Small Luxuries. Big Impact.
Being fashion-forward also means protecting future generations. Our commitment to deliver an elevated wardrobe comes without sacrificing quality or our home, Mother Earth.
We are continually seeking sustainable sources for quality fabric and innovative technology so that each garment can be made responsibly with minimal impact on the planet.
At Dressing Paula, we are steadfast in this journey to take green steps.
Incorporating the 6 Rs of sustainability framework into the design process, Revival by Dressing Paula encapsulates our greener approach to fashion. As the name suggests, it breathes new life into timeless wardrobe pieces through improved materials and a more thoughtful creation process. Revival represents our commitment to luxury style with purpose, reducing our environmental impact with each consciously created piece.
Reshaping our design process begins with the first R, rethink. With a focus on creating more durable pieces that are also recycle-friendly, we intend to create longer-lasting pieces that have high repurposing value. We are also sourcing safer, sustainably-sourced regenerated or recycled materials that have a lower carbon footprint.
Since 2021, this is our journey so far:
In 2021, we released our GOTS-certified sweater made of 95% organic cotton. GOTS is the leading international standard for processing organic fibres that have been measured transparently and independently.
This was followed by the REA shirt made out of premium Supima cotton, known for its sturdy material and well-made retention.
More recently, we launched The Summer Shirt, made from long-lasting Flax Linen and crafted with our Signature French Seam, a technique that strengthens the structure.

Sustainability includes both planet and people and we know the importance in engaging and uplifting community.
For us, this includes collaborating with brands that have aspiring motivations and in turn, inspires us to greater heights.
Our on-going partnerships with our Wellness family help us move the needle in our sustainability journey and ensure a positive impact that spreads far and beyond our own reach.
While we are just getting started on this journey of sustainability, by the end of 2023 we aim to:
Transition 80% of our packaging to ^FSC-certified material, such as paperbags and mailerbags.
Kickstart upcycling fabric initiatives with relevant organisation and public awareness.
For the latter, we are in conversation with Women's Aid Organisation to work with the community under their care to transform unused fabrics into jewellery pouches. This has the added social impact of empowering vulnerable communities to upskill and earn an income.
^FSC is the gold standard in ethically produced materials made from responsibly-managed forests.
Change doesn’t happen alone. We welcome all interested collaborators who share our vision.
