Good working conditions, fair pay and a respectful workplace are requirements for every partner.

II · Materials

Natural fibres. Considered blends.

We work mainly with long-staple organic cotton and other natural fibres from European mills, selected for feel and comfort.

Where a blend is needed for durability, we use certified recycled or technical fibres.

The exact composition and origin of each piece is listed on its product page.

III · Construction

From fabric to finished garment.

Seams, stitches and finishes are chosen for the way each garment is used and washed.

    Each roll is checked for feel, weight and quality before cutting.

    Patterns and cut pieces are checked for line, grain and proportion.
