A La Eve’s Sustainability Journey.

Inclusive Bridal Fashion With Purpose

You can’t call yourself inclusive if you don’t show what sustainable and inclusive actions you take, especially in sustainable bridal fashion. In this first blog, our first report, we want to share what we have done so far, and where we are going in our commitment to sustainable bridal fashion. Because at A La Eve, we don’t just design dresses. We design decisions. All in service of creating an Eve for every body.

Where Sustainable Bridal Fashion Begins

To begin with, sustainability starts with intention. Every design is handmade in the Netherlands, under fair and safe conditions. We keep things local, not just because it’s practical, but because it matters. Read more in Why Ethical Bridal Fashion Starts Close to Home.

Moreover, we power all our operations with 100% renewable energy. Over 90% of our logistics use low-emission transport. Additionally, customers can return every outfit through our reuse and recycling program. Each piece continues its story. These choices align with SDG 12.

Our First Transparency Report

This is our first report on sustainable bridal fashion. We’re still small, so we focus our actions. However, impact doesn’t need to be loud to be real. Here’s what we’ve already done:

• We use 100% renewable energy across all operations, contributing to SDG 7.
• More than 90% of our logistics rely on low-emission transport, reducing our climate impact and supporting SDG 13.
• We’ve built a return and recycling system that gives each dress a second life. Nothing goes to waste. This effort supports SDG 12.
• Each year, we dedicate 5% of our revenue to diversity and inclusion initiatives, in line with SDG 10.
• Our team handmakes every piece locally under safe and fair conditions, supporting SDG 8.
• We collaborate with LGBTQ+ communities through storytelling, casting, and partnerships, building visibility under SDG 10.

Where We’re Headed Next

🌱 Better Materials for Sustainable Bridal Fashion

Looking ahead, we aim to source at least 25% of all fabrics sustainably by 2026, reinforcing our vision for sustainable bridal fashion. We are also helping our suppliers switch to clean energy—50% by 2025, 75% by 2026. These steps support SDG 13.

Furthermore, we will ensure that all returned garments are re-loved, refurbished, or responsibly recycled, contributing to SDG 12.

✂️ Smarter Waste Reduction and Circular Practices

In addition to smarter sourcing, we plan to cut textile waste by 50% by 2027, compared to 2025. Our made-to-order system helps us only create what’s needed. By the end of 2026, all packaging will be recyclable, compostable, or made from recycled materials. These efforts further our role in SDG 12.

🔍Traceability and Transparency in Bridal Supply Chains

We want everyone to understand where materials come from. By 2027, we aim to track 100% of our core fabrics. Starting in 2026, we’ll publish annual updates on our sourcing. These steps show our commitment to open and responsible practices.

♥️ Inclusive Sizing and Representation in Bridal Fashion

In 2026, we’ll expand our fit range to include more bodies and identities. After all, real inclusivity means designing for real people—not ideals. That’s why this work connects to SDG 10.

🌍 racking Our Progress with the SDGs

To stay accountable, we use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to measure our progress. These goals guide us to stay clear, honest, and ambitious. In 2026, we’ll publish our first SDG Progress Report to show where we shine, and where we still need to grow. Learn more at sdgs.un.org/goals.
