Sustainability
Every SMAAK | AMSTERDAM product is crafted with great care and attention. Thanks to the use of high-quality, sustainable materials, our products will last for years to come. We work on optimizing production processes for a sustainable and environmentally friendly living environment in all our collections. Our design studio works closely with select production partners to ensure they share the same values.
Many of our suppliers are small family businesses, supporting heritage production techniques largely abandoned by modern mass production. These factories are often the pillars of their local communities, and production with them supports local economies around the world.
All our factories have been independently audited for compliance with social standards and have agreed to our SMAAK terms and conditions, including compliance with local labor laws. Our suppliers are like family to us, and we visit them regularly when co-creating products to ensure the highest quality and to ensure our relationship continues to be about more than just business.
Our supply chain differs from many other brands because we minimize our environmental footprint by manufacturing close to our material sources whenever possible. In industry, it's common for raw materials to be produced on the other side of the world from where the final product is made, requiring shipping from raw materials to the factory and then from the factory to the store. We consciously choose factories located close to the source.
