The clothing chain has a store in the Georgetown area of Washington, D.C., at 3033 M St. NW, and in nearby Montgomery County, Maryland, at 4823 Bethesda Ave. in Bethesda, according to the company's website.
Reformation pledged to be climate positive by 2025, so it is moving to use better materials, eliminating silk and conventional cashmere in the next year, and sourcing more recycled materials.
"Our cashmere, leather, and viscose have big carbon footprints," the company says on its website. "Even though cashmere represents less than 1% of the material we purchase, it accounts for almost half of our footprint due to its high carbon intensity. Pretty expensive sweater."
