Sustainability
Lona Scott Values
At Lona Scott, our values are rooted in offering the finest products while encouraging mindful consumption. We design seasonless garments and accessories that embody timeless style and versatility, reducing the need for excess and supporting a more thoughtful approach to building a wardrobe. By investing in high-quality, long-lasting pieces, our customers enjoy true luxury while standing with us against the harmful impacts of fast fashion.
Since our beginnings decades ago, sustainability has been central to our philosophy. Long before it became a global trend, we focused on minimising our footprint at every stage of production. Today, that commitment is stronger than ever. From carefully sourcing the world’s finest cashmere to create durable, enduring materials, to continually reducing packaging, to crafting pieces designed to last a lifetime, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of responsibility.
Sustainability remains at the heart of our brand, shaping our legacy of mindful luxury. We envision a future where conscious consumption and elegance go hand in hand, setting a new standard for fashion that is both enduring and responsible.
Natural Fibre Benefits
As Cashmere and Wool are natural fibres, the inherent antibacterial properties means it can be washed less frequently, by hand at lower temperatures. While we recommend to hand-wash Cashmere and Delicate pieces with warm water and our Cashmere Detergent to protect the original properties of the garment and its shape, this gentle method not only helps maintain the luxurious softness and longevity of the fabric but also reduces the need for any energy intensive machine usage, overall having a more positive impact on our environment.
Extra Steps
In keeping with our dedication to sustainability, our design team uses a careful and comprehensive design process. We support a more deliberate, eco-friendly approach to style that infuses all aspects of the production of our products. We carefully create each piece with longevity in mind, from starting with an original concept, then evaluating and improving, while also reducing packaging to the minimum.
Innovative Packaging
Each year, our team researches new opportunities to reduce packaging and find more eco-friendly solutions. This year, we successfully re-designed three of our most popular products, cutting packaging and storage needs by 30%. In 2023, we proudly earned the Climate Pledge Friendly badge for our Laundry Detergent, whose innovative formula delivers twice the washing loads of a regular supermarket detergent while using a bottle half the size, significantly reducing plastic waste.
People, Partners and Animals
Consciously and consistently treating workers, animals and the environment fairly and with all respect is our main priority. We are strongly against animal testing/abuse, and we periodically check that all partners and collaborators continue to follow the law and regulations for paying all their workers a fair wage.
