Since the opening of the Atelier, ABP have developed a working environment built on collaboration and transparency, ensuring every member of staff is a valued member of the team.
At ABP, employees are paid a fixed wage above the industry average and their efficiency is monitored and rewarded accordingly. ABP consistently review wages to ensure all employees can thrive both at the factory and in their communities. ABP strives to reward hard-working employees and always looks to promote them to new, key positions within the atelier.
ABP have developed a workplace which supports fair labour practices and encourages the growth and development of each individual within the team.
ABP staff members are encouraged to take on responsibility and to adopt a proactive attitude and an entrepreneurial spirit. Employees take part in regular team building activities, training sessions and annual reviews.
ABP value quality over quantity and take pride in their use of sophisticated and intricate construction techniques. These techniques require a highly-skilled team who are valued and respected for their exceptional level of craftsmanship and expertise. This commitment to skill and attention to detail guarantees the quality and durability of each piece produced at the Atelier.
ABP embrace a slow-fashion philosophy, adopting an Atelier mindset that favours smaller, high-quality production runs. By prioritising a skilled workforce and intricate construction techniques over mass production, the Atelier offers an alternative to the fast fashion model.
ABP recognise the waste and emissions generated by the fashion industry and are committed to making more sustainable choices whenever possible. See our Sustainability section for more information.
In 2023 the ABP Atelier relocated to a new, state-of-the-art, modern facility providing ABP staff with space, light and clean conditions to work in.
ABP strongly believes in the value of collaboration, training and personal development within the team, and with their clients.
ABP and Bordelle set up the ABP Instagram and website with the goal to showcase and improve the transparency of the production of Bordelle’s luxury lingerie pieces. Clients are encouraged to visit ABP’s production facility on a regular basis.
