A LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER
Women's rights and artistic expression - two fundamental freedoms that shape who we are - are being dismantled. Across the world, reproductive healthcare is being stripped away, and the ability to create, express and challenge convention is being censored. The forces seeking to control women's bodies are the same ones silencing the art, ideas, and voices that dare to defy.
This International Women's Month 100% of proceeds from The Hutch and The Jeanne styles will be donated to the
Center of Reproductive Rights, an organization dedicated to ensuring that reproductive freedoms are protected
through law. The CRR fights in courts worldwide to defend access to contraception, safe abortion, and maternal healthcare, holding governments accountable when they fail to protect these fundamental rights. Their work is urgent, their impact is undeniable, and we are proud to support them.
Fashion is more than what we wear.
It is identity. It is a protest. It is power. And now, more than ever, we must use it.

DOCONOMY
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.
