The Shifting Gaia rating evaluates brands based on sustainable practices, ingredients and materials, and social responsibility, among others. These are a few factors influencing this brand's score:

sustainability practices

Kohr is dedicated to sustainability, utilizing a high percentage of eco-friendly materials, such as organic linen and deadstock fabrics, in their collections. They focus on made-to-order production, which significantly reduces waste by only manufacturing items based on demand. The brand also manufactures locally in the UK, which helps reduce its carbon footprint. Additionally, they are committed to avoiding harmful chemicals and limiting water and wastewater usage.


However, while Kohr’s commitment to sustainable materials and minimizing waste is strong, there is still some use of synthetic fibers, and they have not disclosed significant efforts related to energy use or carbon offset initiatives. Their sustainability efforts are commendable, though there's room for further improvement in areas like energy transparency.

ingredients & materials

Kohr ensures that their garments are made from safe, non-toxic materials, avoiding harmful dyes and chemicals that are common in conventional fashion production. The use of organic fabrics helps minimize chemical exposure in both production and use. However, Kohr could further improve by obtaining certifications like OEKO-TEX to verify their chemical safety standards across more of their product range.

social responsibility

Kohr has made significant strides in social responsibility by ensuring that their products are produced ethically in-house and that workers receive living wages​. They also trace most of their supply chain to ensure transparency in labor practices.
