Cuyana's Sustainability Rating:

Good

Cuyana is rated Good because it intentionally chooses lower emissions materials and take responsibility for the full lifecycle of its products. It uses a majority of more sustainable materials in its items, including regenerative linen, GOTS cotton, and LWG leather. Cuyana intentionally limits its production to avert waste, and helps keeps items out of landfill by offering multiple resale programs and a 2-year warranty. Cuyana is a small company, which likely means fewer resources for robust reporting, but we hope to see it disclose information on its energy use or emissions measurement and reduction in the future.


  • Raw Materials

    Cuyana claims 100% of its products are made with lower emissions materials, including regenerative linen, LWG leather, recycled polyester, organic cotton, RCS cashmere, and RWS wool. It also uses materials with certifications including Bluesign, GOTS, OKEO-TEX, and GRS.


  • Energy Use & Production

    Commons couldn't find information on this brand's energy use. Cuyana sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the fashion industry.


  • Packaging & Distribution

    Cuyana has worked to reduce virgin plastic in its packaging. It has a goal to achieve 100% carbon-neutral packaging by 2025, though it's not clear if it's on track. Its eco-friendly packaging materials include GRS recycled bags.


  • Repair & Care

    Cuyana doesn't offer repair services or support. Cuyana offers a 2 year warranty in the US for manufacturer defects. It gives detailed and environmentally conscious care instructions for its items.


  • Take Back Programs

    Cuyana has take back programs, Cuyana Revive and a partnership with ThredUp, that accept this brand's and any brand's items for resale. Cuyana doesn't share details on the efficacy or impact of these programs.


  • Slow Fashion

    Cuyana offers a core evergreen collection. It limits new additions and releases. It limits overproduction and waste by reducing its batch size to prevent unsold merchandise - it reports selling through 90% of products made.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Cuyana has a prominent sustainability page that provides information on materials, packaging, circularity, and supply chain partners. This page was last updated in 2023. Like many small brands, it doesn't publish an annual sustainability report.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Commons couldn't find information for emissions tracking.


  • Emissions Targets

    Commons couldn't find verification that it offsets any emissions. Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for Cuyana.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Cuyana shares information about some of its suppliers, including the countries of some Tier 1 manufacturers. It doesn't have, or doesn't make public, any supplier code of conduct.
