Meet our MATERIAL girls

‘Cause we’re living in a material world... and the fabrics we use matter.​ ​

As part of our Kind mission to reduce our impact on people and the planet, we’re using lower-impact materials across our collections . Though we’re always striving for more, we’re proud to share that over 60% of our summer ’23 range is Kind, meaning it's made with fabrics with a lower environmental impact.*​ ​

​ Scroll to find out more about some of the partnerships we support, along with lower-impact fabrics you might come across when shopping with us – you’ll learn why they’re better for the environment compared to standard alternatives too! ​ ​​

Spoiler alert: we’ve also thrown some of our favourite new-season Kind picks into the mix… ​​

*Compared to our summer ‘22 collection. Find out more at www.newlook.com/kind

1. Meet our COTTON

She’s cool, breezy and better for those around her. ​

​ We invest in Better Cotton . Their mission? To help cotton communities survive and thrive, while also protecting the environment. Think training farmers to use water efficiently, care for soil health and natural habitats, and protecting their rights, health and safety.​ ​

Djeneba Kone, a farmer worker in Mali, Africa shared, “Before the BCI Programme began in this area, women would be paid only a quarter of what men were paid for a day’s work during harvest season. Now, because of BCI training sessions, men and women are paid equal.” ​

We’re delighted to say that in April, we achieved our commitment to source 100% lower-impact cotton . Breezy, never clingy and always one to stay cool, you’ll find cotton in our tees , dresses , denim and more.

2. Meet our VISCOSE

She feels silky smooth and is EU Ecolabel certified.​

​ LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose is our hero thanks to her Kind credentials: made from wood pulp from responsibly managed forests, using 50% less water and 50% less CO2 emissions during manufacture compared to standard viscose.** ​ ​

Oh, and did we mention she feels silky smooth, so you’ll love wearing her all day long? Find her in our dresses , tops and more. ​ ​

We're on track to sourcing 100% lower-impact viscose by April 2024. Watch this space.​

3. Meet our LINEN

She’s versatile, long-lasting and all-natural. ​

Zero waste, zero chemicals but ALL natural, there’s nothing not to love about our Kind linen fibres. She comes from flax, a plant which requires no environmentally harmful chemicals to grow, and it can be used in its entirety as scraps can be salvaged for oil, animal feed and fertiliser. ​

On top of that, she’s ultra-versatile, breathable and easy care (because who irons anymore, anyway). Find her in our dresses, tops, trousers and more.
