Commitment to a more sustainable and compassionate industry
As a brand inspired by the tradition and craftsmanship of historical peasant wear, we celebrate cultural heritage and artisanal techniques. Our designs reflect a harmonious blend of timeless elegance and modern sensibility. Each piece in our Oatmilk & Coal collection is a reflection of the designer's love for nature and dedication to sustainable fashion. When wearing a Guna Nebare garment, our customers become not just wearers, but also storytellers of our shared commitment to a more sustainable and compassionate fashion industry.

Embracing historical construction techniques
At Guna Nebare, we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our garments by avoiding the use of zippers, buttons, and elastic wherever possible. Instead, we employ strategic placements of ties and bows in our designs, allowing for adjustable fits that eliminate the need for traditional closures. By embracing historical construction techniques and carefully considering the placement of fastenings, we ensure that our pieces are not only comfortable and versatile but also more sustainable. This conscious approach to design not only eliminates non-biodegradable materials but also fosters a deeper connection between our customers and their garments, as they can actively participate in customizing the fit and style to suit their preferences. With every piece, we demonstrate that eco-conscious fashion can be aesthetically beautiful and functional while embracing a greener and more mindful approach to dressing.

Areas for improvement
At Guna Nebare, we believe that sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we are constantly striving to improve in various areas. One key focus is on achieving full transparency in our material sourcing. As a brand that values eco-conscious practices, we are committed to knowing the origins of our materials and ensuring that they meet our ethical and environmental standards. We are actively seeking ways to establish direct relationships with suppliers to gain better insights into their production processes and to support more sustainable practices. Additionally, we are working towards enhancing our circular economy efforts by expanding our use of antique materials sourced from vintage sellers and incorporating production waste from other companies into new creations. Our goal is to minimize waste and maximize the life cycle of our garments, ultimately reducing their impact on the environment. As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain dedicated to finding innovative solutions and pushing the boundaries of sustainable fashion, striving to create a positive impact on both the planet and our valued customers.
