A LOVE OF THE SEA COMES WITH RESPONSIBILITY

Orlebar Brown was born from a love of the sea and the joy of discovering beautiful places. We know that air travel and tourism — part of how many enjoy OB — come with an environmental cost. Since 2018, we've committed to reducing our impact and supporting the restoration of vital ocean ecosystems around the world.

  • Our approach is simple and serious: MEASURE. REDUCE. BALANCE. 
With
    our partner FAIRLY MADE, we MEASURE the impact of everything we do—from the carbon in our supply chain to the footprint of our
    operations.

  • We REDUCE wherever we can, constantly refining how we work. One major shift? Moving from air to sea freight—slower, yes, but dramatically more efficient.

  • And where we can’t reduce, we  BALANCE. Through our partnership with  SEATREES, we support the regeneration of fragile coastal ecosystems in critical parts of the world.

Cambodia’s Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project

Protecting 497,000 hectares of threatened watershed—supporting biodiversity, mitigating climate change, and providing alternative livelihoods.

Portugal’s Forgotten Forest – Cascais 
Reviving

Degraded kelp forests that once supported rich marine life, cleaner waters, and coastal resilience.

We have ambitious, long-term goals on to maximise our use of responsible, recycled, and plant-based fibres—from European flax linen and organic cotton to GOTS silk, responsible wool, recycled polyamide, and lyocell. Today, 96% of our products are made in Europe, and we continue to work closely with trusted partners to deliver the highest quality with the lightest footprint.
