UNSERE MATERIALIEN
Clothing made from select materials
Behind every piece of clothing are carefully selected materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and the people who bring it to life. We’d love to show you what our clothing is made of, what makes these materials special, and what we look for when selecting them.
Organic cotton (GOTS)
Cotton is one of the materials we work with most frequently. Whenever possible, we choose GOTS-certified organic cotton. The GOTS standard sets requirements for cultivation, among other things, and prohibits the use of certain pesticides, insecticides, defoliants, and genetically modified seeds. Most of our organic cotton comes from India and Turkey.
TENCEL™ Lyocell
TENCEL™ Lyocell is a regenerated cellulose fiber made from wood. The wood pulp is dissolved and then regenerated into fibers. The result is a soft, smooth, and durable fiber that feels pleasantly dry against the skin and has a subtle sheen. TENCEL™ Lyocell is produced in a closed-loop manufacturing process: More than 99.8% of the solvent used is recovered and reused. According to Lenzing, the wood used for the fiber comes from controlled or certified sources.

Recycled cotton
Aus Alt mach Neu: Bei der Stofffertigung entstehen regelmäßig Überschüsse. Anstatt diese wie gewöhnlich zu entsorgen, werden die Stoffreste der Baumwolle in einem aufwendigen Verfahren bei unserem Lieferanten in Italien zerkleinert und zu einem neuen Garn gesponnen. So können Stoffreste zu neuem Material werden.
Linen
Linen is made from the bast fibers of the common flax plant, also known as flax. This plant, which is native to Europe, is very hardy and requires neither pesticides nor fertilizers. Linen clothing is durable, gentle on the skin, and, above all, has excellent moisture-regulating properties.
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose is made exclusively from certified wood sources. The manufacturing process for these fibers meets the highest environmental standards and, compared to conventional viscose, reduces energy use and water consumption by up to 50%. A “man-made” fiber that is incredibly soft and completely biodegradable. For a sustainable lifestyle and a clean environment.
Organic wool (GOTS KbT)
To be eligible for GOTS certification, at least 70% of the fiber content must come from certified organic production. For our “organic wool,” the requirement is as high as 95%. Furthermore, the production and animal husbandry involved in producing this wool must be certified according to national and international organic standards. This also means that the animals producing these fibers must be raised without causing them distress, and “mulesing” must not be used in their breeding. As a result, our organic wool keeps you comfortably warm and contributes to a sense of well-being.
Recycled wool (GRS)
Wool is a natural fiber with unique properties: It is warm, soft, and retains its shape well, making it particularly suitable for fall and winter clothing. For select products, we use recycled wool that is GRS-certified. In this process, existing wool fibers are reprocessed and used to produce new yarns and textiles. This allows existing material to be reused. The GRS standard defines requirements for the use of recycled materials as well as additional environmental and social criteria within the scope of the respective certification.
