Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Mark James, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. From the very beginning, we have believed that fashion should not come at the cost of the planet. While we are not perfect, we are dedicated to making thoughtful, conscious decisions that minimise our environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Crafted On Demand

Our approach to production is built around one key principle: only produce what is needed. Every Mark James piece is made on demand, meaning we create each garment specifically when it is ordered. This process drastically reduces waste, avoids overproduction, and helps eliminate the environmental strain caused by surplus inventory.

Local Production for a Lower Carbon Footprint

Our print-on-demand model goes beyond reducing waste, it also helps lower our carbon footprint. Orders are produced in the facility closest to the customer’s location, which minimises the distance products need to travel. By avoiding long-haul shipments from overseas factories, we significantly reduce the environmental impact associated with transportation. This localised approach ensures a more eco-friendly delivery process while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Eco-Friendly Materials

Whenever possible, we prioritise the use of eco-friendly fabrics and materials. By selecting textiles that are responsibly sourced and less resource-intensive, we take meaningful steps toward creating garments that are kinder to the planet.

Ethical Production Practices

We partner with ethical production facilities that prioritise fair labor practices and safe working conditions. This ensures that every Mark James piece is not only sustainably crafted but also responsibly made, respecting the people behind each garment.

Reducing Waste Beyond Production

Sustainability doesn’t stop at production. Our Repurposed Collection is an initiative designed to give gently used items a second life. Eligible returns in excellent condition are resold at a discounted price, reducing waste and extending the lifecycle of each product. This program supports our vision of a circular fashion economy where every piece finds a home.

Steps Toward the Future

We know there’s always more to be done. As a growing business, we’re committed to continually evaluating and improving our sustainability practices. From exploring innovations in packaging to incorporating more sustainable materials, we’re taking proactive steps to do better every day. While we acknowledge we’re not there yet, our dedication to progress is unwavering.
