Straight leg colour block cropped jeans in dark blue and black

A sustainable business model 

Our aim is to build a sustainable business which all starts with our concept of producing on demand. We are also aiming to be transparent about the way the product is produced and where the fabrics come from. 

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The Fabric:

• The fabric is Italian over-produced denim. With over-produced fabric we mean fabric that another brand has produced but not used. The fabric is imported by Swedish cooperative Rekotex. Rekotex offers quality over produced fabrics from leading brands.With this partnership we aim to create effective circular flows, in which textile resources are taken care of in a productive and responsible way. This strategy goes hand in hand with our aim of reducing waste.
• Additionally, the denim is organic cotton and has a GOTS certificate, see explanation below.

Certificates:

1. GOTS: The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a certification that limits the use of dyes, toxic bleaches and chemical inputs during the production process of textiles as well as the growth of the fibre.
2. OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100: Certificate that ensures that every component of the product, including thread, textile and buttons, has been tested for harmful substances.

The trims:

• The metal zippers are sourced from Italian UNIZIP
• The metal buttons are sourced from Swedish Etikettkompaniet and produced in China
• The metal plate at the back is made by Greek Karasinetlis

Production:

• These jeans are crafted by our skilled seamstresses in our atelier in Lithuania. We have visited the atelier numerous time and a great collaboration. The employees work in very good conditions and get a decent salary.
