Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials this brand uses. For a small brand, we assume use of a mix of material types. Christy Dawn appears to use a mix of low emissions materials, including deadstock fabrics, and high emissions materials such as conventional wool, alpaca wool, and cotton. It doesn't share any targets for improving its materials mix. It offers two collections that may be lower emissions: Regenerative Alpaca, and Farm-to-Closet.
Energy Use & Production

It gives detailed and environmentally conscious care instructions for its garments.

Christy Dawn has a take back program, Christ Dawn Regenerates, and a ThredUp partnership that both accept this brand's clothing for resale. It hasn't provided information on the efficacy of its takeback programs since 2020.
Slow Fashion
Christy Dawn offers a core collection, but releases new items and fabrics throughout the year. It limits overproduction and waste by using deadstock materials and reusing fabrics.
Marketing
Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.
Transparency & Reporting
Christy Dawn has a prominent sustainability page, with details on materials, labor practices, and supply chain partners. It's unclear how often this page or information is kept up to date. Like many small brands, it doesn't release an annual sustainability report.
Emissions Tracking
Commons couldn't find information for emissions tracking.
Emissions Targets
Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for Christy Dawn. Christy Dawn works with EcoCart to allow customers to purchase shipping offsets at checkout.
Supply Chain & Labor
Christy Dawn publishes limited information about some of its supply chain partners, from Tier 1-3. It doesn't have, or doesn't make publi,c any supplier code of conduct, but it states that some of its collections are designed to pay a living wage.
Christy Dawn is rated Good because it works to reduce waste at both ends of the product lifecycle. Christy Dawn uses a mix of materials, including low emissions deadstock fabric, and it helps keeps garments out of landfill by offering multiple resale programs. It doesn't share its emissions data, but it allows customers to offset their shipping emissions on checkout. It's a small brand, with likely limited resources, but we hope to see it continue to improve its materials, and share more information on its energy strategy in the future.
