Sustainability
In 2025, we’re deepening our commitment to sustainability at Park & Fifth. As a growing brand in an industry facing significant challenges, we recognize that transparency isn’t just a goal—it’s the foundation for meaningful change. Our journey is ongoing, and we’re dedicated to sharing how we’re evolving to create a more responsible and positive impact on the fashion industry.
Let’s walk through where we stand, the steps we’re taking, and how we’re navigating the path forward.
Materials
We think of a sustainable product in a holistic way - not only using fabrics with low impact on the environment, but crafting high quality garments while keeping the afterlife of each component in mind. We take responsibility for all of our products and the waste we create.
Reasons why we love recycled polyester
- Creates 79% less carbon emissions than virgin polyester
- Consistency in colour and quantity
- High durability and strength
100%

Bluesign Certified
Our factory partner in China is Bluesign certified, which means that they are accountable for both their production process’ impact on the environment, but also the well-being of their employees. Employees are offered career advancement and education opportunities within fashion.
Garment Care
Our goal is for our customers to get as much use out of their dresses as possible. This means producing quality products that are easy to take care of in a way that gives both the garment and our environment a longer life.
Caring for your Dress
Taking good care of your clothes means not having to replace them as often. We encourage our customers to purchase high quality items so that they can live in their wardrobe for longer than one season or event.
Park & Fifth dresses are easy to care for making them a long lasting addition to ones wardrobe. Most dresses are machine washable, avoiding the need for the harsh chemicals found in dry cleaning.
We also promote the use of a Guppyfriend or Cora Ball to trap and properly dispose of microfibers that would otherwise end up in the oceans.

Pre-loved dresses are accepted and sold at all three of our studios.
