Throughout all 4 tiers of the supply chain production of a Dior sweater vest, our producers are proudly based in Italy. Our 100% cotton vest will be made up of fiber from Contonificio Albini. It will then be both spun and woven (and finished into fabric) at Albini Group. Doing both of these steps at one factor lowers our company's carbon footprint while also making our production efficient with the best quality. Our fabrics are then moved to another part of Italy where our vests are produced and manufactured. Our sweater vests are then moved to our stores and warehouses where customers may shop online or in-store.

The production process of this multi-chain necklace is very complicated, and the metal manufacturing part of the necklace is produced by Carrera Casting in New York. The gemstone is a new generation of gemstones created by Christian Dior in collaboration with Swarovski; their collaboration resulted in Crystal AB, named after the shimmering northern lights. The gemstone manufacturer is located in Austria, in Wattens. Finally, all the materials needed to make the necklace are handed over to Dior jewelry designer Victoire de Castellane, who is responsible for transforming the raw materials into the final product, which is then sold to the customer.

This jacket will be fully produced in Italy to reduce its carbon footprint. I chose each of these suppliers because of its location, convenience, and reputation. Albini Group produces many of our cotton products which keeps us local and they will take our product from fiber to fabric all in one place. Blue Line Group has a great reputation for denim garment production and they’re also conveniently located in Italy, so they were a perfect fit for our denim production needs.

For this high-neck cargo jacket, our suppliers are based in Italy and France. Choosing suppliers in close proximity to our business helps minimize transportation emissions and support local economies. Both Italy and France have made significant efforts to promote sustainable practices and reduce greenhouse gases. This jacket is made of 100% cotton and the Albini Group produces most of our cotton goods to keep everything in one region. Having our garment produced by Haute Marne Classage which is based in France offers several advantages, including affordability and environmental benefits. France is known for its strong textile industry, which combines quality craftsmanship with sustainable practices.
