Ethical Sourcing
At Azzurra, empowerment and ethical practices are core to everything we do. We ensure that everyone involved in creating our pieces is in a safe and supportive environment by partnering with suppliers and manufacturers who align with our values. We focus on sourcing materials responsibly and maintaining social and environmental standards.

Our internal CSR team works with industry experts and ethical sourcing tools to keep our practices up-to-date with the latest standards.

Designed in Italy
Each Azzurra piece is designed with care in Italy by our team of designers, technologists, buyers, and production experts. Our process, from initial sketches to final delivery, takes up to six months and includes fabric selection, detailed tech packs, sample fittings, and production.

Country of Manufacturing
Azzurra garments are produced by vetted suppliers in China and Portugal. We prioritize transparency and partner with manufacturers who uphold safe and fair working conditions, verified through rigorous audits.

Audits
We use SEDEX audits to ensure our manufacturing partners meet high social and environmental standards, aligning with our Code of Conduct and Supplier Agreements.

Environment
Azzurra expects our suppliers to minimize environmental impact during manufacturing and adhere to our Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL) at all times.
