In April this year, we were nominated by Un-Dress, an organisation of the University of St. Gallen, for the Fashion Sustainability Award. This is a one-day fashion event with workshops, speakers, pop-up stores and a fashion show - in short: a platform for all designers who value sustainability. 

We are very proud of this nomination and feel confirmed that we are on the right track in terms of sustainability. We have always focused on sustainability in our products and we love to see that it has become increasingly important in the fashion industry.

Since many fashion labels still have a lot of catching up to do in terms of transparency in production, Un-Dress set strict guidelines for a nomination. In October 2019, they were therefore selected by the Financial Times as the best practical example of sustainability, ethics and social cause. Each year, Un-dress showcases the local fair trade landscape of young brands. Both the platform and the show aim to help designers communicate and present their label's relationship to sustainability more clearly. 

We believe in slow fashion and therefore also in the fact that clothes that have been worn for several years contribute a very important part to sustainability in the fashion industry. We support social commitment by working with Mexican handicraft workers and we protect the environment by using high-quality and local materials.

 The award encouraged us to look for further improvements. Therefore, we are now striving to deal with new new materials such as vegan leather. We are already working on this at full speed and look forward to being able to present new products to you very soon - We want to grow together for good!
