Meet the Founder
The collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh in 2013 was a turning point for Delphine. A passionate fashion enthusiast thanks to her grandparents, she was particularly affected by this tragedy, a symbol of the abuses of fast fashion.
It was after a personal accident in 2017 and a long period of immobility that she had the opportunity to further deepen her awareness.
Delphine decided to make fashion her profession and launched Avani Apparel in 2019, an eco-responsible and sustainable ready-to-wear brand.
About the Brand
The Swiss brand Avani Apparel offers ethical women's clothing, sustainable and timeless. Wardrobe essentials made from natural, innovative materials and crafted with respect for the people who make them.
Eco-responsible Impact
Its goal: to minimize its environmental footprint across the entire production chain and introduce individuals to responsible fashion.
How? By sourcing innovative and natural materials such as Tencel, linen, recycled wool, or hemp. All materials are local. The suppliers chosen by Avani Apparel optimize all the resources needed for production (recycling, waste minimization, alternative energy sources...).
All Avani Apparel products are made by artisans with excellent expertise and absolute transparency. The garment workshop, located in France, is 200 km from the showroom in order to minimize the brand's carbon footprint as much as possible.
Detailed Values
The brand does not use plastic in its products (no plastic zippers or buttons...) or in its packaging.
All products are made in France.
The fabrics, buttons, and threads come from Portugal, Spain, France, and Denmark. The factories are regularly audited and certified.
Garment workshop 200 km from the showroom (small workshop with 2 seamstresses).
Promoting French expertise.
Produced in small quantities, each style is limited to no more than 50/60 pieces.
Avani Apparel buys responsibly and exclusively in Europe from a limited number of European suppliers.
All materials are OEKO-TEX 100 certified, except for linen, which is GOTS certified.
