Since it was set up, environmental protection has been part of the DNA of Miniconf, a company born on the outskirts of the Casentino Forests National Park.
For Miniconf the obligation to produce durable and long lasting garments is closely linked to the objective of limiting waste and hence the rate of pollution. The life span of a garment ensures its reuse for more than one season and therefore, the reduction of the disposal impact at the end of its life cycle.
Since 2003 Miniconf has formally adopted the ISO 14001 environmental management system, it keeps the environmental impact under constant control, seeking to improve it in a consistent, effective and sustainable manner.
Miniconf’s policy leades every effort and investment in this direction.
In 2019 Miniconf approved the Environmental Commitment Manifesto: a path to reducing environmental impact, with concrete medium and long-term objectives
We chose to collaborate with Treedom to bring the Miniconf Forest to life

Cotton is by far the most widely used fiber in the collections of the Miniconf brands.
We are proud member of Better Cotton.
We are committed to sourcing 100% of our cotton as ‘more sustainable cotton’ by 2025. More sustainable cotton’ includes Better Cotton and organic cotton.
Better Cotton is sourced via a system of mass balance and is not physically traceable in end products. For details: bettercotton.org/massbalance
In 2013, after joining the international Fur Free Standard by LAV Italy, Miniconf has announced that the company will no longer use animal fur in its designs or new products.
The animal fur was replaced by comfortable, warm and beautiful synthetic and natural textile materials.
In order to ensure animal welfare and “animal friendly” kids fashion, we are keeping adopting new ethical policies. In 2018 and in 2020 we made other important choices: none of our products will contain leather, down and feathers any more.
