Envelope1976, launched in 2018 in Oslo, Norway, is dedicated to transforming the fashion industry into a more eco-friendly space. With a strong focus on timeless and versatile design with materials that last.
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
We are always looking for suppliers, manufacturers and collaborators that share our vision in terms of sustainability, and are currently producing our garments with selected suppliers in Portugal, Italy, Turkey, China and India.
All our suppliers have signed our Code of Conduct, based on internationally acknowledged UN and ILO conventions. All suppliers have also answered our ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) questionnaire, a document created to ensure we have a value chain that promotes and supports the UN sustainable development goals and our company goals. The questionnaire is updated every two years to document progress, and help map out where further guidance and actions for improvement is needed.
Our Code of Conduct can be downloaded here.
Spring 2023, we have been working together with EY on a project on how to improve our sustainability strategy going forward.

DESIGN MADE TO LAST
Envelope1976 is all about creating timeless designs, to be worn in multiple ways. Our collections consist of seasonless and long lasting items, made in carefully selected materials. Designing for longevity, with use of more responsible materials, is our most important way of reducing our environmental footprint.
MATERIALS
We aim to use only natural fibers in our materials, prioritizing renewable sources that are biodegradable and durable. Our preference is for natural pigments in the dyeing process, steering clear of chemical additives. To learn more about our carefully selected materials, please explore the details provided here.
WRAPPING
We package our garments using recycled materials before shipping and promote recycling among our customers, encouraging them to responsibly dispose of the packaging materials after use.
ENGAGE IN GREEN BEHAVIOR
Envelope1976 was founded with the desire to create and promote a more sustainable concept, with a focus on minimizing the brand’s footprint and inspire for a more sustainable way of living. We will always keep looking for more sustainable options in sourcing, planning, production and shipping. We work to encourage and inspire end consumers to take their environmental footprint into consideration when purchasing clothing.
Our fascination for minimalism is key. For us, it is all about creating seasonless garments in durable materials that can be worn in various ways. There is ”no one way” to wear ENVELOPE1976, and building a timeless wardrobe is essential for our way of thinking sustainability.
