The Sustainable Commitment
- CRAFTED FOR YOU -
At once a day, we're dedicated to fashion that endures, performs, and looks fantastic. We're proud to offer Made-to-Order and Custom-Made clothing because we believe this is the path to a more environmentally friendly future. Since 2015, we've been delighted to extend this service to all our clients, and here are 3 reasons why we're so passionate about it:
1. LESS WASTE FROM START TO FINISH
- The Engagement Factor
Made-to-Order and Custom-Made garments represent a unique commitment between us and our customers. Instead of mass-producing clothes, we create them after you've chosen what you want, which means every piece is born out of a thoughtful decision, not a rushed purchase.
With Custom-Made products, the engagement deepens as you select fabrics, design elements, and provide your measurements. This allows us to craft a garment that not only fits perfectly but also becomes your favorite wardrobe piece.
One of the most significant sources of waste in the fashion industry is clothing that's rarely or never worn and in the end thrown away without beeing used. We champion a smaller wardrobe filled with cherished garments that fit well and perform admirably.
2. PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
- Minimizing Waste
Our commitment to sustainability extends to every stage of production. We optimize patterns to minimize fabric waste during cutting. When you purchase a once a day shirt, you'll find a complementary pocket square in the same fabric—our way of optimizing fabric usage and reducing waste.
Craftsmanship is another key aspect. It takes 150 skilled artisans to complete a once a day suit, each mastering the art of suit crafting from pattern-making to cutting, sewing, and pressing. We leverage technology, using digital patterns and laser cutting to minimize waste.
High-tech machinery ensures precise fusing of fabric at the right temperature to preserve its original characteristics and feel making sure it last longer.
We meticulously inspect each garment, aiming for minimal production errors. We firmly believe that quality should always come first, even if it means higher costs, both for us, our factories or you as a user.
3. QUALITY FABRICS
- The Feel, Performance, and Look
We meticulously choose fabrics for comfort, exceptional performance, and stunning looks. Our cotton feels like true cotton, not like polyester. A cotton shirt should never mimic plastic, even after various treatments. While we offer easy-iron shirts, a truly performing cotton fabric can't be entirely "non-iron." Experience real cotton on a hot summer day or during a subway ride with a winter jacket and you will know the difference.
Our wool fabrics meet the highest standards and are perfectly fused. They breathe, exude elegance, and maintain the luxury wool suit's true characteristics. Hung properly, they straighten out and offer breathability for comfort, giving you the luxurious feel
At once a day, our accessories are crafted using genuine materials like vegetable-tanned leather for belts and wallets, sustainably sourced wool for socks, and premium silk for ties. We believe in high-quality, sustainable materials that make each accessory long-lasting, stylish, and cherished.
