The Mountain Studio  & Sustainability 

Producing clothing that’s designed to withstand the toughest weather conditions will inevitably involve the use of materials and processes that cause some degree of harm to the environment.

This is why we’ve chosen to refrain from using the term sustainability, and to prioritise and communicate the concepts of environmental and social responsibility instead, and promote mindful consumption.
Because we believe in the concept of buying less, but better.

We’re committed to minimising our impact on the environment by carefully selecting our materials, production methods, and business practices, and by creating garments that you’ll be able to use and rely on to deliver the highest levels of performance for many years to come. This is at the heart of The Mountain Studio’s approach.

Buy less. But better.

We firmly believe in the power of conscious consumers, and we dedicate ourselves to designing and producing high-quality, timeless pieces that are built to last.

By creating durable clothing, we encourage our customers to buy less frequently and choose items that have multiple uses, which can be cherished and worn for many years.

Care and Repair

Even the most well-made garments will eventually start showing some kind of wear or are accidentally damaged. We are committed to the idea that clothing can be treasured and repaired, rather than discarded. We will provide resources and guides to help our customers care for their garments, extending their lifespan. Our repair services are easily accessible, allowing customers to mend and refurbish their clothing, reducing the need for replacements.

The best possible Fabrics and Materials

Production of clothing is normally not considered best in class when it comes to use of depletable resources or energy use. However, some materials are considered less harmful and less energy consuming than others. The term preferred materials is today often used for those fabrics and materials that are as sustainable, ethically sourced, and environmentally friendly as possible. Our selection process therefor not only considers the functional, durable and aestetic properties but also the environmental impact of materials, ensuring that they align with our commitment to sustainability. This includes utilizing organic, recycled, and upcycled materials whenever possible.

Sustainable Transports

We are dedicated to minimizing our carbon footprint in transportation. We will prioritize eco-friendly shipping options such as boat and rail transport and work towards optimizing our supply chain to reduce emissions.
