"Creating workwear out of activewear fabrics is a challenge, but doing it sustainably is a whole different ball game"
Irina Ashdown, Founder
"When we started Vault Urban, we were completely uninformed about the polluting impact of performance fabrics until we began researching and creating our supply chain.
In being the architect of a new company, we saw opportunity to do better, lead, innovate, educate and empower, to drive positive impact to the world."
LIZA & IRINA, FOUNDERS
Planet. People. Prosperity.
- We use the most sustainable alternatives across various textile groups, including non-ecotoxic synthetics, biodegradable fibers, semi-synthetic textiles made from certified sustainably managed forests, recycled and bio-based fibers.
- We responsibly source all trims and finishes, selecting the most sustainable options to minimize environmental impact.
We have set high social and environmental standards for our global suppliers. Our factories are SMETA audited and WRAP certified to ensure compliance with our policies and adherence to good industry standards.
