High-Quality Materials & Eco-Friendly Production

We meticulously select our materials, focusing on lasting quality:

  • 100% Organic Cotton: Most of our products are made from pure organic cotton.
  • OEKO-TEX Standard 100: Some products, like our T-shirts, are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, reducing environmental impact.
  • GOTS-Certified Supply Chain: We primarily use a GOTS-certified supply chain in Portugal, where 85% of chemicals used meet strict environmental and health standards.
  • Reduced Water & Chemical Use: Our main suppliers have reduced water usage by 75% and operate without hazardous chemicals, minimizing environmental impact.
Our Production Philosophy - Europe in Focus

We place the highest value on transparent and ethical production and prioritize European manufacturing:

  • Design & Production in Europe: Our designs are created in-house, and most products are produced in Portugal, Italy, and Germany, ensuring full traceability and reduced environmental impact.
  • Strict Standards: All our partners follow European labour and human rights standards, ensuring fair treatment and good working conditions.
  • Europe-First: We prioritise European manufacturing for fair production and high-quality products.
  • Exceptions: For some items, like caps, we source materials from trusted regions outside of Europe and finish them in Germany, ensuring ethical practices and top-quality craftsmanship.
Sustainable Packaging
  • We use cardboard and paper packaging that can be easily reused and recycled.
  • Our packaging is designed to be minimalist and nearly plastic-free, reducing waste and conserving resources.
Colour & Care
  • Colour Variations: Slight colour differences may occur between product images and the actual item due to our use of minimal, eco-friendly dyes and chemicals.
  • Care Instructions: For longevity, please follow the individual care instructions on each product to maintain colour, fabric, and finishing quality.
