Sustainable Fashion Made in Germany – Our Commitment at 1C1Y

At 1C1Y, sustainability is fundamental to our vision as a future-focused fashion label. We believe that businesses play a crucial role in protecting our planet’s health and future through slow fashion principles and ethical manufacturing.

Why Choose 1C1Y for Sustainable Luxury Fashion?

  • Transparent sourcing of sustainable fabrics with clear eco-certifications.
  • Ethical, fair labor practices verified by independent audits.
  • Timeless, high-quality design that reduces waste and promotes longevity.
  • Commitment to social impact through partnerships like ART HELPS, supporting children’s creative education worldwide.

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. We work exclusively with certified factories that uphold high social and environmental standards, ensuring transparency and responsibility at every step.

Slow Fashion & Timeless Design

At 1C1Y, we reject fast fashion’s disposable trends. Our slow fashion collections focus on versatile, timeless designs that transcend seasons and celebrate individuality. We design pieces meant to be long-term wardrobe staples, reflecting quiet luxury and ethical values. Learn more about our slow fashion philosophy.
