Bespoke tailoring can be seen as an inherently sustainable business as it encourages slow fashion. High quality fabrics are used and the outfits are tailored specifically to the individual, to fit them well and be worn across many years.

As 80% of the tailoring process is done by hand, the carbon footprint is incredibly low. For the issue of wastage in tailoring, a skilled cutter is generally quite efficient in using the cloth so very little amount of fabric waste would ultimately end up in the disposal. It is also common practice for larger design houses to donate off-cut cloths and trimmings to students. Compare this to mass-produced garments where, on average, 35% of all materials in the supply chain end up as waste before the final product reaches the consumer.
