Commitment to Sustainability

A NOTE FROM LAURA

My inspiration in all things is my daughter, Lavender.  I want the best for her, and for all our children – and for the Lavender Lobster, that means being proud part of the move towards slow fashion. We focus on creating perfect pieces rather than endless collections, and these singular garments are meant to be enjoyed for a lifetime, and passed down as treasured favorites.  

We use only natural fibers wherever possible, and work with skilled craftspeople in prioritizing traceable, small-scale production.  Here are the facts about how we prioritize our planet, our communities, and our future in our work:

The Lobster Bisque Dress

Each dress is handmade in Portugal of 100% natural fibers, in a small, privately-owned production facility that values sustainability, craftsmanship, and fair practice.


Slow Fashion, Not Fast Fashion

 Our manufacturers reject disposable production cycles. Instead, they focus on timeless, durable clothing crafted with care.

Responsible Production

 Every stage of production—from sourcing fabrics to final finishing—is carried out with strict environmental and social responsibility standards.

Certified Standards

 Fabrics and processes are aligned with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) benchmarks, ensuring they are free from harmful chemicals and produced under fair conditions.

Heritage Craftsmanship

 With decades of experience, these family-run mills uphold artisanal techniques while investing in modern, sustainable technologies.

Fair Working Conditions

 Workers are employed under safe, regulated, and fairly compensated conditions, in line with European labour protections.
