Sustainability
From the very beginning, it was clear that sustainability would be at the heart of La Botanique.
The vision was simple but powerful: a fully vegan brand, focused on natural materials. Fair to the planet, fair to animals, and fair to humanity.
Nurture Nature
Vegan Friendly
La Botanique is proudly 100% vegan. We do not use any animal-derived materials, nor do we have any intention of doing so in the future.
Our commitment is rooted in a deep care for animal welfare and a firm stance against supporting the meat and animal by-product industries in any form.
Natural Materials
At La Botanique, we strive to minimize the use of synthetic materials in our garments.
When synthetics are used, it is always a carefully considered choice. Our continuous goal is to seek out and adopt natural, plant-based alternatives wherever possible.
Durability
At La Botanique, we are committed to creating products that are durable—both in style and in quality. We design timeless pieces intended to be worn and cherished for many years.
We are proudly not a fast fashion brand. We do not follow seasonal collections, allowing us to focus on thoughtful design and the highest possible quality.
We encourage you to extend the life of your La Botanique garments by repairing, reselling, or repurposing them whenever possible.
Production
At La Botanique, we aim to produce as much as possible within Europe. While we acknowledge that high-quality, sustainable production is achievable in the Far East, we choose to keep our manufacturing closer to home.
This approach allows us to regularly visit our production partners with minimal environmental impact, ensuring ethical working conditions and fair wages. Additionally, European production significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting goods from factory to warehouse.
No free shipping and no discounts
At La Botanique, we believe that true sustainability sometimes requires making conscious, and occasionally less convenient, choices.
We do not offer free shipping. Shipping has a real environmental cost: it requires resources, energy, and contributes to pollution. By charging for shipping, we aim to encourage mindful purchasing and awareness of your ecological footprint. We only offer green shipping options to further minimize impact.
Additionally, we do not offer discounts on our website and we discourage our retail partners from placing our products on sale. Our pricing is carefully considered: we charge what is fair, never more. Quality, sustainability, and ethical European production all come at a cost. We believe in valuing craftsmanship over consumption and in discouraging impulsive purchases.
Packaging
All of our packaging is made from recycled materials. We encourage you to continue the cycle by disposing of it in the appropriate recycling bins.
Wherever possible, we avoid using glue in our cardboard packaging—only the adhesive strip contains glue to ensure functionality with minimal impact.
Our hangtags and thank-you cards are made from seed paper. Simply plant them and enjoy a beautiful surprise in the spring.
Charity
Unlike many commercial brands, La Botanique is not afraid to take a stand on political and moral issues. In fact, we believe it is essential. For us, making bold statements and supporting meaningful causes is a core part of artistic expression.
We care deeply about all living beings. As part of our commitment, we include at least one charity piece in every new collection.
As La Botanique grows, so will our impact. Our goal is to eventually donate 100% of the profits from these charity items to causes that align with our values.
