It's Fashion Revolution!
The Fashion Revolution Week is just around the corner, and this year we want to give you an insight into the production process of our sustainable clothing pieces.
Our goal is to operate as a fully transparent label. To achieve this, we provide insights into our production and supply chain and introduce you to the people behind Givn Berlin.
Each of our textiles goes through a multi-stage production process, which we would like to explain to you in more detail here.
Pattern making
At the beginning, we send our designs and technical drawings to the producers, who create patterns and make prototypes from them.
From the pattern, the finished pattern pieces are then cut in production, which can be seen in the photos below.

Sewing
Once cut, the individual pieces of fabric are sewn together to form a finished garment that you will later hold in your hands.

Finshing + Distribution
After sewing, our garments are washed, ironed, packaged, and then shipped to us - as seen here at our production partners in Turkey and Portugal.

Even as Fashion Revolution Week comes to an end, our work continues to make the world a little bit better.

Givn Story #7 Digital craft with Afra Hackl
Afra Hackl, designer, founder of the jewelry label rahrah, and mother, lives and works in Kreuzkölln, where she creates sustainable 3D-printed jewelry. Her approach, which she calls "digital craft," allows her to work directly on the product, adding a personal touch often lost in mass production. We met Afra at Velt Studio, accompanied her on her daily route, and walked with her through Hasenheide to her favorite spot at Tempelhofer Feld.
