Summary

AYA by DK demonstrates a commitment to integrating art and sustainability into its fashion designs, notably through the use of recycled materials in its mixed-media art and offering rental services for select pieces. However, the brand lacks transparency in several key areas, including supply chain practices, material sourcing specifics, and labor conditions. The absence of detailed information and recognized certifications makes it challenging to fully assess the brand's sustainability performance. Enhancing transparency and providing concrete data on these aspects would significantly improve the brand's sustainability profile.
