The working conditions are, of course,
also important and that is why we have
chosen Estonia and Sweden for
production. As Estonia is part of the
European Union they have very strict
regulations for employees and employers
- they are all working in good conditions.

Green This Season MAGAZINE Spring 2014

We are not perfect, but we do our best
and we learn all the time.
In the beginning we started producing in
Bali with local seamstresses during the
time when I was living there. As the
company grew we moved production
closer to home, Estonia and Sweden. I
wanted to be able to live in Sweden and
work with production facilities closer to
home.
Our collections are designed in Sweden;
patterns are made in close contact with
patternmakers also here in Sweden.
The bamboo and cotton items are made
in Estonia. They make all steps of the
production, weaving, dyeing, and sewing,
limiting unnecessary transportation.
All materials we work with are GOTS
certified and ÖKO tex 100 certified. The
cotton and cotton/elastin are GOTS
certified, the origin of the cotton is from
India. Bamboo qualities are Ökotex
certified, originating from china.
We have decided to work with Bamboo
as the growing process and effect to the
earth is less than that of cotton
production in general. Regarding the
bamboo fabric although we do not have
documentation, our agent in Germany
had confirmed verbally that they buy
yarn only from those companies who

They also have weekly
meditations together in
factory for anyone that
wants to join.
