complexity of the construction of shoes makes them difficult to recycle with many finding themselves in the landfill. 👣 How will this project address these issues? Teaming up with Zalando and adidas, the project aims to reduce shoe production waste through circular design, sustainable materials, traceability, and end-of-life solutions. 💚 And it’s not just Fashion for Good who are driving change throughout the city – Amsterdam-based fashion brands like MUD Jeans offer a lease-a-jean model allowing customers to return old jeans for recycling and G-Star RAW's project with Wageningen University & Research and Dutch Cotton launching the "Homegrown Cotton" project to reduce the environmental impact of cotton cultivation. 🔗 Find out more about the future of footwear here: https://lnkd.in/dtGQbm_B #SustainableFashionAMS #PlanetFriendlyFashion #CircularFashionAMS #FutureOfFootwear

Today is International Volunteer Day!  At Denim Privé, we recognise the incredible power of volunteers to drive meaningful change in communities and industries worldwide. From grassroots initiatives cleaning up our environment to advocates championing sustainability in fashion, volunteers are the heart of progress. In the denim industry, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a movement powered by individuals who care. We’re inspired by the volunteers who: ✅ Educate others about the impact of fast fashion. ✅ Promote ethical practices in the supply chain. ✅ Organise recycling and upcycling programs for textiles. At Denim Privé, we’re committed to doing our part—partnering with brands that prioritise sustainable practices and ensuring that our work respects both people and the planet. This International Volunteer Day, let’s reflect: - How can we, as individuals and businesses, support volunteers driving sustainability in fashion? - How can we amplify their efforts and contribute to a better future? Let’s take a moment to appreciate the dedication, passion, and hard work of those who make a difference. Whether it’s through big projects or small everyday actions, every effort counts. 💙 Thank you to the changemakers who inspire us all! If you know a volunteer or initiative making waves in sustainability, tag them in the comments—we’d love to celebrate their work. #InternationalVolunteerDay #Sustainability #DenimForChange #EthicalFashion #DenimPrivé

Will Zara’s Charmed Run Continue? Inditex reports third-quarter results that are expected to show steady growth at its biggest brand, which has built strong defenses against rivals at the top and bottom of the market. The Business of Fashion' article which is below is very informative once again 👏 ; frankly speaking I am waiting to see brands 2025 results after Trump Zara has had a charmed run these last few years, and most analysts are expecting owner Inditex to report another quarter of robust sales growth on Dec. 11. The Spanish fast-fashion giant has built a seemingly impenetrable moat around its biggest brand. Wednesday’s results should be watched for clues about how it plans to maintain and expand those defenses.Inditex’s success stems first and foremost from its ultra-efficient supply chain, which is designed to quickly produce limited runs of on-trend items, often in factories close to their intended market, which cuts down on shipping time and logistical costs. This has helped the company improve margins even amid the rise of Shein and Temu, which have built even faster and cheaper production methods. Inditex said in May it would spend €1.8 billion ($1.9 billion) on new distribution centres to maintain its logistics edge.Zara’s long history of nearshoring should also help shield the retailer should President-elect Donald Trump follow through with his promise to levy steep tariffs on Chinese goods once he takes office next month (less so if he also slaps duties on imports from Turkey, Spain and other garment manufacturing hubs favoured by Inditex). The US is a key growth market for Zara, which has about 100 stores in the country, with more on the way. a Trump-induced trade war or a post-IPO Shein moving upmarket are two possible scenarios to watch for next year.

If you’re in footwear production, this is something to remember. Relying on a single supplier might seem efficient, but it’s risky. One delay, one supply issue, and suddenly, your entire timeline is at risk. I’ve seen so many brands fall into this trap, and it’s avoidable with the right approach. At Mahar Overseas, we’ve made it a priority to ensure flexibility in sourcing. Here’s why — and how it helps: Build resilience in your supply chain: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. By working with a diversified group of suppliers, you’re safeguarding production timelines. It’s not just about the number of suppliers but the quality and reliability they bring. Work with partners who understand your needs: Every market has its nuances. Reliable local partners not only help with sourcing but provide insights into trends, materials, and even the logistics that might surprise you. They make all the difference in ensuring smooth operations. Quality and adaptability go hand-in-hand: When you have flexibility, it doesn’t mean compromising standards. With the right sourcing network, you can maintain quality at every step while keeping things adaptable. In the end, it’s all about having options. Supply chains are unpredictable — your production shouldn’t be.
