Aritzia’s product goal is to create everyday luxury clothing items for people to wear. They have a large portfolio of brands within their brand that specialize in specific clothing needs. Aritzia as a whole has created and developed each of these interior brands which makes them an independent label.
Aritzia has a huge team of artists. This includes a designer team with an expert eye on the fine details of their clothing, up to the placement of a button. They also have artists who create the images for their shopping bags and the artwork around the store. Aritzia even has a specialized team that creates playlists that are specific to the locations of each store.
They aim to send out quality and timeless products with the people and the planet in mind. They partner with premiere mills in France, Italy and Japan by handpicking fabrics that meet their standards based on feel, function, and sustainability. Each of their materials are efficiently processed and created with recycled fabrics and organic fibers.
Along with using quality and sustainable materials, they also take precautions to reduce climate change such as reducing carbon emissions, using renewable energy, and offsetting remaining emissions. They also support waste reduction by using reusable materials such as wooden hangers and using recycled plastics.
Aritzia is committed to supporting women’s organizations that help women of all ages succeed at both work and in life. They focus on three main areas: poverty alleviation, mentorship, and job readiness. They also provide tons of support to the women on their teams along with giving back to many non-profit women’s organizations.
Each year on International Women’s day, they launch a limited edition collection where 100% of their proceeds go back to their partner organizations to help empower women and young girls.
Other than donating to women’s groups, they also donate and volunteer for other organizations with many different causes. As of now, over 700,000 people have been impacted by Aritzia’s attempt to give back to the community. They have also sent out 125,000 care packages, 13,000 warm winter coats, and have donated $60 million dollars.
