Our Ethical Statement

Here at Bellisa X, we are dedicated to ethical practices and conscious decision-making in every aspect of our business. While we acknowledge that we are not yet sustainably approved, we are actively taking steps towards a greener future. Our commitment to ethics and our ongoing efforts to improve are reflected in the following key points: 

Craftmanship & Empowerment

  • Every garment is meticulously handcrafted by one of our skilled, self-employed seamstresses in our Bristol studio. 
  • We prioritize fair working conditions and provide our seamstresses the freedom to pursue their passions alongside their craft. 
  • Follow the journey of your creation on Instagram and discover the artist behind your clothing. 
  • Each delivery includes a note detailing the creator of your piece, adding a personal touch to your experience. 

Fabric Transparency & Conscious Choices

  • Our "Fabric Finder" allows you to make informed decisions by providing comprehensive information about each fabric's composition and origin. 
  • We value transparency, ensuring you have the knowledge to choose fabrics that align with your values. 

Resourceful Fabric Management

  • We repurpose fabric waste to create patchwork clothing, reducing our environmental impact and minimising fashion waste. 
  • Even the smallest fabric offcuts are used creatively, contributing to event decor through our partnership with 'Frequencies Events.’ 

Carbon Emission Offsetting

  • Collaborating with 'Carbon Click,' we offer you the opportunity to offset your carbon emissions with each purchase. 
  • Your contributions fund projects worldwide that focus on forest restoration, tree planting, and renewable energy. 

Biodegradable Packaging

We use bio-degradable packaging to reduce our footprint and move towards a more sustainable future.

Circular Fashion and Secondhand Empowerment

  • We encourage you to resell your clothing when it's no longer serving you, fostering a circular fashion ecosystem. 
  • Share your ‘for sale’ listings with us, and we'll promote your pre-loved Bellisa X through our platforms. 

Customisation and Slow Fashion

  • Our "Design Your Own" approach ensures each garment is made to fit your body, style, and measurements. 
  • This personalised experience promotes longevity, countering fast fashion trends and reducing clothing waste. 
  • Quality craftsmanship and free alterations ensure your pieces can be worn for years come. 

Sustainable Practices and Community Engagement

  • We value your input and maintain a strong customer relationship with regular feedback sessions on Instagram. 
  • Our workshops give our members the skills and know-how to create their own clothing, promoting transparency and a broader understanding of the process. 

Inclusivity and Diversity

  • While we strive for improvement, our brand is committed to representing all genders, body types, and ages in all aspects of our business. 
  • We embrace diversity and inclusivity as a core principle for our brand's future.
