Introducing our More Sustainable Collection!

We're introducing our More Sustainable Collection -  new vintage inspired styles made with a more sustainable and eco-responsible fabric!

Thelma Rainbow Polka Dot Jumpsuit Margot Rainbow Polka Dot Swing Dress Megan Rainbow Polka Dot Swing Skirt Stevie Rainbow Polka Dot Top

The fabric we've chosen has a lower impact on the environment than the generic viscose, which can use heavy chemical processes and contribute to deforestation.

It’s a small start but it’s an important step for us. We are working towards expanding the range and widening the techniques used to create more sustainable products. We are not a fully sustainable brand but we care about the impact that fashion has on the planet. The aim is to evolve and be able to offer our lovely customers the same Collectif designs, with a more sustainable story.

The new print comes on a black base with small rainbow polka dots and it has a slightly heavier feel than the standard light viscose. This heavier fabric also makes it wearable all year round to maximise the usability of these styles.  You have plenty to choose from, so if you’re a jumpsuit person the Thelma Rainbow Polka Dot Jumpsuit is for you. For a vintage look try the Margot Rainbow Polka Dot Swing Dress, perfect for day time parties or events. For gorgeous separates we have the Stevie Rainbow Polka Dot Top, which can be worn with the matching Megan Rainbow Polka Dot Swing Skirt or with your favourite jeans or wide leg trousers.

What is the new Rainbow Polka range made from?

For these styles we are using LENZING™ ECOVERO™. This viscose is derived from renewable wood sources using an eco-responsible production process. ECOVERO™ offers up to 50% lower emissions and water impact than generic viscose and 100% supply chain transparency.

Why is this good?

  • Made from sustainable Wood Source
  • Uses eco responsible fibres
  • Has lower water impact

Collectif Designer and Sustainability Officer Eleanor says: “it's not just clothing that we are looking at. All areas of production and operations are under review. From warehouse to stores to head office and everything in between. Watch this space for more updates soon!”

Be bright!

This gorgeous little combo screams Autumn with a fabulous check in bright
orange, red and yellow. Picking out the red tones from the Alexa Autumn
Leaves skirt
, team it with the Jorgie polo top with its sweet buttoned peter pan collar, the Tisha belt to accentuate the waist and a Maddy petticoat to add extra swish with every step you take. The Kiria necklace and Evie Ascot scarf add interest with little accent pops of mustard to match the check. Finish off this outfit with the Korrina trench coat, which can easily fit a petticoat underneath its full swing skirt, and the ruched faux leather gloves to keep your hands toasty on a crisp morning.

Two Tone-tastic!

Wearing tonal shades of the same colour always works really well, especially when it’s an autumnal shade like a deep forest green. The Mara Garden Stripes swing design features two green accent colours, long sleeves perfect for cold days and pockets for those of us that like to plunge our hands into our dresses. Wear the Cara green cardigan over the dress to keep you warm and cosy with it’s soft and fuzzy feel, as well as the stunning Annasofia coat which features a gorgeous green velvet tie at the back. The Doris croc bag makes for a great daytime stowaway for your phone and purse, and has a fabulous faux croc texture. Complete this outfit with the Gertrude high heels and Lauren beret for a practical but cute look as you sashay around the shops.
