Henri-Lloyd aren't participating in traditional 'Black Friday' discounting that
encourages over consumption and increases the strain on our planet. Instead,
20% of all sales made online from Monday 22nd to Monday 29th November will
be donated to ocean clean-up efforts to help protect the future of our seas.
In fact, the brand encourages not to buy what you don't need and repair what you
have - but if you must buy, do so responsibly.
Striving towards a sustainable future, Henri-Lloyd are passionate about offering
exceptional, quality clothing that lasts. Most importantly, the majority of
products are made in European factories to decrease the carbon footprint as
well as ensuring higher quality working conditions for factory workers. What's
more, Henri-Lloyd no longer distribute through wholesale, cutting out the
middlemen allows them to focus costs on sustainability goals as well as being
able to offer customers the best possible prices everyday.
"For those of you who know our brand, you will know that the Oceans are central
to our very DNA. Our Oceans are under stress through man-made activities and
it is our mission to not only protect them but also to actively engage in projects
that will clean and repair the damage." - Dan Williams, Brand Director.
