She was a tailor and model of confidence with an extraordinary sense of craftsmanship and style. Not only does her name carry the brand today, her sense of quality and ambition to create high quality and timeless fashion is still very much alive. Below, we have listed a timeline showing the history of House of Dagmar and our efforts on sustainability. 2005 With the establishment of House of Dagmar, we proclaimed three sustainability pillars; high quality in our fabrics, high quality in our production processes and high quality in our designs. We decided to create sustainable and contemporary designs that would last for many years. Half of our first collection was made from mercerized cotton, a durable and long-lasting material. Some still have and wear their cardigans from that first collection, showing the importance of good care and high-quality. grow softer and darker and acquire a patina depending on its use. A chrome-free leather product is biodegradable and recyclable. 2006 In January, Swedish ELLE awarded us with the “New designer of the year” prize. 2008 We launched a collection consisting of lace knitted dresses and tops made from organic cotton. 2010 We implemented the use of certified mulesing-free merino wool. 2011 We became the winners of Guldknappen, Scandinavia’s most prestigious design award. We also started to work with lyocell jersey, an environmentally friendly and bio-degradable fiber. 2012 We collaborated with Värmlands Alpacka, an organic alpaca farm in Sweden. 2013 We launched our first animal-friendly fur, made from real mohair wool sewn onto a cotton fabric piece (the same process as making a wig). By using real mohair wool, we assure warmth and longevity in the garment. 2014 We experimented using recycled PET-bottles in our raincoats and other jackets. 2015 Swedish ELLE awarded us with the “Designer of the year” prize. The same year, we started a sustainable Eco-cashmere production using less water and contributing to less waste in the manufacturing process. We start to work with Chrome free leather. The production of chrome-free leather uses a natural tanning method, where tannins from bark, leaves and branches are used. Being an entirely organic material, vegetable tanned leather will change over time, it will grow softer and darker and acquire a patina depending on its use. A chrome-free leather product is biodegradable and recyclable. 2016 From this year, all the cotton & denim clothes are in organic cotton from GOTS-certified (Global Organic Textile Standard). The GOTS certificate ensures controls are made to secure that the cotton is grown without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Water consumption is also less in order to keep a low impact on the environment. 2017 25% of our collections was sustainable and a GOOD CHOICE. We start to measure our footprint through the organization ECAP, The European Clothing Action Plan. 2018 Started to only use certified LENZING™ viscose. By measuring our footprint and analyzing the results, we have learnt that normal viscose is not a suitable fabric to use because of its harmful processing method, where too much chemicals and water is used. The chemicals and polluted water end up in the nature, which is harming the eco-system. We have therefore decided to only use an FSC-certified viscose. By choosing this, we reduce the environmental impact from this material. The cellulose used to generate the certified viscose comes from sustainably sourced wood, and the fiber is then spun in a special closed loop system, meaning that no harmful chemical is released. Continuing to measure our footprint through the organization ECAP, The European Clothing Action. During 2018, 35% of our collections were sustainable and a GOOD CHOICE. We also started to collaborate with Svensk Skog and Borås Textilhögskola with the ambition to find a new, natural viscose fiber. 2019 At the beginning of the year, 50% of our collections were sustainable and a GOOD CHOICE. By the end of the year 80% of our collections will be GOOD CHOICE-garments. We also started to work with RENEWCELL to explore the possibility of turning materials such as used cotton and viscose into new fibers, new yarn, new fabrics and later on new garment that can be produced and worn with a clear conscience. Our aim is to close the loop and show that recycling clothes finally works. 2020 90% of our collections will be sustainable and a GOOD CHOICE.
