Natural materials with character – from source to finished product

Some materials stand out for their properties. Organic cotton, denim, muslin, cashmere and wool each offer different qualities – from breathable comfort to cosy warmth. At the same time, we ensure transparency throughout our supply chains and work to clearly defined standards when selecting and processing materials.

Organic cotton: This is how we do things differently.

We use only organic cotton, sourced from Greece amongst other places, in the production of our cotton knitwear. In doing so, we are pursuing two objectives: to promote the cultivation of organic cotton within the EU, as this has been virtually non-existent to date; and, in the long term, to establish a complete local production chain in Greece – from the cotton field to the finished product.

  • Skin-friendly and breathable

  • Easy to care for and durable

  • Renewable raw material

Organic denim: We do things differently.

We use organic cotton for our denim and employ processes that minimise the use of certain chemicals. For example, we do not use sandblasting or chlorine bleaching. At the same time, we work with laundries that reuse treated water in their processes.

  • Made from organic cotton

  • Working with laundries that reuse water in their processes

  • No sandblasting or chlorine bleaching

Nature Fleece
We do things differently.

Very few people realise that many fleece products are made from synthetic fibres, which can release microplastics when washed. Our fleece is made from pure natural fibres such as organic cotton and organic virgin wool. A combination of materials that feels soft, keeps you comfortably warm and contains no synthetic fibres.

  • Breathable

  • Keeps you warm without overheating

  • Pure natural fibers

Linen: We do things differently.

Whether made from 100% linen or in selected blends with a subtle sheen, linen impresses with its characteristic texture and a pleasantly cool feel against the skin. A quality that is particularly appreciated on warm days.

  • Feels fresh and cool

  • breathable and airy

  • Elegant, relaxed look

Muslin: We do things differently.

Our organic muslin is more versatile than ever this season: made from 100% organic cotton and GOTS-certified, our muslin, with its characteristic crinkled texture, is particularly light and comfortable against the skin.

  • particularly soft and gentle on the skin

  • Breathable and airy

  • Quick-drying

Alpaca: We do things differently.

Supporting alpaca breeding in the South American Andes has been a cause close to our hearts for over 25 years. There, the rare, fine fleece of the alpacas – which live at altitudes of up to 4,700 metres – is sorted by hand according to fineness and colour. Thanks to its fineness, it is also suitable for people with wool sensitivities. For particularly cosy knitted favourites that feel extra light against the skin.

  • Soft, flowing drape

  • Elegant look

  • Pleasantly light to wear

Cashmere: We do things differently.

Our product information sheet explains where the rare cashmere fibres come from and how they are processed. This fine, luxurious fibre gives the material its characteristic lightness and cosy warmth. For knitted garments with a understated look and exceptional comfort.

  • a luxurious feel

  • exceptionally fine fibre quality

  • warm, light and breathable

Rhön wool: We do things differently.

Our Rhön wool is a German success story. Since 1997, we have been processing wool from Rhön sheep from the Rhön Biosphere Reserve. Together with our partners, we prefer to use this precious heritage material undyed and as close to its natural state as possible. For favourite pieces that provide reliable warmth with striking details.

  • Particularly robust and hard-wearing

  • authentic and breathable

  • Water-repellent

Virgin wool: We do things differently.

We use only virgin wool from live sheep. Where possible, it comes from certified organic livestock farming. One of our finest knitted fabrics, ideal for anyone who loves the wonderful warmth of wool.

  • warm and breathable

  • does not absorb odours as quickly

  • easy to care for: regains its shape when aired overnight

TENCEL™ Modal
We do things differently.

In our collection, we use TENCEL™ Modal from Lenzing. This flowing fabric is derived from the natural raw material wood and can absorb moisture. This helps it feel comfortable against the skin.

  • soft and supple against the skin

  • elegant, silk-matt finish

  • pleasantly cooling
