DtheBrand, a style with conscience
DtheBrand makes garments in a responsible way “for human beings, for free people who like design, who aren’t too bothered about the traditional concept of men’s and women’s fashion,” the firm said. Sustainability is one of the cornerstones of the brand, which seeks to connect with socially committed customers through responsible consumption. They produce in Spanish factories, to achieve a top-quality product and also contribute to the conservation and creation of jobs in the Spanish textile sector, as explained by the firm. They produce Prêt-à-porter as if it were haute couture: their obsession is taking care of every detail. DtheBrand opts for sustainable fabrics, certified with Oeko-tex Standard 100 and GOTS quality seals, and each of the products has a low production run, so as to maintain exclusivity and minimise waste.
For Sabina Deus Muñoz, creative director of DtheBrand, “the DtheBrand style is like an extension of myself: minimalist, perfectionist and, above all, with a conscience”.
