Sustainability · Materials

Textures
reconsidered.

Materials that give existing resources a new life are part of our timeless design approach. We consider texture, durability and longevity alongside appearance.

Study of recycled leather, organic wool, shearling and ecological faux fur

Our material approach · 01

Awareness begins
with the fabric.

In selected Fall Winter 2027 designs, we use recycled genuine leather, reclaimed lamb shearling, ecological faux fur and organic wool–cotton blends. We evaluate each material according to its character, performance and potential for long-term use.

01 · Recycled Leather

Recycled genuine leather

Created by revaluing existing leather resources, this material preserves the character of genuine leather while supporting reduced use of new raw materials.

02 · Organic Blend

Organic wool and cotton

Combining the softness and breathability of natural fibers, this blend is selected with tactile quality, comfort and lasting use in mind.

Reclaimed lamb shearling

Surfaces assembled from different remnants give the material a second life while making every texture distinct.

04 · Alternative Fur

Ecological faux fur

Chosen as an alternative to genuine fur, its dense texture and warmth unite strong visual impact with a more considered material choice.

Longevity · 02

Value lies not only in where a material comes from, but in how long it lives.

A lifecycle approach · 03

From first sketch
to years of wear.

A considered product is shaped by more than one decision. Material, construction, production, care and the way a piece remains in use are parts of the same cycle.

01

Material research

We examine a material's source, composition, touch, performance and suitability for the intended form before it enters a design.

02

In-house development

Design, pattern development and sampling are brought together in our Istanbul atelier, allowing fit and construction to be refined closely.

03

Controlled production

Keeping development and quality control close helps us make deliberate choices and respond precisely throughout production.

04

Care and continued use

Clear care guidance supports the preservation of texture, form and performance so that each piece can remain in a wardrobe longer.

Close production · 04

Closer processes.
Stronger control.

NISSE develops its collections through its Istanbul atelier, working with Italian mills and Turkish fabric houses. Bringing design, pattern, material selection, production follow-up and quality evaluation into one connected process makes every decision more visible.

This proximity does not turn sustainability into a finished claim. It creates the control needed to question materials, improve construction and identify the next step with greater clarity.

Designed for longevity · 05

The most responsible piece
is one that stays in use.

Timeless form

We approach silhouette beyond a single season. Distinctive yet enduring forms are designed to remain relevant as styling and wardrobes evolve.

Material performance

Appearance alone is not enough. We consider how a surface feels, moves, holds its shape and responds to repeated wear.

The value of care

Following product-specific care instructions can protect fibers and construction. Small care decisions can meaningfully extend a garment's useful life.

Transparency · 06

Progress means
making the next step visible.

We use “sustainability” as a direction for continuous improvement, not as a universal label for every product. Our priority is to communicate what we know, avoid claims we cannot substantiate and expand the information we can share over time.

  • Improve the traceability of selected materials and their compositions.
  • Increase recycled, reclaimed and responsibly selected options where performance permits.
  • Keep care information clear and specific to support longer use.
  • Share both progress and limitations with greater clarity as our work develops.

Better materials.
A longer life.

Sustainability is not a finished claim for us, but an evolving field of work. As our collections develop, we will continue to share the materials we use and the steps we take with transparency.
