Sustainability & Transparency

What is Katla's approach to sustainability?

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we make sure to only design what our customers want and when they want it by leveraging customer insight and data into our product development and manufacturing process. We strive to design garments with a timeless appeal so they remain in style regardless of season. We only work with manufacturers that specialize in producing high quality garments on demand and in smaller production runs that are meant to last.

The fabrics we use are sourced from verified suppliers committed to sustainability and ethical labor practices. We only use recycled synthetics and organic fibers that are completely cruelty-free.  

If you are happy with the lifecycle of your garment but no longer want to wear it, we encourage you to send it back to us for a store credit of 20% of the price you paid for it. Depending on the condition of the garment we will either recycle it or resell it. For instance at our Katla airstream trailer pop-ups which will tour the country for special events and showcases.

What is sustainable fashion?

The traditional fashion industry is not environmentally friendly – it is the second worst offender of global water pollution and responsible for 10% of carbon emissions worldwide. Katla is a new kind of fashion company focused on environmental responsibility. Our designs are eco-friendly, fashionable, sustainable and cruelty-free. Our garments do not harm people, animals or the environment. When you shop at Katla, you can rest assured that your look is completely ethically-sourced, from head to toe.

How does Katla ensure a sustainable supply chain?

We engage with verified suppliers and manufacturers and only choose partners that have adopted sustainable practices. You can find information about the certifications of our suppliers and fabrics by inputting your garment’s unique product identification code on our website.

Does Katla carbon-neutralize its shipping? 

We will soon provide a carbon neutralized option for shipping. Stay tuned!

How can I see the history of my garment?

Go to “track” on the main navigation bar of the website, input your garment’s unique product identification code on the inside or outside label. You will be able to access the complete history of your garment, including material sourcing, manufacturing and shipping.

Billing & Payment

How does payment work?

For items ready to ship immediately, when you place your order, you are charged in full along with taxes and duties (where applicable) and any shipping fees.

When shipping to countries outside of the US, most destinations are delivered on a DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) basis. This means relevant import taxes and duties are calculated at checkout and processed by Katla once your order ships. If your item is delivered on a DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) basis, import taxes and duties will not be processed by Katla. Instead, the shipping carrier will invoice you upon delivery of your merchandise.

Which payment methods does Katla accept?

We accept Credit/Debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB).

Can I pay with multiple credit cards for one order?

We only accept one credit card when placing an order. To pay with multiple credit cards, please place multiple orders using different credit cards for each order.

Site Credit

If you receive a store credit, it can be used for any future orders and does not expire. The credit will automatically be deducted at checkout the next time you shop. 

Promotions

Katla may offer discounts via promotional codes in newsletters and on social media. Promotional codes must be applied during checkout and have an expiration date and possible restrictions which are detailed in conjunction with the offer. One promotional code may be applied per order.
