SUSTAINABILITY
At Bobbie, our dedication to sustainability drives us to continually minimize our ecological footprint on our world. Here's where we stand as of the beginning of 2024.
Our goal is to make you happy with vintage designer items. We are aware that the consumer goods market is not the most sustainable of all, but we motivate shopping in a responsible and truly do our best to be as sustainable as possible as a young company.
Though we know we always have room for improvement, we believe in transparency throughout our journey. Rather than solely sharing big milestones, we value sharing our progress along the way. And so, here we are, proudly taking those steps forward.
PRODUCTS
Our items are sustainable for multiple reasons. Firstly, they promote the concept of circular fashion by extending the life of all our items, reducing the need for new production. Secondly, vintage items often have higher quality craftsmanship and materials. Additionally, purchasing vintage items reduces waste and overproduction - and therefore reduce the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new goods. With every Bobbie order, you'll receive a dustbag to protect your item so it lasts a lifetime. For these dustbags - we provide the highest quality, so those will also last a lifetime.
packaging & SHIPPING
We also prioritize sustainability in our packaging choices. We use undyed shipping boxes, completely avoiding plastic, and utilize paper as our primary filling material. Additionally, we incorporate recycled paper to wrap our items and recycled stickers, ensuring that every aspect of our packaging aligns with our commitment to minimizing environmental impact. By embracing these eco-friendly alternatives, we strive to not only protect the items we ship but also contribute to a healthier planet for future generations. Lastly, we don't offer free shipping and free returns - in order that customers think twice before making an impulsive decision and returning the item straight away. To strenghten well-considered purchases, we don't work with afterpay methods.
PARTNERS
We only partner with suppliers who have excellent labor standards, ensuring fair and safe working conditions for all employees. Moreover, we prioritize collaboration with small-scale and locally entrepreneurs, supporting local communities and fostering sustainable economic growth. From crafting our packaging materials to producing our dustbags, not only to maintain the highest quality standards but also to contribute positively to the whole supply chain. By working together with small businesses, we aim to create a more equitable and responsible fashion industry.
female founded
At Bobbie, we're a female-founded and self-funded company, a combination which we are very proud of, as only 17% of startups are founded by women. In doing so, we try to contribute to a positive shift in the gap between men and women in the professional field.
Our primary goal is to boost confidence and positivity for our customers. We prioritize inclusivity and uplifting brand content, ensuring that everyone can see themselves reflected on our website, social media channels and in our messaging. It's important to us that everyone feels represented and valued.
