In today’s world, sustainability in fashion is more than just a trend — it’s a responsibility. As conversations about environmental impact become more urgent, the focus is often on what a product is made of or how it’s produced. But there’s a less visible piece of the sustainability puzzle that is just as important: how a product gets to you.
At Drink in Style, our commitment to the planet doesn’t end with materials or packaging. We extend that same care to the journey our products make — all the way from Italy to Australia. That’s why we proudly import our accessories using DHL GoGreen, a carbon-reducing shipping program that reflects our values of transparency, responsibility, and environmental care.
Why Shipping Methods Matter in Sustainability
Global logistics is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. With the rapid growth of online shopping and international trade, millions of products are shipped around the world every day — often without consideration of the environmental cost.
Traditional air and sea freight methods rely heavily on fossil fuels and can leave a significant carbon footprint. This reality demands a shift toward more sustainable shipping practices, especially for businesses that care about their long-term impact.
For small, independent brands like Drink in Style, choosing a cleaner path isn’t just an operational decision — it’s a statement of purpose.
What Is DHL GoGreen?
DHL GoGreen is a global logistics initiative focused on reducing and offsetting carbon emissions associated with shipping and delivery. DHL achieves this through:
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF):DHL uses biofuels made from renewable waste materials such as used cooking oils and agricultural residues to power aircraft, significantly cutting emissions compared to traditional jet fuel.
Carbon Offsetting:For emissions that can’t be eliminated, DHL invests in certified climate protection projects, including reforestation and renewable energy, to balance out the carbon footprint of shipments.
Energy-Efficient Fleet and Operations:DHL continuously upgrades its vehicles and facilities to improve fuel efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
By partnering with DHL GoGreen, Drink in Style ensures that every shipment from Italy to Australia aligns with our mission to protect the environment while delivering quality products.
Our Supply Chain: Thoughtful from Start to Finish
Every Drink in Style accessory begins its journey in Italy, where it is handcrafted by skilled artisans using vegan-certified, cruelty-free, and eco-conscious materials. These products are then packaged with minimal, recyclable materials — no plastic, no excess — just elegance and responsibility.
Once ready for shipment, they’re entrusted to DHL GoGreen, ensuring their international journey is as clean and conscious as their origin.
This commitment doesn’t end when the product arrives. We continue to prioritize sustainability in every step: from market displays made with upcycled materials to online packaging that’s as earth-friendly as possible.
Why This Choice Matters
Sustainable shipping is not just an operational improvement — it’s a core part of our identity. By choosing DHL GoGreen, we:
Help reduce global carbon emissions
Support sustainable aviation and carbon-reducing innovations
Deliver a product that’s truly ethical, from start to finish
Empower conscious consumers to shop with purpose
When you purchase from Drink in Style, you’re not just investing in a beautiful and functional product. You’re supporting a company that asks harder questions and seeks better answers — for the planet, and for the future.
Looking Ahead: A Greener Way Forward
The future of global trade is increasingly tied to environmental accountability. Governments are tightening emissions standards, and consumers are demanding transparency in how products are made — and moved. Brands that don’t adapt risk being left behind.
At Drink in Style, we’re choosing to lead. We believe that fashion should feel good, look good, and do good. That’s why every decision we make — even those behind the scenes — is guided by a genuine commitment to sustainability.
Final Thoughts
There’s a quiet elegance in knowing that the accessory you’re wearing didn’t just arrive — it traveled responsibly.
It came from a place of tradition and craftsmanship, crossed the globe with care, and reached you with as little impact on the environment as possible.
We’re proud of the path we’ve taken — and even prouder to share it with customers who value quality, integrity, and the planet.
Thank you for choosing Drink in Style — where sustainability isn’t a slogan; it’s the journey.
