My added value
From the organic cotton field in Tanzania to the finished printed T-shirt, I travel 12,606 kilometers.
It's important to me that all the partners who have worked on my manufacturing process come from Europe. There's a lot of Swiss in me; you can learn more about that in the "Swissness" section.
My price transparency
Price is always relative. The fact is that textiles carry huge margins, typically three to seven times the production costs.
I am not a mass product and I am usually made to order especially for you because I don't want to be part of a discount war.
Swissness
Creating training and jobs in Switzerland is more important to me than wearing one of the countless eco or ESG labels. By the way, there are over 450 of them worldwide.
I would much rather trust my European and Swiss manufacturing partners.

cotton field
We source our fair trade organic cotton from organic farms in Tanzania, around 1,800 small farmers.
The cotton farmers only use GMO-free seeds for cultivation.
The small farmers are involved in the organic farms in a participatory manner and have worked for Remei Tanzania Ltd. Access to coaching and training to continuously educate yourself in organic farming.
ginning
The raw cotton is separated and processed into fibers in the ginning plant at Bibiti Ginneries in Tanzania.
The final product is the pressed raw cotton bale.
spinning
After a long journey of 10,222 kilometers, the organic cotton bales reach the Tearfil spinning mill in Portugal.
This is where the magic happens. The organic cotton yarn is spun from the approximately 200 kilogram bales of long-staple cotton.
knitting
The organic cotton yarn cones arrive at the Handel + Diller knitting mill in Germany after 1,966 kilometers.
The specialists from Balingen knit our heavy yet super soft fabric from it.
dyeing
It is 144 kilometers from Balingen to Fehraltorf, Switzerland, and one of Europe's leading textile dyeing companies, E. Schellenberg Textildruck AG, is located here.
The company is a model in all respects. Starting with the production site in the middle of a residential area - which requires an ecological production method - through to wastewater treatment with one of the most modern systems in Europe.
We could continue the list at will, keywords local heating network waste heat utilization, 50% less water consumption, CO2 neutral production, Detox to Zero guidelines, but there is not enough space for that.
manufacture
168 kilometers away in Thun is the Nähwerk IDM, our partner for the manufacture of Swiss Made T-shirts, hoodies and zipper jackets.
In addition to quality and competence, the IDM sewing factory is distinguished by something else that is absolutely central to us.
The company trains around 70 young, talented and enthusiastic individuals to become clothing designers.
Embroidery and screen printing
It is 98 kilometers from Thun to Ennetbürgen and this is where the empire of Farbstoff Design GmbH is located.
Wonderful craftsmanship, precision and a trained eye ensure fantastic embroidery and screen printing every time.
