OUR CULTURE AND VALUES
Our intention at evans is to be the first choice for women with curves.
We base our success on a set of values that make up the essence of our brand. Read on to find out what we’ve committed to...
- Quality
Celebrating curves
Goodbye size zero, hello size hero
We believe that beauty comes from confidence and from celebrating the things we love about ourselves.
Our customers don’t want to look in the mirror and see their weight as their defining feature. We want them to be empowered, not despite their figures, but because of them.
We want to create clothing that flatters gorgeous, feminine figures. We believe in comfort without compromise and we will stop at nothing to bring current, fashionable clothes to curvaceous women.
Fashion forward
Looking good, feeling great
We scour the globe to source the most sumptuous fabrics and spot the most exciting new styles, always keeping a close eye on the catwalks to bring our customers truly modern and trend-led fashion.
In our non-stop quest to stay ahead, we ma<pke sure we look at things through our customers’ eyes at all times. After all, it’s their view of the high street that’s important.
Respect
Inspiring it, commanding it
Our business is underpinned by respect and professionalism. We want every single member of our team to buy into our brand values, to respect each others views and to create a positive, motivational environment in which we can all thrive. We get everyone involved in the business as we all have a part to play.
We also want all our customers to feel respected, to come out of our stores feeling happy and confident.
Quality
From studio to shop floor
Quality runs through everything we do at evans. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail in our fit, finish and design – to create clothing that looks great and feels fantastic.
OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY........
Breakthrough Breast Cancer
Breakthrough Breast Cancer is a charity close to our hearts, with the disease affecting 41,000 women each year. As well as funding vital research into both treatment and prevention at its dedicated research centre, Breakthrough is also committed to raising awareness of the illness.
In 2008, we raised £20,530 for the charity. This year we pledge our continuing support to raise even more to help combat this devastating disease.
Give As You Earn
Give As You Earn is a simple, efficient and flexible scheme, which allows Arcadia employees to donate to any charity of their choice by a direct deduction from their wage. All donations given in this way are tax-free so the charity receives the donation and the tax you would have paid on the amount.
Presently 70% of the UK’s population gives to charity, but over £900 million per year is being lost by charities, as they are not receiving the tax on these donations. Through the Give As You Earn scheme, the donation is worth at least 28% more to their chosen cause.
