Sustainability
Our approach to sustainability
A longer view.
A piece begins with a design decision. Its life continues through wearing, keeping and care. At Maison de Sport, a longer view means considering both.
This ribbed cotton tank offers a closer starting point: the texture of the knit, the finish of the neckline, and a label that identifies its composition and place of manufacture. Specific information about each piece is where the conversation begins.
Material, construction, provenance
A closer reading.
Made in Portugal. 100% organic cotton. The printed label brings the material and place of manufacture into view. “Designed to last” expresses an intention carried forward through construction, repeated wear and appropriate care.
Purpose.
We consider silhouette, material and use together. The intention is to create pieces with a place in the wardrobe, beyond a single occasion.
A continuing conversation.
Design, construction and material choices are connected. Working with specialist partners gives the Maison a way to examine those decisions and ask better questions.
GOTS-certified cotton.
For selected pieces, we work with GOTS-certified organic cotton materials. The Global Organic Textile Standard addresses organic fibres and environmental and social requirements in textile processing. For the certification details of a particular material or piece, our team can provide guidance.
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.
Where specified, we select textiles certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, a standard for articles tested for harmful substances. The relevant certificate applies to the named textile or article, with a scope that can differ from one piece to another.
Provenance.
The Proper Moccasin is made in Guimarães, Portugal. For provenance and material information about another piece, consult its individual description or ask the Maison.
Responsible leather sourcing.
Our approach to leather sourcing considers provenance alongside quality, finish and intended use. We work with our partners towards responsible sourcing and seek greater visibility into the materials and processes behind each piece. Leather-specific information can be requested through Client Support.
Care & continuity
Beyond the first wear.
The life of a piece continues after it leaves the Maison. We encourage thoughtful care and repeated wear, with attention to the requirements of each fabric, leather and construction.
Follow the care instructions supplied with your piece. Before cleaning or repair, seek advice suited to its material. Our Client Support team is available for care enquiries and questions about the pieces you own.
