URBAN CLASSICS Nachhaltigkeit
Nachhaltigkeit spielt in der Welt der Mode schon lange Zeit eine große Rolle. Eine Vielzahl der Modehersteller arbeitet dran, den ökologischen Fußabdruck in der Fashion-Branche zu minimieren und eine Verbindung zwischen aktuellen Trends und dem Schutz der Umwelt zu ermöglichen. Auch wir von UBRAN CLASSICS arbeiten stetig daran, unseren Beitrag dazu auch zukünftig noch weiter auszubauen.
High-quality products for conscious buyers
The topic of "sustainability" is already at the forefront of a selection of our URBAN CLASSICS articles. When manufacturing our products, we always pay attention to high-quality materials in order to be able to offer our customers the best quality. We select our materials with the utmost care and make sure that our partners and manufacturers also follow our values. Fairness and transparency are particularly important to us. For this reason, we also attach great importance to ensuring that the working conditions at our production sites meet high standards. We are particularly proud of the durability of our materials, which have been selected according to strict specifications to meet our expectations so that they also meet the requirements of our URBAN CLASSICS customers.

Social standards in the URBAN CLASSICS value chain
Good conditions in our production are a central part of our brand philosophy. For this reason, we are part of the "amfori - Business Social Compliance Initiative", or "amfori BSCI" for short. amfori BSCI is one of the leading corporate initiatives to improve working conditions in global supply chains.
amfori BSCI - Code of Conduct
The amfori BSCI Code of Conduct is based on the conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations universal human rights declarations, the UN Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines. All amfori BSCI participants accept this Code of Conduct and commit to complying with it.
Through our partnerships, we commit to integrating our suppliers into the amfori BSCI process and continuously monitoring their progress. In return, the suppliers of BSCI participants commit to complying with the Code of Conduct, which is assessed through an audit.
Qualified auditors examine compliance with all requirements of the amfori BSCI Code of Conduct. This includes aspects such as:
- Working hours and fair wages
- Occupational health and safety
- Child labour and protection of younger workers
- Forced labour, unfree labour and precarious employment
- Discrimination
- Environmental protection
- ...
Environmentally conscious materials and their procurement
We already use environmentally friendly materials such as organic cotton or recycled polyester in some of our URBAN CLASSICS collections. These materials have certificates such as Organic Content Standard, Recycled Claim Standard, Global Recycled Standard or Global Organic Textile Standard. Our aim is to focus on the environment during production and to comply with certain ecological and social standards.
Using the materials shown helps us to actively contribute to the environment and at the same time create high-quality fashion. We source our materials responsibly to guarantee our customers the best possible quality.
Durability and quality of our URBAN CLASSICS fashion
The longevity of our URBAN CLASSICS fashion is an important part of our corporate strategy. We want you to enjoy your URBAN CLASSICS clothing for a long time. For this reason, we pay attention to the quality and durability when choosing the materials we use. Our fashion is designed to withstand daily demands without any problems and to still have the look and fit you expect even after many washes. For us, longevity also means that we use fewer resources, protect the environment and reduce textile waste.
This is how you can upcycle your URBAN CLASSICS fashion
An innovative approach to giving URBAN CLASSICS fashion a new lease of life without neglecting the environment is the topic of "upcycling". In contrast to recycling, where materials are dismantled and reused, upcycling is about creatively redesigning and upgrading existing items of clothing.
A popular example is transforming old jeans into trendy bags or backpacks. These new products are not only unique, but also a statement against the throwaway society.
We at URBAN CLASSICS have also recognized the potential of upcycling our fashion. It is important to us and our designers that it is possible to create stylish crop tops from old URBAN CLASSIC T-shirts or short shorts from long fabric trousers. There are no limits to your imagination.
You can create a modern vintage look with old fabric scraps or a casual used look by cutting holes and tears into your items. Accessories such as jewelry can also be upcycled in just a few steps.
Overall, upcycling fashion offers a variety of opportunities to be creative while making a positive contribution to environmental protection and giving URBAN CLASSICS fashion a second life.
URBAN CLASSICS and its values
We are proud that we can make it possible for our URBAN CLASSICS items to not only look fashionable, but also to respect the environment. We already use sustainable raw materials for a proportion of our items. Fair working conditions and compliance with a short supply chain are an integral part of our production process. Our future mission is to play an even greater role in offering our customers clothing that they can wear with joy and a clear conscience.
