Not 100 percent! Some of our hats and many warm garments in the collection are made of wool. In general, we try to avoid animal ingredients. If you want to be on the safe side, you can read the exact composition in each product description. All leather patches that you find on our clothing are made of artificial leather and are therefore also vegan.

Unfortunately, sustainability is a word that is used far too often and inaccurately. For us, it goes without saying that we treat people and the environment fairly. What we do is what we call “common sense business”.

Our materials are carefully selected, from the fiber to the dye used. We focus in particular on natural and ecologically efficient fibers such as Lyocell (TENCEL™) or Modal (TENCEL™) from Austria. Modern production facilities enable us to further reduce water consumption and the use of chemicals.

In addition, short distances are very important to us. A large proportion of the materials used come from Turkey itself or from Europe. This protects both the environment and our nerves. As we take care of production in Turkey ourselves, we are also very flexible. Our seamstresses, launderers, printers and dyers etc. are quickly on site. Of course, we can’t look over everyone’s shoulder, but we choose our suppliers and producers very carefully.

Due to the difficulty of traceability, we do not use cotton that is certified as “organic”. The supply of this type of cotton is far greater than the actual global production. The many organic certificates and seals do nothing to change this. As long as we cannot say with a clear conscience that our cotton fabrics are really 100% organic, we leave them alone. Nevertheless, we are striving to take the step towards certified organic cotton, as the production of conventional cotton requires an enormous amount of chemicals. So far, we have been using Lyocell (TENCEL™) or Modal (TENCEL™) in many of our products in combination with proven high-quality cotton from trusted traders.
