Collection: Albetta
Albetta is a family business started in 1998 when she was looking for clothes for her two toddlers while living in Saigon, Vietnam. Inspired by Vietnamese handcraft skills like macrame and crochet, she decided to make her own layette collection for the UK gift market. Twenty + years later the Albetta collection has expanded to daywear, toys and accessories and is now sold at top retailer around the world including Bergdorf Goodman, Anthropologie and over 1,000 specialty stores and boutiques nationwide.
The garment sector is one of the world's most polluting industries. At Albetta they know that if they extend the life of a garment by NINE months, they reduce its carbon and water footprint by 30%. It has been their policy from the early days to make their garments from high quality fabrics, using thread and accessories that are free from harmful chemicals, so that they can be washed and dried multiple times without losing quality. All of their garments undergo wash and colorfastness tests. They have schemes in place to re-use and recycle all our waste fabric and any excess garments are donated to charities or given to their employees.
