SUSTAINABILITY

Three facts about fast fashion

10% of global C02 emissions = more than international aviation and shipping combined.

40% of all clothes are rarely or even never worn.

Over 90% of global garment workers cannot negotiate their hourly wage.

DURABLE LIFECYCLE

WE DESIGN LONG LASTING PIECES
WITH POSITIVE IMPACT

We are a future-oriented label that breaks new ground in terms of sustainability, design and innovation. We develop durable Swiss design with social and ecological impact. Our focus is on functionality and long wearability. We are not only concerned with the lifespan of products in the primary and secondary cycle, but think beyond their end. Circularity is not only our basis for the development of new products, it also serves as a core idea in the revision of existing processes. In doing so, we take a local and circular approach.

For us, people take center stage. That's why our collections bear the names of their producers. With this personal closeness and transparency, we want to encourage people to shop more thoughtfully. In this way, we want to make our personal contribution to the deceleration of mass consumption and set an example for more humanity.

SOCIAL IMPACT

Since 2018, our entire stock is controlled, stored, processed, shipped, returned and entered by people in a protected work environment of the Züriwerk Foundation. With every purchase you support and create protected Swiss workspace.

TRANSPARENCY & LOCAL PRODUCTION

We produce only in Europe.

We also procure the materials mainly and whenever possible from European production. We calculate for our sphere of activity from yarn and pay attention to the shortest possible transport route, whereby we do without air transport. The origin of the raw materials is shown in the product details. The sewing thread is also sourced outside of Europe.
