One sells into the kitchen from a distance; cold, removed, and target-oriented. The other works alongside it, shaped by its realities, both informed by and in service of the people within it. Years on, with international reach and a brand recognised not only as a standard-setter but as a community, it’s clear which decision was made. Chefs Brigade began with a desire to contribute.

While sustainability has become an expected consideration within modern apparel, its definition often divides in two.
