Sustainability Commitment

Luxury and sustainability go hand in hand at Kristina Poliakova. We are passionate about creating beautiful dresses while also caring for our planet and its people. Our Sustainability Commitment is an integral part of our brand ethos – it influences how we design, what materials we choose, and how we operate every day. Here’s how we infuse sustainability into everything we do:

  • Responsible Materials: We prioritize eco-friendly fabrics and trims. Many of our pieces are made with natural fibers like organic cotton, linen, and silk sourced from responsible producers. Whenever possible, we incorporate recycled materials – for instance, recycled polyester linings or buttons made from reclaimed wood or shell. We are continually researching new sustainable textiles that meet our high standards of quality and feel.
  • Ethical Craftsmanship: Our dresses are produced in limited quantities by skilled artisans who are paid fair wages and work in good conditions. By choosing quality over quantity, we reduce excess inventory and waste. We also work with family-run workshops that share our values, ensuring that every person involved in making your dress is treated with respect and care. In this way, each garment carries a positive story for both the maker and the wearer.
  • Eco-Conscious Packaging: We’ve said goodbye to unnecessary plastics. Your order arrives in a beautiful, recyclable box and tissue paper. Even our mailing envelopes and packing tape are made from recycled or biodegradable materials. The presentation is luxurious, but the waste is minimal. We encourage you to repurpose our sturdy boxes for storage or gifting, extending their life cycle beyond delivery.
  • Timeless Design Philosophy: One of the most sustainable things in fashion is to create pieces that last and are loved for a long time. We design our dresses with a timeless sensibility – they aren’t meant to be worn once and forgotten. The quality of our fabrics and construction means you can enjoy your Kristina Poliakova dress season after season. We avoid ultra-trendy details that go out of style immediately, focusing instead on versatile designs that you can style in multiple ways. This approach encourages mindful purchasing and a more sustainable wardrobe.
  • Community & Giving Back: We believe in the power of community and giving back to causes that align with our values. A portion of our proceeds is set aside for charitable donations each year, supporting organizations focused on women’s empowerment and environmental conservation. When you support us, you’re also contributing to these initiatives. Additionally, we periodically host dress donation campaigns – encouraging customers to send us their gently worn Kristina Poliakova dresses which we then donate to local nonprofits that help women in need of professional or occasion attire. Together, we can create a positive impact.
  • Continuous Improvement: Sustainability is a journey, and we are always looking for ways to do better. We stay updated on new technologies and methods to reduce our carbon footprint – from exploring eco-friendly dyes that use less water, to investigating renewable energy for our offices and supply chain. We promise to remain transparent with you about our practices and progress. On our website and social media, we share insights into our production process and introduce you to the people and places behind each dress. We invite you to follow along and hold us accountable.

We are excited to have you with us on this journey toward a more sustainable and conscientious form of luxury.
