TRANSPARENCY IN PRODUCTION AND SOURCING AT DELIKATESSEN

At Delikatessen, transparency comes natural. With nothing to hide, and a lot to be proud of, we are open about our sourcing and manufacturing. We take pride in our partnerships with Europe's premier manufacturers. Many of our partnerships span almost 30 years.

These historical manufacturers have overcome decades of challenges, particularly within the Italian fabric industry, where approximately 80% of businesses had to close down. Only the most progressive, creative and resilient survived, and we are happy and proud to continue with them.

The same regards our garment producers in Poland. Despite rising costs in Europe, we continue working locally with the same people. Learn about our approach to sourcing, our partnerships with Europe’s leading suppliers, and our dedication to ethical and sustainable practices.

CREATING A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS

Right since our start in 2009, ethics and sustainability remain at the forefront of all stages of production at Delikatessen. As our need for fabrics remains small, we apply our expertise for high quality in small quantities. Produced in short series, we avoid any overproduction of our garments. We fill a real need by providing our garments solely by order to boutiques (our stockists) and directly to our online customers.

PROUD PARTNERSHIPS

We are proud to work with some of the most esteemed suppliers in the industry, all based in Europe. Our commitment to European suppliers underscores our trust in their quality and ethical practices. These partnerships guarantee the highest quality fabrics and buttons for our garments and exemplify our dedication to supporting ethical and sustainable practices throughout our supply chain.

responsible sourcing

Our enduring quality garments guarantee a long-term use and minimize their imprint on the environment. This ensures there is hardly any surplus. We ensure the highest quality while aiming at remaining sustainable throughout the supply chain. Our fabrics come exclusively from the EU and Japan.

FAIR MANUFACTURING PRACTICES

We partner exclusively with European manufacturers who share our commitment to fair labor practices and environmental sustainability.

Production facilities of our partners adhere to strict guidelines regarding worker safety, fair wages, and environmental responsibility.

FULL DISCLOSURE

We provide detailed information on our website about our suppliers, manufacturing processes, and any certifications we've obtained. We want our customers to feel confident in their decision to support Delikatessen, knowing that we operate with integrity and accountability.
