What defines a luxury product? What kind of characteristics it has? No matter what boxes you would tick, one of the main aspects is outstanding quality. And for brands that create high-class clothing, accessories and shoes, it is important to make sure that all this great quality would be obtained as consciously as possible. As now, more than ever, buyers are aware of how the supply chain works and what impact does it have on our environment. Having this in mind, let's see what are these 5 luxury brands that are trying to serve us both, the glam and the eco.
