The future takes shape through us. It is not a far-off place, but something constantly coming to life now, arising out of our efforts and our plans, our choices, and our actions. With each step we take, we cross a new threshold of possibility. We will go where we set our sights, so we set them high, intentionally. We aspire to think, not just as designers and outdoor-lovers, but as problem-solvers, agents for change, future ancestors, kin. For the future we hope to inhabit.
We depend on skilled people to make our garments. It can require 67 different operators to per form the 190 steps that craft a single Alpha SV jacket. Across 10 countries, we rely on the skills of close to 7,000 people. They should be able to depend on us to advocate for and advance their labourand life conditions. We acknowledge there is a crisis of inequity in the apparel industryand we need to redistribute benefit amongst the wider we.
Circularity means designing waste and pollution out of systems to respect the limits of a finite planet. We are bending the arc of fashion’s take-make-waste economy by honouringthe materials we work with, building gear that lasts, and extending its life span beyond the adventures of any single user. Our commitment is to leverage longevity and eliminate waste, to serve the longer now.
