OUR MISSION. OUR COMMITMENT
Our Commitment
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 work continuously to improve our techniquesand to find more sustainable fabrics and technologies."

Our Packaging
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.
Recycled Labels
Our signature hanging labels. Not only do they look good but they are made from 100% recycled and uncoated sustainably certified cardboard. The logo is devised with water-based ink that is free from harmful chemicals.
Reusable Bags
Each purchase now comes with a reusable 100% organic cotton pouch; the perfect way to pack your ASCENO pieces when travelling. Each bag is made in collaboration with a charity in India that invests in local farms to produce organic certified cotton.
Our Materials
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.
Everything we do is about functionalityand versatility.
For us, it's all about multiple uses and many years. People will always buy clothes but we want to make well considered pieces that mean you can buy well and buy less.
