certificates

"We emphasize sustainability in every respect and only collaborate with manufacturers who are certified according to the strictest environmental and ethical standards, and who can provide these certificates with current validity at the time of production. Likewise, only certified inks are used for the prints applied to our textiles."

These certificates include:

Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS): GOTS is the world's leading textile processing standard for organic fibers. As an independent non-profit organization, it incorporates ecological and social criteria in the production of textiles. The entire textile supply chain is subject to an independent and transparent certification process.
"We apply this standard to non-European manufacturers to ensure not only environmentally friendly but also ethical production."
"Some European manufacturers also have this certificate."

"Our European manufacturers comply with this standard. The social and environmental aspects of production are ensured here by European laws."
