Q & A with Vertura’s founder, Ronnie
Isn’t Ronnie a man’s name?
Well sometimes, but in this case it’s short for Veronica.
Er, there doesn't seem to be much technical clothing?
For now, yes; we’re just getting started. Making technical clothing takes time: there’s fabric sourcing and testing, designing, fitting, more testing, finding a manufacturing partner and so much more to do before we can make everything we have planned. But we have to start somewhere, and we’re happy that you’re here with us right at the beginning.
Why don’t you do men’s clothing too?
Because there are hundreds of brands out there doing that already, so there are plenty of options for men. Less so for women, which is where Vertura comes in.
Will you ever do men’s clothing?
No. Sorry not sorry.
Where can I buy Vertura products?
For now, just here on our website. We’re not saying we’ll never sell via other retailers (if you’re interested, get in touch!), we just aren’t right now.
Where are you based?
We are in the UK. We know lots of you live elsewhere, and we’re keen to be able to serve you as well – we are working on it.
Are your products sustainable?
That’s a big question! You could argue that making anything that uses the planet’s resources is no longer sustainable. We believe in making things better, not just making more things. That means durable clothing that performs as needed for as long as possible.
We are trying to limit our impact by focussing on making products in as responsible a way as possible. This includes considering our choice of materials (e.g. organic cotton), method of manufacture (e.g. using renewable energy), and efficiency of operations. Where possible we offer end-of-life solutions for our products so that they can be recycled or repurposed, which further reduces their impact.
