Fashion inclusivity

Inclusivity in clothing and garment manufacturing means design, production, and practices that are non-discriminatory, equal, and inclusive of all users.

Offering an adequate range of sizes in collections is one way of enabling a wide range of people to dress sustainably. 

In addition, size indication plays a major role in helping customers find the right garment for them.

IVALO.COM Sizing and Measurements Study

We've been consistently hearing from our customers that there is a strong demand for a wider range of plus sizes in sustainable fashion. Customers also often request more detailed measurement information for online shopping.

Based on customer feedback, IVALO.COM has conducted a major Sizing and Measurements Study during autumn 2023, focusing on the way sustainable fashion brands indicate sizes, the range of sizes, size weighting, and the representation of the product catalog. We will leverage the findings from the sizing research to inform and collaborate with our partner brands.

IVALO.COM's objectives include adding diversity to the conventional fashion catalog. We stand for all types of bodies. Every individual has the right to be heard, to find their own sustainable clothes and to enjoy dressing up.

At IVALO.COM, we want to offer an inclusive service. The world needs an online store that also offers quality, personalized, and sustainable plus fashion in one place. From that stylishly curated and sustainably validated collection, the customer should be able to choose freely.
