Philosophy
80% of our clothes already have sustainable properties
We are working hard to increase this figure on a daily basis
We work with serious people
When choosing our suppliers, price is not the main criterion. We take into account the quality, the know-how, the reliability but above all the working environment and the humane aspect of each of them.
B Corp
Now this, this is what we call class.
Orta is the first Belgian ready-to-wear brand certified by B Corp.
What's that?
B Corp certification measures the overall impact of a company through criteria such as ethics, environmental management, employee well-being, and many other aspects. In short, B Corp is the most comprehensive internationally recognized label that attests we meet high social and environmental standards.
This certification is also somewhat the culmination of all our daily efforts since 2017 to offer you responsible fashion. What's cool is that we can always do better, and we are excited to continue this adventure with you.
Our certifications
Certified organic
fabrics
You see it everywhere, but what is it really? Well, at least 70% of the fibres in this design come from organic farming. The fabric is certified because it meets strict ecological and environmental criteria. In addition, this label guarantees the respect of fundamental social criteria during the manufacturing of the fabric (from our colleagues to our seamstresses, not to mention the intermediaries who accompany us, we want everyone to be treated like a king!)
OEKO-TEX certified
fabrics
The Oeko-Tex certification is the basis of all the certifications that a brand must have. In concrete terms, it guarantees that our fabrics are free of substances that are harmful to health and the environment.
Cardato Recycled certified
fabrics and yarns
The Cardato Recycled certification concerns the fabrics and yarns that are used to make certain designs. Specifically, if you see the words Cardato Recycled, it means that the yarns and fabrics are made in Prato, Italy, with at least 65% recycled fibres.
BCI certified
cotton productions
This is the Better Cotton Initiative certification, which aims to improve the living conditions and economic development of the regions that produce cotton and to reduce the impact of this production on the environment. And that is something that appeals to us.
GRS certified
recycled fibres
GRS is a voluntary international standard that sets out criteria for third-party certification of recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices and restrictions on chemical composition. Nice, isn't it?
Lenzing / Ecovero
The name sounds very complicated, but don't worry, we'll simplify it! Basically, it's about viscose. In this case, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose fibres are derived from sustainable wood and pulp from certified and controlled sources. They have been certified by the European Ecolabel as meeting high environmental standards throughout their life cycle: from raw material extraction to production, distribution and disposal. Basically, it's the perfect viscose (no exaggeration).
100% European viscose
An insane project, a European project led by Gauthier (our co-founder) to create a 100% European viscose. This certification ensures the traceability of your piece and the production in the greatest respect of nature.
European Flax™ certified fabrics
This is THE certification for linen! It ensures that the linen fiber is grown and processed in Western Europe (France, Belgium, Netherlands) and that its production remains as environmentally friendly as possible: no irrigation, no GMOs, zero waste, natural retting, and mechanical scutching. What else could one wish for?
Our sustainability objectives
for the next 5 years
We make clothes,
with an eco-friendly mindset
Creating sustainable clothes has been one of our founders' main objectives since day one. It is with this in mind that Gauthier (co-founder & Marion's husband) has succeeded in producing 100% European viscose! It is evident that this success has given us the urge to go even further, and we don't intend to stop there.
No nonsense here,
just transparent fashion
(yes, it exists)
Come, we'll take you for a ride
