ALL IN THE DETAIL
no deatil too small
At Karl Donoghue, we believe that true luxury lies in the detail. Every aspect of our creations is meticulously curated, from the choice of materials to the finishing touches, ensuring that each piece not only exudes elegance but also reflects our commitment to sustainability and ethical craftsmanship. Let's delve into the intricate details that make our products truly exceptional.
Corozo Button
Our Corozo buttons are crafted from the sustainable Corozo nut, a natural material derived from the seeds of palm trees. This eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic or synthetic buttons is not only durable but also environmentally conscious, sourced from trees where the nuts have naturally fallen.
Buffalo Horn Buttons and Zipper Pulls
The distinctive grain and texture of buffalo horn buttons and zipper pulls not only add a touch of visual intrigue and luxury to our products but also embody our dedication to sustainability. The waste from this natural material is repurposed as fertiliser, ensuring that every part of the buffalo horn is utilised responsibly.
YKK and Riri Zips
We use YKK and Riri zippers in our designs for their unparalleled quality and reliability. These zippers undergo rigorous testing to guarantee smooth operation, durability, and long-lasting performance, aligning perfectly with our commitment to excellence in every detail.
BCI Herringbone Lining
Our Better Cotton Initiative herringbone cotton lining sourced from Italy is a stable textile in our collection. Its subtle yet familiar weave pattern adds a touch of sophistication to our garments, while its Better Cotton Initiative certification ensures ethical sourcing practices.
Leftover Materials
We value sustainability and waste reduction. Leftover skins and fabric from our production are often repurposed in to future projects and collections. This approach, ingrained in our brand DNA, minimises waste and fosters a culture of responsible consumption and designs.
Care Labels Printed on Recycled Polyester
In our pursuit of a sustainable practice, care labels for our products are printed on recycled polyester whenever possible. By avoiding virgin polyester, we aim to reduce our environmental footprint and promote the use of recycled materials in our packaging and labelling practices.
Biodegradable Plastic Bags
We prioritise eco-conscious packaging by using biodegradable plastic bags that ensure our products travel safely while being environmentally friendly. By choosing biodegradable options, we strive to minimise our impact on the planet.
Hand Finishing
We praise to the high attention to detail by hand-stitching buttons and hand-finishing garments with an artisan approach. This is the only way we can make sure that every detail on every product are living up to our high standards and reflects a unique, personal touch to every piece.
