At Bastet Noir, we are committed to ethical fashion that respects all living beings. Our approach to sustainability and animal welfare centers around minimizing harm, maximizing transparency, and using resources responsibly.

1. Use of Animal-Derived Materials

While Bastet Noir does not source any new animal-derived fabrics, we do use limited quantities of wool, cashmere, and silk that are exclusively sourced from deadstock materials.

By choosing deadstock, we:

• Avoid supporting continued demand for animal-derived textiles
• Extend the life cycle of existing materials
• Reduce environmental waste and pollution

We do not use materials like:

• Fur
• Leather
• Exotic animal skins (e.g., crocodile, snake, ostrich)
• Down or feathers

This ensures that no animals are harmed or killed specifically for our garments.

2. Cruelty-Free Commitment

Bastet Noir is a cruelty-free brand. We do not engage in or support animal testing in any part of our design, sourcing, or production processes. All our partners are required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes our standards for animal welfare and ethical material sourcing.

3. Responsible Sourcing & Transparency

We are proud of our traceable, small-batch supply chain. By working exclusively with local, women-owned ateliers and using made-to-order production, we maintain full visibility over the materials used and the practices involved.

Our policy ensures:

• No new animal exploitation
• No contribution to overproduction or textile waste
• Full disclosure of materials used in every design

4. Continuous Improvement

We remain committed to improving our standards as innovation in ethical and sustainable textiles evolves. We continually review our material choices and seek out alternatives that are both compassionate and environmentally sound.

At Bastet Noir, style and compassion go hand in hand. By choosing animal-free materials and ethical production methods, we honor both the people and the planet behind our products.
