SUSTAINABILITY

Nitto is aware that sustainability in fashion is an utopia, however we can do our best to minimize the environmental impact. In addition, Nitto promotes the reuse and repair of the pieces.

UN World Goal 12: RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
“Economic growth and sustainable development require us to reduce our footprint on nature as quickly as possible by changing the way we produce and consume our goods and resources.”

Slow Fashion Philosophy

We value the materials and the caring hand that create each piece. Most of production is on demand based on small batches. Zero waste of material, all the excesses are reused.
Natural materials chose from the closest manufacturer. Respect for the dignity and the well being of the workers.

We are slow, a Nitto sweater can involve the work of a woman up to 50 hours.
Wait for it, it will last longer.

Unique Design

We produce products based on a unique mindset, which means that we only produce one of each design. We do this to avoid overproduction and to allow the consumer to buy something unique and special.

All used yarns are natural base, no chemical treatments, they are composed of 100% Brazilian silk, 100% Brazilian wool, 100% Brazilian cotton or sometimes 85% cotton with 15% of recyled material.
Alpaca yarn is coming from the close Chile.

Packaging

Our bags, business cards, boxes and hang tags are all manufactured in either sustainably certified paper, recycled paper, uncoated paper, recycled materials or manufactured for high recycling. Some boxes are reused from our suppliers’ orders.
