that have been damaged by misuse or activities other than the intended purpose.

OUR MISSION
We focus on simple, yet powerful design to create timeless premium quality products. We take pride in our sustainable approach, which is to produce 100% of our collections in Europe, using the most sustainable fabrics and together, we plant trees to reduce our impact on the planet.
OUR STATEMENT
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world after oil. It makes up for 10% of humanity's carbon emissions, 85% of all textiles go to waste each year and 90% of wastewater in developing countries is discharged into rivers without treatment.
Our statement: WE ARE NOT A FASHION COMPANY means that we are not like other fashion companies, driven by profits at all costs. Our drive is to create as sustainable as possible.
TOGETHER WE STRIVE
What about us, as consumers? We should expect more from brands! We should choose for brands that show ethics and responsibility. We should also adjust our relationship with products, look for better quality to discard less. We should support brands we share values with.
RESPONSIBLE DESIGN
Buy less, buy better. More than 60% of the products made are trashed within the first year. We make exceptional quality products, made to last for us to reduce our consumption and adopt the right habit.
LOCAL PRODUCTION
Buy local. We produce 100% of our product in Europe. We then avoid our products to travel half way across the globe at the expense of our planet.
PREMIUM QUALITY
Our shirts are made of the best premium quality. You can feel and see this immediately. Once a Van Harper shirt, always a Van Harper shirt.
