Slow Fashion
A concept built on the philosophy that fashion should be slow yet colorful. We design and create standalone pieces and launch them as a single Affêre. We drop a single piece that comes in several colors and launch them as different Affêres with their own story, personality and production. The result is a concept without overproduction, no necessary sales, no standard buy-in cycles, while benefitting from a single sample cycle. This is better for the environment and leaves a smaller footprint.
Concept
We champion kindness and compassion. And welcome all types of bodies and minds. Affêre is a brand that has some very important work ethics that listen to the name of: appreciation, transparency, elegant, women-friendly, timeless, fun, limited, exclusive, genderless and colourful.
European Certificated Ateliers
Sustainability plays a big role. Our special and exclusive concept invites for a new way of doing fashion. We want all our fabric to be of traceable origin and only strive to use eco-friendly cardboard/paper for all purposes, from shoeboxes to hangtags. Besides that we solely use leather that has been awarded with the Gold Certificate from the Leather Working Group. We look for natural fabrics and transport goods and people in the most sustainable way. We have a long term vision that has to be shared and more importantly passed on.
