Fashion Flower

Our Engagement is dedicated to fair trade, sustainability and the support of small rose plantations, the so-called fincas. We appreciate the personal contact, know exactly where our roses grow and know all participants and interfaces between the cultivation up to the delivery to the Swiss retail.

Quality has many aspects for us. Some are directly visible to our customers: our exquisite roses, personal contact with our customers and good service.

Other aspects are more complex. The cultivation of roses in Ecuador. The respect for workers, employees and the environment as a component of quality.

We are in daily contact with our suppliers and partners in Ecuador. On site we check the conditions in order to be able to initiate necessary developments together with our partners. Knowing the culture and language is an essential prerequisite to get an all-embracing and correct picture.

Our Engagement is about our fincas the following labels:

Environmental sustainability is an important topic for us with the background of CO2 and the greenhouse effect. The long way of the flowers from Ecuador to us in Switzerland may seem hardly justifiable at first sight. In fact, however, the cultivation is the crucial point.

An excerpt from a study by myclimate clearly shows this:

Per kg of cut flowers, emissions in Europe exceed emissions in Ecuador - including air transport - by a factor of 4 on average. The influences of the cultivation method are therefore more important and should not be underestimated here.

From a purely climatic point of view, European greenhouses cause higher CO2 emissions than the cultivation of cut flowers in overseas countries plus air transport.

The close contact with our rose plantations allows us to stand as a reference on the Swiss market for diversity and an extensive exclusive range of roses and cut flowers. New and attractive varieties regularly complement our assortment and make our offer varied, so that our customers and floral designers can creatively develop and create something new.

There are several rose plantations in Ecuador - it is a challenge to find the partners that meet our requirements in terms of quality, social Engagement and selection. We work exclusively with certified fincas and audit personally. In close cooperation, ideas are created, new varieties are defined and the assortment is constantly expanded and updated.

The result of these efforts can be found in our exclusive online store here.

For over 16 years, we have been active as a wholesaler on the Swiss market on behalf of the rose.

Our assortment of roses makes every heart beat faster with over 300 different varieties and we have become a reference point for florists on national terrain and beyond for exclusive and high quality roses from Ecuador.

Quality and service are our top priorities and we make sure that you get the roses you want from us. The roses are selected and cut according to order for you - this means we can also take into account your wishes regarding the degree of opening of the flower heads.

We support small rose plantations, the so-called fincas; fair trade, sustainability and respect for employees is part of our quality awareness and is very close to our hearts.

We appreciate that you let us be part of your creations and that you create extraordinary things from our roses - through your artistic hand as floral designers and florists.

For over 17 years I have pursued my passion and work with exclusive roses and cut flowers. Colors, styles, shapes and the vibrancy of cut flowers never cease to amaze me. Nature works wonders here and I consider myself lucky to be able to work with natural products. Our roses and cut flowers not only bring a smile to my face, but also to our customers. This is exactly my passion and I pursue this passion with all my heart.

As Getrude Stein already stated in 1913:
A rose is a rose is a rose.

In Ecuador, my home country, I grew up with cut flowers and realized event decorations with many species and varieties; I have seen many brides throw the bridal bouquet - made with much dedication and joyful excitement. The decorations I created with my team evoked in me the creativity that I would like to promote today among floral designers and florists through our wholesale assortment at Fashion Flower Ltd.

Yours, Carolina Chanton, CEO
