Jacquemus is a French fashion label founded in 2009 in Paris, France, by Simon Porte-Jacquemus. The clothing-retail company creates womenswear, menswear, accessories, jewelry, and shoes.

Jacquemus is creating more sustainable garments from recycled and more responsibly sourced materials. It focuses on timelessness and reduces collections and cycles, showing just summer and winter.

Jacquemus focuses on minimalist, simplistic pieces that stand the test of time and help the environment with natural fabrics. Its recent shows highlight a new desire to incorporate more sustainability into its collections.

Sustainability Practices

Jacquemus only uses a small proportion of organic materials such as organic cotton and hemp or recycled materials such as recycled polyester.

Jacquemus dedicates very few of its collections to sustainable fashion. Most of the fabrics it uses are either natural without relevant certifications, such as conventional cotton or linen, or synthetic petroleum-based fibers such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, and more.

Jacquemus also uses a small amount of semi-synthetic fibers or regenerated cellulosic fabrics such as lyocell, acetate, and viscose. But only a tiny proportion of the materials used by Jacquemus are environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Jacquemus doesn't publish a list of its manufacturers and suppliers. It doesn't show any labor certification standard that ensures good working conditions.

Jacquemus doesn't have a Code of Conduct that applies to its suppliers and subcontractors to understand the risks facing workers and make positive changes throughout its supply chain.

Jacquemus doesn't state if it organizes any audits in its factories to ensure health and safety, social and environmental compliance, decent living wages, and other human rights for workers in its supply chain.

Jacquemus doesn't use exotic animal skin, hair, fur, or angora. But it uses leather, wool, and silk to manufacture many of its clothing pieces.

These animal-derived materials are cruel and unethical. They also harm the environment by producing greenhouse gases and wastes. More sustainable alternatives exist.

Sustainability Goals

Jacquemus doesn't measure its greenhouse gas emissions, water, land, energy use, pollution, and waste across the supply chain. It doesn't have any clear sustainability goals, science-based targets, or timelines to improve in the future.
