ETHICS AND SUSTAINABILITY

Longevity has always been central to the Jenny Packham design house's philosophy. Each collection is designed with enduring appeal, exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. Created to be showcased, treasured and revisited for life's most significant occasions, Jenny Packham designs offer a lasting alternative to disposable fashion through timeless design and uncompromising quality. 

 

As an independent British luxury design house with global appeal, Jenny Packham is committed to continually reviewing its practices to reduce its environmental impact while preserving the artistry and craftsmanship that define every collection. Sustainability is approached as a process of continuous improvement, with considered decisions across design, sourcing, production and distribution. 

 

Responsible sourcing and animal welfare are fundamental to this commitment. Jenny Packham has never used fur and remains permanently fur-free. The design house has never used exotic skins or skins from endangered species and has pledged since 2023 never to use feathers in designs, reflecting a considered approach to material selection and animal welfare.

 

To help reduce the environmental impact of distribution, Jenny Packham partners with providers with published sustainability and emissions reduction targets, supporting more considered operations across its supply chain. 

 

Jenny Packham is equally committed to the people behind her collections. Alongside providing employment to a UK based corporate team for almost 40 years, the design house works with long-standing manufacturing partners that uphold recognised environmental standards, labour standards and employment laws, supporting an environment where skilled artisans and craftspeople are treated with respect, fairness and dignity. 

 

Beyond her collections, Jenny Packham uses her platform to support cultural, humanitarian and environmental causes that align with the values of the design house. From championing women’s empowerment and supporting humanitarian initiatives to raising awareness of ocean conservation through her ambassadorship with Ocean Rising, Jenny Packham continues to use the reach and influence of fashion to inspire positive change.

 

While sustainability is an ongoing journey, the design house remains committed to creating designs with enduring relevance and lasting value. In a fashion landscape increasingly shaped by shorter lifecycles, Jenny Packham continues to champion thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship and creations that are made to become modern heirlooms: treasured today, valued tomorrow and designed to endure.
