DESIGN, FABRICS & MATERIALS
Responsible materials
Since 2020 we have been focusing on the exclusive use of natural fibers.
In some cases the use of synthetic materials exceeded our set goals this year, which is partly due to the use of deadstock materials with these compositions and in some cases due to superior longevity of the garments due to these compositions. We recognize a need for further improvement in the coming year.
Our collections, in general, result from utilizing 95% natural fibers.
Our collections of 2023 were made up of the following fabric compositions:
Pure Natural fibres:
- Cotton
- Organic Cotton
- Viscose Ecovero
- Virgin Wool
Mixed Natural fibres:
- Viscose / Cotton
- Cotton / Modal
- Cotton / Cupro / Modal
- Virgin Wool / Cashmere
- Cotton / Silk
Natural with synthetic:
- Cotton/ Elastane (*2%)
- Viscose/ Virgin Wool/ Elastane (*5%)
- Mohair / Wool / Nylon
- Cupro / Lino / Cotton
- Lyocell / Cotton
- Lyocell / Wool
* The inclusion of a small percentage of synthetic material is often done to enhance the elasticity of a fabric or product.
