CAES

CAES is an Amsterdam-based womenswear label that rejects fast, seasonal fashion and instead designs timeless pieces to be worn all year round. It releases two collections a year as editions, which include tailoring, knitwear, jersey, dresses, skirts and trousers. Popular styles carry over from earlier editions. The label produces in limited runs in Italy and Portugal using responsibly sourced materials such as reclaimed fabrics and RWS merino. Where possible, it reuses the same fabrics and yarns across editions to cut material waste. CAES is sold online and through stockists including SSENSE, Net-A-Porter and INCU. Good On You rates CAES Good overall. It scores Great for planet, citing organic cotton and other lower-impact materials, limited production, manufacturing closer to home and FSC-certified packaging. For people and animals the rating is It's a Start. Good On You notes non-mulesed wool but found no evidence of living wages in the supply chain.
