Déhanche | Impact

This International Women’s Month, Déhanche reaffirms its commitment to women’s autonomy, turning two of its bestselling pieces, the Hollyhock Black Silver and Hollyhock Terre Gold belts, into a vehicle for meaningful impact.

Founded by women and built in service of women, Déhanche has always celebrated strength, self-expression, and independence. The brand emphasizes that reproductive freedom is central to a woman’s ability to define her life, her career, and her creative voice.

In support of these values, Déhanche will donate 100% of profits from the two Hollyhock styles to the Center for Reproductive Rights, a leading global legal advocacy organization safeguarding access to contraception, safe abortion, and maternal healthcare.

For women to lead, create, and innovate, they must first have the power to make decisions about their own lives. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to that principle.

With this gesture, Déhanche positions itself not just as a purveyor of luxury, but as a brand with purpose, one that champions autonomy, creativity, and empowerment at every level of its work.

Déhanche partners exclusively with suppliers certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), ensuring that our materials meet the highest environmental standards. All of our leather suppliers receive certification from the Leather Working Group (LWG) by meeting stringent criteria in environmental performance and sustainable practices throughout their leather production processes. This includes factors such as energy usage, water consumption, chemical management, and waste disposal. Selecting suppliers with LWG certification demonstrates a dedication to ethical and environmentally conscious practices within the leather industry. This assures consumers and stakeholders that the brand actively works to minimize its environmental footprint and upholds stringent sustainability standards.

Through a collaboration with Swedish green pioneer, Doconomy, the carbon emissions of all Déhanche belts have been meticulously calculated, to understand the precise emissions factors for each part of the belt, material, packaging, transportation and includes the lifetime methane emissions of the animal to determine the carbon footprint. With each belt purchased, the entire carbon emission is offset via investments in decarbonization micro projects with Milkywire. Projects selected for the fund are evaluated against a detailed framework consisting of three pillars: carbon removal, restoring and protecting nature, and decarbonization.
