AFRICA BORN IN MY HEART ASSOCIATION
We supported this association with 3% of the incoming orders in March, in order to provide women with necessary hygiene products for their period. This association was established in 2017 and has been improving the daily lives of people living in Manafwa, Africa ever since. Medical examinations and preventive sessions related to fertility awareness, body awareness, menstruation and period poverty are also covered by professionals who also focus on examinations, treatments and education affecting the health of women and adolescent girls.
FOR RAINBOW FAMILIES FOUNDATION
We supported the #familyisfamily campaign among the For Rainbow Families Foundation with 1% of the incoming orders in month of June. This foundation makes it possible for children to grow up in a loving, caring and supporting environment. The concept of marriage and family have been changing for the last couple of years. Although families with parents of different sexes are the idealized model, there are other (rainbow) types of families as well. We believe that the most important thing for a child is to grow up in a loving and caring environment, that the concept of family is much more colorful than we’d sometimes think. Family is family, no matter the age, race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. All that matters are the people who make the family one.

WHERE THE INSIRATION COMES FROM:
The best ideas strike in the most unexpected times. Those of you who work in a field that requires creativity, may already know that inspiration can come anywhere, anytime. Sometimes it’s enough to sit tight quietly, holding a pen and a paper in your hand, focusing only on designing. Other times, the best ideas strike out of nowhere while bathing, during a massage or when you’re asleep in your dreams. Of course, when brainstorming over a new collection, I always keep my previously created pieces in mind, and all the great feedback I get from my customers. Some things that became a trademark of FANNA are repetitive pieces in new collections.
SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
Right up in the beginning, we decided to take responsibility and do everything in our power to ensure best environmentally-friendly packaging possible. Recycled packaging is a great way to extend the life of previously used materials. Our whole packaging is made from recycled or partially recycled materials, and as a bonus to that, with every purchase you get a free gift bag made of recycled materials (likejeans or/and other re-used materials). We reuse and recycle everything that is possible. We collect different materials selectively. Not only paper, metal and plastic but textiles as well thus we produce almost no communal waste. We make our products uniquely for you after ordering thus endeavor environment friendliness as we don’t a huge stockpile.
CERTIFIED MATERIALS
Our brand works with environment friendly materials such as ECONYL® and OEKO-TEX® certified Organic Cotton. Our long-term goal is to support our world’s sustainability on a broad scale level and choosing the right material was no question at all. It's very important to us that women who wear our pieces feel self-confident and great in their skin. All the Fanna pieces are meant for those environmentally and health conscious women who want to get the maximum out of themselves..
OEKO-TEX® CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON
By choosing Oeko-Tex certified Organic Cotton material for our pieces, we support reducing the environmental footprint and most importantly safe work & better livelihoods. The OEKO-TEX® certified Organic Cotton material we use is a first class material which meets the human-ecological requirements of the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®.
- 80% reduction in water consumption
- 80% reduction in energy consumption
- Reducing carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere ess soil and water pollution
- Better land fertility
- Beneficial impact on the health of farmers and their families
- When growing ordinary cotton, about 10% of all chemicals used in global agriculture are used - no such agents are used in the production of bio-cotton.
- Among the undoubted advantages of organic cotton are its properties, such as unusual softness and delicacy in the grip, which, thanks to the greater strength of the fibers, is possible even after repeated washing.
ECONYL®
Econyl is created from synthetic waste such as industrial plastic, waste fabric, and fishing nets from oceans, then recycled and regenerated them into a new nylon yarn that is exactly the same quality as virgin nylon. It can be recycled, recreated and remoulded again and again, which means you can create new products and buy new products without having to use new resources. For every 10 000 tons of ECONYL® raw material, we are able to save 70 000 barrels of crude oil and avoid 57 000 tonnes of CO2 eq. emissions. As well as being a solution on waste, ECONYL® regenerated nylon is also better when it comes to climate change. It reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 80% compared with the material from oil.
Process behind the material:
- Rescue The ECONYL® Regeneration System starts with rescuing waste, like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring and industrial plastic from landfills and oceans all over the world. That waste is then sorted and cleaned to recover all of the nylon possible.
- Regenerate Through a radical regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is recycled right back to its original purity. That means ECONYL® regenerated nylon is exactly the same as virgin nylon.
- Remake ECONYL® regenerated nylon is processed into carpet yarn and textile yarn for the fashion and interior industries.
- Reimagine The beauty of ECONYL® regenerated nylon is that it has the potential to be recycled infinitely, without ever losing its quality. We believe circular design is the future and using ECONYL® is our first step on that journey.
