We believe collaboration is the key ingredient to create the best products. We carefully select who we partner with based on our core values: honesty, know-how and vision. We recognize that our magic is only possible thanks to our trusted fiber and technology partners.
Fibre partners
We trust the source of organic cotton coming from Remei AG, who guarantees supply chain transparency from seed to us.
Their organic cotton is sown and harvested manually and without any use of genetic engineering or chemical or synthetic pesticides. Instead, the farmers use beneficial animals and natural pesticides such as an extract of neem trees. In order to preserve soil fertility and biodiversity, and to prevent soil erosion, Remei’s organic cotton is grown in crop rotation.
The fibers technologies we use include: Tanzania organic.

A fiber company with over 60 years experience, Trevira provides us with high-value polymer fibres. Our go-to places for our premium sustainable alternative to petroleum-based fibres, made with PLA.
The fibers & technologies we use include:
- Trevira T400 PLA Ingeo™: PLA (polylactic acid) biopolymers – a biodegradable cereal-based (generally using maize) fiber range, a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based fibres
- Trevira T140 Bioactive: For a plus in cleanliness and freshness. Trevira Bioactive fibres contain an antimicrobial additive, which is active in / on the fibre inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It has no effect on the skin flora.
- Trevira T350 Low Pill: As a result of the polymer modification, fabrics containing Trevira 350 take on a softer handle. The low-pill properties make it possible to manufacture yarns that are softer and fabrics that are lighter. At the finishing stage there is no requirement for additional measures to avoid pilling.
