Lona Scott Values

At Lona Scott, our core values centre around offering the best products while reducing overconsumption. Our dedication to seasonless garments and accessories encourages timeless style and adaptability, promoting mindful wardrobe decisions that overall reduce wasteful consumption. We strongly believe that by investing in higher quality garments, customers not only indulge in luxury but also join us in the fight against fast fashion’s detrimental impacts.

Since our start over a few decades ago, sustainability has always guided us. Even before sustainability became widespread, we considered every step to minimise our footprint. This commitment has only grown stronger over time, becoming a core part of who we are. From designing timeless pieces for perfect time-capsule wardrobes, to sourcing the highest quality of cashmere for stronger and long-lasting materials, to constantly reducing packaging.
Today, sustainability still remains at the heart of our brand, defining our legacy of mindful luxury and we envision a future where sustainability and style coexist harmoniously, setting a new standard for conscious fashion consumption.

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 each element, while also reducing packaging to the minimum.

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.

Innovative Packaging

Each year, our team goes through new research to identify new opportunities for packaging reduction and more eco-friendly solutions. This year alone, we have successfully re-designed three of our most popular products, resulting in a remarkable 30% reduction in packaging and storage requirements. Our dedication to innovation extends beyond just product design. In 2023, we proudly earned the Climate Pledge Friendly badge for our innovative Laundry Detergent. The Innovative formula for our detergent allows for twice the washing loads to a regular supermarket detergent, while utilising a bottle that’s 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.

Lastly, here at Lona Scott, we prioritise equal opportunity for all employees and actively promote diversity within our team, acknowledging its pivotal role in fostering innovation and success.
