We reuse surplus materials to minimize waste and create unique, limited edition pieces.
OEKO-TEX certified fabrics:
Our cotton collections (95% and 100%) are made from OEKO-TEX certified materials, which guarantees that they do not contain harmful substances.
Ethical Production:
We prioritize ethical production practices, we collaborate with small factories and workshops in Romania, supporting local artisans and fair labor standards.
Deadstock Premium Polyamide
Premium polyamide combines impressive strength with a silky touch, while maintaining exceptional durability.
Deadstock materials are new, unused materials that would otherwise have remained as surplus at manufacturers or suppliers, unused. By using these materials, we not only achieve premium quality, but also contribute to a more sustainable way of making fashion.
Due to its technical properties, premium polyamide is excellent for underwear and sportswear. Quick moisture absorption makes you feel comfortable all day long, and natural elasticity ensures an ideal fit that adapts to body movements.
Often these deadstock materials benefit from special finishes and treatments – from ultra-fine textures and finishes to unique colors. Each batch of deadstock textiles tells its own story through limited editions, as these materials may never be available again in the same shape or color.
GOTS & Oeko-Tex Certified Organic Cotton
GOTS certifications ensure that every stage of production—from tending cotton fields without the use of harsh chemicals to how workers are treated—meets the highest environmental and social criteria. It is more than just a sign of quality; it’s a promise that the material you wear was produced responsibly towards the planet and the communities involved.
On the other hand, OEKO-TEX certified organic cotton with 5% elastane adds a modern and functional touch to this sustainable narrative. With the OEKO-TEX label, you can trust that every fiber has been rigorously tested to be free of harmful substances, making it safe for your skin and friendly to the environment. The 5% elastane provides just the right amount of stretch, ensuring comfort and durability without compromising the natural feel of organic cotton.
Merino Wool
Merino wool is a very fine fiber – less than 19.5 microns in diameter – making it softer and more delicate than traditional wool, while retaining exceptional durability.
Merino wool has a unique structure that creates small air pockets, allowing it to regulate temperature admirably – keeping you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot. At the same time, it can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet, while simultaneously wicking that moisture away from the skin.
Unlike synthetic materials, merino wool contains natural lanolin, which makes it naturally anti-bacterial and odor-resistant – meaning you can wear it multiple times between washes without unwanted odors. It’s also remarkably easy to care for, naturally resisting wrinkles and retaining its shape wash after wash. This sustainable fiber completely biodegrades in the soil, returning valuable nutrients to the earth, making it an environmentally conscious choice for those who value both luxury and responsibility.
78% Recycled Polyamide
Recycled polyamide is a sustainable fabric derived from post-consumer waste such as discarded fishing nets and plastic bottles. By reusing these materials, we reduce our dependence on petroleum-based resources and minimize our impact on the environment.
The fabric we use in the production of swimwear is premium, with an increased density, a slightly matte finish and very good resistance over time. This fabric offers several advantages for swimwear. It is highly durable, resistant to chlorine and salt water, while offering excellent elasticity and high shape retention.
Choosing a swimsuit made from 78% recycled polyamide is a conscious decision that supports sustainable fashion. By opting for this material, you contribute to a healthier planet and encourage the development of innovative and sustainable textile solutions.
100% Pointelle Cotton
Pointelle cotton is a type of fabric known for its delicate, lacy appearance. It is created through a knitting technique that produces patterns with small perforations in the fabric. This not only adds a visual accent but also improves breathability, making it an ideal choice for loungewear and sleepwear.
Oeko-Tex certification ensures that the fabric has been tested for harmful substances and meets strict environmental and safety standards. This certification ensures that the product does not contain chemicals that could irritate the skin or harm the environment.
Cotton pointelle loungewear and sleepwear offer a perfect blend of comfort and style. The soft and breathable fabric feels very nice on the skin, while the pointelle pattern adds a delicate touch.
