These in no way impinge on their beauty, and you can be sure that they do not compromise the integrity of the material. Any little area of actual damage or thinning is repaired with a tiny embroidered patch (one of my favourite features!), and this is always clearly mentioned in the description.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustainability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Every time a Pavilion Parade piece is purchased a donation is made via \u003ca title=\"Ecologi carbon offset initiative\" href=\"https:\/\/ecologi.com\/joanneflemingdesign\"\u003eEcologi\u003c\/a\u003e to fund the planting of a tree and make a positive net contribution to combatting climate change. \u003cspan\u003eThe trees are environmentally high value and part of gold standard schemes designed and managed to benefit local communities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePackaging\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eGarments\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eare dispatched in acid free tissue paper and recyclable cardboard boxes sealed with kraft paper eco tape.
