Materials
With our sustainable philosophy in mind we use a
lot of energy and research to find the best materials for our collections. Each material we use, is unique and has its own different qualities and reasons for being sustainable. All our dyeing processes are AZO-free and an increasing part of our styles are herbal dyed. Organic cotton Organic cotton is characterized by a production process without the use of pesticides, synthetic growth regulators and genetically modified seeds. Also, a natural rotation of crops in the fields is often employed. This way a more fertile soil is retained which gives higher yields and more resistant plants. Bamboo Bamboo is sustainable because the material has a good absorption capacity and is grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Farmed bamboo stabilizes the earth with its roots, preventing erosion. It takes in greenhouse gasses and produces oxygen. In fact 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. Next to that bamboo is also stronger than cotton and have almost the same feel as silk. Soy Soy is an environmentally friendly fabric because of the small portion of water used during production, a high absorption capacity and low pollution. Moreover, soy has good ventilation capabilities and retains the heat better than silk. The fabric feel is also very soft and comparable to cashmere. |
