Innovative, Organic & Recycled Fabrics
Our collections use only the highest quality organic and sustainable fabrics such as GOTS certified organic cotton, Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified materials, and responsibly sourced wool that respects animal welfare. Every fabric meets strict environmental and social criteria, ensuring eco-friendly production from farm to finished garment.
Fair Labor & Ethical Manufacturing
We carefully select manufacturing partners committed to fair labor practices in line with OECD Guidelines and the ILO’s Core Conventions. Our garments are produced mainly in Europe, including Portugal and Turkey, with some artisanal production in China under strict fair work conditions.
