My full transparency
My added value
I only cover 2,401 kilometers from the cotton field to the finished printed hoodie.
The journey of a standard hoodie is between 18,000 and 34,000 kilometers.
It is important to me that all partners who have taken care of my manufacture come from Europe. There's a lot of Switzerland in me, you can find out more about it in the “Swissness” section.
My price transparency
A price is always relative. The fact is that huge margins are charged on textiles, usually 3 to 7 times the production costs.
I'm not a mass-produced product and I'm usually made to order especially for you, because I don't want to be part of a discount battle.
My margin is slim and is used to pay rent, product development and salaries.
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.
my care

- To dry you pull me into shape and hang me up
- If you iron me, please do so inside out and at a medium temperature, 150°C

My travel
cotton field
We source the cotton, Supreme Green Cotton®, from 45 Greek family farms in the Larisa region, who grow it in a respectful manner.
She is of carefully selected and controlled, not
genetically modified cotton seed.
Irrigation is carried out exclusively via a drip irrigation system, resulting in a 40% discount
leads to water consumption.
The cultivation is supervised by the most modern technological equipment and a selected team of experienced agronomists.
ginning
After the Supreme Green Cotton® cotton is harvested, it travels just 15 kilometers to be ginning at the Karagiorgos Ginning Mill.
At Karagiorgos, the Supreme Green Cotton® cotton is stored separately and is therefore fully traceable.
During ginning, part of the energy consumption (25%) is covered by renewable sources. By-products like the cotton cake and cotton oil that enter the food chain are also non-GMO.
spinning
After another journey of 180 kilometers, the Supreme Green Cotton® bales reach the Varvaressos spinning mill.
This is where the magic happens. The Supreme Green Cotton® yarn is spun from the approx. 200 kg bales of long-staple cotton.
For the spinning process, energy is used from renewable sources
Sources are used and the rainwater is also reused.
Energy savings are achieved by installing harmonic filters, optimizing the compressed air system and replacing fluorescent lamps. The use of a heating circuit system saves around 20,000 liters of fuel annually.
knitting
The Supreme Green Cotton® yarn cones arrive at the Handel + Diller knitting mill in Germany after 1,905 kilometers.
The specialists from Balingen use it to knit our super comfortable and slightly roughened lining material.
dyeing
It is 138 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.
