Suppliers

Currently we have to import the fabrics, but it is still better than using conventional cotton or synthetic fabrics as the fuel used for transport has less impact than all the chemicals that were saved would have had. In addition to this it stimulates eco-businesses, creates awareness and helps to build the demand for local hemp production which is the ultimate goal. In particular because hemp requires much less water, no chemicals and pesticides as well as it provides a greater amount of fibres than cotton. We believe, that hemp is one of the materials of the future and our clothing would not exist if it was not for the passion and dedication from our suppliers who are thinking the same way.

We are proud of the cooperations with our suppliers, who are taking environmental and social responsibility very serious. For example, the suppliers of the hemp and organic cotton blend have implemented clean solar powered energy across all of their offices and factories, using only EU approved dyes and chemicals in their dyeing and finishing as well as they carefully monitoring and controlling waste water. Furthermore, they strive to obtain certifications for their products and working conditions. They were one of the first members of the Fair Wear Foundation. Also they established a foundation, which aims to help those who have been affected with physical disabilities be able to afford their medical bills and everyday lives.

Manufacturing

Our clothes are designed and manufactured in Hamburg and Barcelos. In order to not overproduce the collections are kept rather small to only manufacture as much as desired. Also we aim to create products with simplicity in mind and the Zero Waste Design Thinking. During the pattern construction for our clothes we try to eliminate as much waste as possible by utilising every part of the fabric and transforming left overs into something different and new rather than throwing it away. This includes our introduction of scrunchies.
