  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic linen.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Here we rate Nina Rein “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use silk.
  • It states that it sources wool from non-mulesed sheep.
