BRAND VALUES

But do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you might have -
We promise you radical transparency.
SUSTAINABILITY
What is sustainability?
Apart from being a very worn out word, used to green wash big corporations?
Is it in the material?
Is it in the way we consume?
How a piece is assembled?
The way we use what we buy?
The way we feel an emotional connection to an object?
Is it making sure everybody in a work chain are treated eqaully?
Is it making sure work is not everything in life?
For Studio Minna Palmqvist, it is all of the above, and more.
Please read a few statements below,

PRODUCTION
Studio Minna Palmqvist works with small scale production, in-house in the Stockholm studio, and in Swedish factories.
Current factory partners:
XV Production, Borås
MATERIALS
We have a few different ways of choosing the materials we work with.
1. Deadstock fabrics, meaning already existing leftover fabrics produced for someone elses production.
2. Deadstock garments, meaning garments produced in the over production culture of fashion and clothing, but never sold. We re-work them and give them new life.
3. Newly produced fabrics, in high quality fibres, to last for a long time.
Current material sources:
Fabric House, Italy - Dead stock fabric supplier
Clothes Stocklots Scholten, The Netherlands - Dead stock garment supplier
QUANTITIES
We work with small quantities at a time, to avoid over production.
We work a lot with pre-orders and made-to-order, to make sure we do not produce more than we will sell.
