BEHIND THE BRAND
Come behind the scenes of Sans Beast to discover how our collections are crafted.
Our process is slow + deeply considered. We value the connection we have with our team, our makers, our community, collaborators + charity partners.
DESIGN
We sketch + design everything in our Brunswick studio, and build our ranges with love for our craft + respect for the making process.
We produce most of our bags with a brilliant partner + team at Xiongxin Handbags in Dongguan, southern China
Our Maker's View films provide some insight into our design process + how closely linked it has always been to our relationships with our makers.
SAMPLING + PRODUCTION
Materials, hardware, topstitch, edgepaint, lining, pockets + all the construction in between is discussed + worked through by our small team at Sans Beast HQ and the factory.
In order to get the styles right, we do at least two rounds of sampling, plus a full coloured range of samples for photography + press, and this process can take up to 6 months.
We mean it when we say we value slower fashion.
SLOW IS BEAUTIFUL
We create just two collections a year.
Ensuring we don't create an entirely new collection + throw away the current range is key to our slow design ethos. We invest a lot of time into designing + developing our styles - and our partner factories also invest in cutting moulds + sampling.
It's respectful of this investment to keep the styles going in our range for as long as possible.
SIGNATURES
This is where our Signature range comes in. We keep over half of our range as an evergreen foundational offering, season in, season out - and it doesn't go on sale.
SIGNATURE STYLES
RESPONSIBILITY
We've signed the Fashion Revolution Manifesto as our commitment to transparency, accountability + ethical practices.
We work only with Sedex-audited makers to ensure social compliance is in place, fair + living wages are upheld, insurance is covered where appropriate, environments are safe + the right to negotiate with management is an embedded facet in the workplace.
PACKAGING
Having taken care to choose thoughtful design, responsible fabrics + a slower cycle overall, we wouldn’t package our products in just anything when sending to customers.
We continue with our considered approach, choosing local businesses + recycled materials for all our packaging.
GIVING BACK
Every purchase you make with Sans Beast supports our Giving program, providing funds for organisations including Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary + the Bob Brown Foundation.
We will continue to find ways to give back to the community + raise awareness of the plight of exploited animals, ocean + land.
