In the glamorous fashion industry, where trends change as often as the seasons, an overlooked reality lurks beneath the surface – its significant environmental. However, amidst growing concerns, a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative is emerging in the form of upcycling textiles, challenging the conventional norms of recycling, and introducing innovative alternatives. One such trailblazer in the sustainable fashion landscape is Nona Source, championing the cause by offering deadstock fabrics as a conscious alternative.

The luxury industry undeniably holds immense power but  this influence comes at a cost, as the industry stands as one of the top contributors to environmental pollution. Its effects on water, soil, and ecosystems, coupled with its significant greenhouse gas emissions, emphasize the urgent need for change. Thankfully, the luxury industry is now steering towards a more sustainable and eco-conscious approach. Join us as we explore the luxury industry's shift toward a circular economy and sustainable practices in the anticipated trends for 2024.

The luxury Maisons of the LVMH group carry excess fabrics and leathers due to various reasons, such as minor defects invisible to the naked eye, minimum order quantity, or even because a new designer Creative Director has been named. These luxurious materials deserve to be upcycled. Therefore, Nona Source has developed an online platform to sell unused high-end fabrics and leathers.

Over the past few years, many fashion companies have shown in creative and ingenious ways that all principles of circular economy can be applied to their designs. Nona Source plays a role in repurposing and adding value to materials by putting LVMH’s deadstock fabrics and leathers back on the market using a circular approach.
