With creativity and inspiration at our heart, & Other Stories approaches every part of the brand with a sustainable mindset – sustainability touches both people and planet. Our ambition is to create lovable circular fashion of premium quality that lasts beyond the season. On this journey, we are constantly looking for ways to improve.

2) come from recycled or regenerated sources; or 3) be replaced with other sustainable, non-animal fibers.

At & Other Stories, we are committed to promoting gender equality and supporting women's empowerment initiatives globally. To further this, we have partnered with UN Women Sweden to support UN Women's Second Chance Education Programme (SCE) in India. This initiative provides marginalised women access to education, vocational training, and entrepreneurial skills, paving the way for new opportunities.
As & Other Stories’ journey to supporting a change within the fashion industry from a linear to a more circular economy continues, we will keep sharing our on-going projects with you. As part of a larger vision within the H&M Group, we have further support to keep both the present and the future in mind.
