At Cecilie Bahnsen, our approach to responsibility is a personal one, shaped by genuine beliefs and dreams. Although the path to responsibility is imperfect, every action, big or small, makes a difference. While we acknowledge that the products we put out have an impact on the environment, we strive to reduce their effect. As our universe evolves, we want our knowledge and transparency to evolve with it, building a traceable value chain, knowing all the people and places we have touched. We are dedicated to working with craftspeople in Europe to preserve the beauty of century old traditions and techniques, bringing the intricate details of couture into the every-day. Creating clothes to cherish, to keep, to share, to lend, to pass on.
