Fair trade clothing:

Fair trade clothing should be produced ecologically and thus sustainable materials such as organic cotton or Tencel should be used and processed in an environmentally friendly manner. Pay attention to the GOTS, which guarantees strict standards such as the prohibition of genetic engineering or of pesticides and other toxic chemicals.

The second very important aspect is that there are people behind the manufacture of the fabrics, dyeing, cutting and delivery. From cotton farmers, textile processing, dealers, delivery (as short as possible and also environmentally friendly transport routes) and shop sellers. It is therefore important to ensure that the production and supply chain is unbroken, where people are not exploited or even where child labor is used. Cotton in particular is the most frequently used textile fiber in the world. It is also called "white gold" because it is used to generate huge profits. However, this mainly happens at the expense of people and nature. The fertilizers and pesticides used in the cultivation of cotton make workers in the cotton fields sick, the enormous water requirement for irrigating the plants almost makes huge lakes disappear and because nature is a cycle, sooner or later many pollutants end up with us humans and ours again Environment. So, especially with textile fibers, you have to make sure that organic cotton is used.

Sustainability?

Sometimes fashion takes time. Designs made from sustainable natural materials are made to provide long-term pleasure. In order not to deprive the earth's ecosystem of unnecessary resources, one should only produce as much as the amount of clothing that is pre-ordered from retailers. Fashion with consideration for people, animals and the environment. Let us work together to give fashion back the value it deserves, so that we can all show the appreciation it deserves.

This is fundamentally through environmentally friendly production of the textiles, ie resource-saving and sustainable. Through fair treatment of people and animals through the use of, for example, organic wool or alpaca; No angora plucking, no mulesing and with the exclusion of environmentally harmful chemicals such as chlorine, chromium VI or potassium permanganate as well as petroleum-based raw materials (acrylic, polyester, polyamides, polyurethane).
