Products

An increasing number of products on sale in Debenhams use organic materials.

Our designer range Rocha.John Rocha is our key organic range across menswear, womenswear, childrenswear and homeware. Items being introduced during 2008 include:

  • menswear: new underwear and loungewear ranges in April;
  • womenswear: new ranges of cotton T-shirts and denim to complement existing lines in April; new sleepwear lines in May;
  • childrenswear: continuation of babywear offer; and
  • home: bedding available from April to add to current towel ranges.

Men’s casual brand Mantaray features a number of organic lines and has a tie-up with the Marine Conservation Society. A new loungewear offer will be available in the Maine New England brand from April 2008. Our Thomas Nash brand includes organic socks in many colourways.

In womenswear, new organic jersey products will be in store during 2008 as well as organic sleepwear and new cotton lingerie in the Comfort by Presence range consisting of padded and non-padded bras, shorts and thongs.

In our restaurants and cafes, we have a number of initiatives including: sustainable coffee, free range eggs, recycling of used cooking oil into bio-diesel and sandwich wrappers and napkins made from 100% recycled card/paper.

An easy way for everyone to reduce their impact on the environment is to use a lower temperature in their washing machines. We are raising awareness of this by including 30 degree wash information on the washcare labels of relevant products “This product can be washed at 30 degrees to save energy.”
