P&C Global Practices: Corporate Performance, Digital Transformation, Strategy & Innovation
Luxury Fashion’s Commitment to Ethical Craftsmanship
A global luxury fashion brand sought to integrate sustainability into its high-end collections, creating an impact beyond aesthetics. While historically known for Parisian sophistication and timeless craftsmanship, the brand recognized the need to deepen its commitment to ethical sourcing, female empowerment, and community-driven design.
P&C Global partnered with the brand to develop a sustainability-driven collaboration, bringing together heritage luxury, artisan craftsmanship, and digital engagement. The result was a livestream event highlighting the brand’s ethical supply chain and showcasing handcrafted designs created through a transformative partnership with female artisans in Kenya.
A key highlight of this initiative was the launch of a limited-edition handbag collection, co-designed with Mifuko, a Fairtrade-certified company that connects Finnish design with Kenyan artisanal weaving. The collection exemplified the power of ethical luxury—where sustainability, craftsmanship, and social impact converge.
Challenge: Infusing Sustainability into Luxury Design
Luxury brands face increasing pressure to adopt sustainable and ethical practices without compromising exclusivity, craftsmanship, or desirability. The brand aimed to:
- Incorporate ethical sourcing while maintaining high-quality craftsmanship.
- Create a transparent supply chain that supports artisans and provides fair wages.
- Engage conscious consumers through meaningful storytelling and high-touch digital experiences.
P&C Global collaborated with the brand to develop a sustainability-first retail strategy, seamlessly integrating artisan craftsmanship, ethical production, and digital engagement, while ensuring the collection remained aspirational and aligned with the brand’s Parisian heritage.
