Production
We make products in a way that is fit for the world we live in today and the future. We make products that are beautiful and sustainable. No compromises.
We take part in the production of our collection every step of the way, guaranteeing they are produced and delivered in a way we feel is responsible.
We believe that small can make a change too, which is why our collections are just the right size enticing our customers to not over-consume and throw away.
We keep it simple and within the right borders. We believe that we need to use and learn from each other's best skills and knowhow to produce clothes in the right way, with respect and love.
We are aware of the harmful impact clothes production has on our world, and our mission is to use the label as a platform to bring change, awareness, and education to these issues within the fashion industry.
We love and care about our people. Every person who is included in making our garments work happily under the right conditions. We would love to show you the people behind our products;
