Lidia | Shirt Dress in Green

AYANI

AYANI is a Berlin-based label that designs only dresses for women. The dresses are meant for the office, events and daily life. The brand focuses on comfort, versatility and fits that work with either heels or sneakers. It builds collections around customer feedback and sells online and through its store in Berlin. Its fabrics include LENZING ECOVERO viscose, linen blends, TENCEL blends and organic cotton, and each product page lists the fibre content. AYANI works directly with production partners in Poland and Armenia and visits them regularly. Those partners must follow a supplier code of conduct addressing issues such as child labour, forced labour, pay, hours, the right to organise and safety at work. For every dress sold, the brand contributes to NGOs working against poverty and illiteracy in rural Armenia and to environmental causes. Good On You rates AYANI Good overall: Great for planet, It's a Start for people and Great for animals. It notes that the brand limits production runs, uses recycled packaging, acts to reduce transport emissions and states that its whole range is vegan. It also notes there is no evidence that workers are paid living wages.
