Our Story
Trvl Porter is owned and operated by women who care deeply about people and the planet.
Started by FIDM alumni, Stefanie Nissen, years of experience working in the fashion industry exposed her to the negative impact the industry has on the environment. She began to see that a traditional path as a designer in the fashion industry was not in alignment with her values and concern for sustainable ways of living and consuming.
Making a positive change, she pivoted from fashion designer to stylist feeling fulfilled by helping women look and feel confident through style and self expression. With her love for styling, her passion for travel and her advocacy for sustainable fashion, TRVL PORTER was born.
OUR BRAND VALUES
We choose the brands we present on TRVL PORTER according to our main values as a sustainable fashion company.
female owned
When you support Women Owned businesses, you are investing in women's economic empowerment, gender parity in commerce, vibrant communities, and the growth of the economy overall.
BIPOC OWNED
Supporting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) owned brands is a tangible way to be an ally. It helps BIPOC communities share in the economic opportunities available, brings different perspectives to the fore, and celebrates diversity in an otherwise white-centric industry.
ECO RESPONSIBLE MATERIALS
We are committed to working with brands that use high quality fabrics that are kind to both people and the planet. We look to independent certifications such as Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Oeko-Tex and Bluesign to guide our decision making.
ETHICALLY MADE
We are committed to working with brands that manufacture in practice and environments that are kind to both people and the planet. We look for brands who have factory certification from WRAP and who are compliant with the BSCI code of conduct.
CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS
We are proud to support One Tree Planted. An organization whose mission is to make it simple for people to give back to their environment. Their goal is to help recover endangered forest ecosystems and protect fresh water supply. https://www.womenforwomen.org/
