Sustainable Future

At ASCENO, we know that designing and producing in a responsible and ethical way is of paramount importance to the health and safety of our planet and all those who inhabit it.

All of our products are ethically produced. We are proud of our sustainability in certain areas yet we know we have room for improvement in others. Producing a more sustainable way is one of our goals as a business. We commit to having an honest dialogue about our successes and challenges on this journey. We are not perfect, but we promise to work towards a better future every day.

We are excited and proud to introduce our new sustainable packaging. All of the elements are made from recycled and responsibly sourced materials which are sustainably certified and 100% recyclable. Importantly, we allowed the aesthetic to be driven by the sustainability of materials and were uncompromising in our choices.

If it came from the earth it can go back to the earth. With this in mind, about 90% of our production is made from 100% natural fibres. Our linens are organic and responsibly sourced making them more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Our silk is ethically and responsibly produced.

We have now introduced a sustainably certified and Oeko-tex approved material. We have introduced responsibly sourced viscose made from beech tree cellulose. From woods that have the biodiversity maintained, and promote social benefits for the local communities.

Design at ASCENO is about creating effortless clothes that feel great and look great. Considered details, timeless design, conscious materials, and quality are at the core of our design approach. Our silhouettes are classic and our colours are fresh.

We focus on creating items that can be easily mixed and matched. Everything can be worn in a variety of ways and settings. We strive to create collections that transcend seasons. We will always have seasonal prints and styles that add fresh elements to your wardrobe but everything is made to be a part of your closet for the long term.

We produce in family run factories in Portugal, Turkey and China. We only produce small productions runs to reduce excess and waste. We hold as little stock as possible. Whenever possible we repurpose unused fabric. In coming seasons, we will begin to redesign left over stock to incorporate it back into future deliveries.

Thoughtful details, made with care. Our signature hanging labels are made from 100% recycled, uncoated, sustainably certified cardboard, with our logo printed using water-based ink free from harmful chemicals. Each purchase also comes with a reusable 100% organic cotton pouch, perfect for packing your ASCENO pieces when travelling. Made in collaboration with a charity in India, each pouch supports local farms producing organically certified cotton.
