Frequently Asked Questions

Sustainability

To create our bikinis, swimsuits and leggings we use a fabric, that is made of 78% recycled polyamide. During the manufacturing process special elastane fibers are woven though and increase the stretchability of the textiles. Our Sweaters are made of 100% GOTS-certified organic Cotton. The tie-dye look is printed in a digital printing process.

It is important to us as an employer, that every person helping to create our products, receives a proper salary and works under fair conditions. We support flexible working hours for care workers and team members which are still studying. Also we encourage ouremployees to develop theirs strengths and potentials.

We pay attention to lower the pollution of our planet: Starting with the fabrics we use, to the packaging material in which our products are being shipped, up to proper waste separation in our office. As a company we have the vision to cultivatea less destructive behavior towards the human as well as non human nature.Also we decided for suppliers, that are close to our Studio.

Our products are designed and developed in Germany, the production process takes place in Portugal. 

The recycled polyamide fabrics are made of different kinds of waste, which gets collected,cleaned and spun in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In Italy the plain colored lining is being dyed,whereas the patterns of outer fabric gets printed in the South of Germany.The fabric for our sweaters we get from the fair textil-Label Lebenskleidung. The printing process happens in Greece and is supervised by Lebenskleidung.
