CLOTHING:
We source our fabrics (for cut-and-saw pieces) and yarns (for knitted pieces) in Europe.
We pay attention to the fabrics' technical properties (e.g. color-fastness, pilling level, etc.) which must be disclosed by European mills.
When sewing or knitting the garments, we work exclusively with production partners based in Europe as well. This way we ensure a fair payment of the garment workers, clear communication, short lead times and European safety standards.
The resulting garments cost more to produce and would cost more in retail if we sold through stores. But since we sell directly (online), we can afford to keep the prices lower, for a level of quality similar to other designer brands that would charge higher prices.
JEWELRY:
We use exclusively recycled silver and recycled gold.
The silver is 925 Sterling silver.
If a piece is gold-plated on top of the solid silver, we do it with 24K gold, which is "pure" gold and not vermeil.
The ateliers making the jewelry are based in Germany, which ensures high quality and fair payment for the goldsmiths.
