A Disruptive Business Model Based on Sustainability
Beira aims to truly enact change via our disruptive business model based on the seminal theory of the sustainable pillars model. Each piece of Beira clothing is created with the following principles in mind:
New Luxury: We produce functional yet feminine outerwear, occasion wear, tops and accessories, all of which are designed to last a lifetime. We market and sell our limited editions directly to consumers, eliminating the wholesale markup. The result is amazing quality at an honest, luxury price that typically stays well below the average retail cost. This strategy makes our products equitable and viable in the current climate.
Ethical Production and Transparency: We only produce clothing in an ethical manner. We pay our artisans more than a living wage and remain transparent about our process and prices. A clear representation of our process is essential to our equitable approach and fights against the fashion industry's history with its treatment of garment workers.
A Circular Economy and Reverse Resources: We source exclusively from discarded materials using a design-led manufacturing process. Beira is committed to producing clothing that is viable in the long term by embracing the circular economy and reverse resources. We believe this system is essential for the future of the fashion industry.
Collectively this allowed up to call ourselves honest luxury.
Creating a Home for Quiet and Honest Luxury
The culmination of Beira's values, mission and vision has led to Beira’s unique business model and created a nurturing home for the quiet luxury movement and the conscious consumer. Quiet luxury means investing in stunning clothing that doesn't align with fast-fashion industry norms. Honest luxury means cutting out the wholesale markup, reducing environmental impact and treating each component of the supply chain with kindness and dignity. In short, honest luxury makes it known that high-end clothing doesn't have to cost the planet.
We are dedicated to:
- On average an 85% reduction in our carbon impact compared to traditional manufacturing
- Paying artisans more than a living wage
- Using no new materials—only those saved from going to landfill
- Being transparent about production
- Selling directly to consumers
