What is Fashion Revolution week?
Fashion Revolution is a global movement that advocates for a more sustainable, ethical, and transparent fashion industry. It was founded in the wake of the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh in 2013, which claimed the lives of over 1,100 garment workers. Fashion Revolution seeks to raise awareness about the social and environmental impacts of the fashion industry and to promote positive change through advocacy, education, and collaboration.
The movement is best known for its annual Fashion Revolution Week campaign, which takes place in April around the anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster. During this week, consumers are encouraged to ask, "Who made my clothes?" and to demand greater transparency and accountability from fashion brands. The campaign includes a variety of events, workshops, and social media campaigns aimed at raising awareness about the issues facing the fashion industry and promoting sustainable and ethical alternatives.

We at ERIBÉ emphasize sustainability and reducing waste in our slow fashion processes. We knit most of our garments to order for our customers, taking care not to overproduce, and using only the necessary amount of natural materials required for each carefully fashioned sweater. This approach enables us to minimize our impact on the environment and reduce textile waste.
Our focus on slow fashion is reflected in the careful and intentional approach we take toward our production processes. Sustainability and ethical practices are at the forefront of everything we do, and we strive to minimize our impact on the environment, by using natural materials such as wool and avoiding synthetic fibres that are harmful to the planet. We are experts in our field and want to educate the wonder of wool. Our garments are designed to be time-honoured, versatile, and durable so that you can wear them for years to come.
Taking pride in finding creative ways to repurpose our leftover materials, we collaborate with @saxbydogclothing to make adorable Fairisle dog coats from garment panels that we cannot use. This ensures that even our waste materials are put to effective use.
With longevity in mind, we design our knitwear to be a timeless addition to your wardrobe that you can cherish for years to come. We create products to be worn, loved, and lived in, making a strong stance against the ‘throw-away fashion’ we see so often in our industry.
It is important for us to build personal relationships with our customers, stockists, and agents. We want you to feel valued and cherished when wearing our woollen ERIBÉ knits. Our goal is to spread joy through our creations, and we hope you feel that positivity when you wear them.
As part of our commitment to fair labour practices, we pay our employees a real living wage. We believe that our workplace should feel like a second home, where everyone feels welcome and supported. We foster a culture of creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity, where like-minded individuals can work towards the same goal of creating beautiful, sustainable knitwear.
