MATERIAL SELECTIONS

OUR SELECTION OF MATERIALS FOR BRAND COLLABORATIONS IS CRUCIAL. WE CAREFULLY ASSESS SUSTAINABLE AND ETHICAL RAW MATERIAL OPTIONS, STRIVING FOR PERFECTION IN OUR PRODUCTION PROCESS.

ORGANIC COTTON, PRODUCED ECO-FRIENDLY FROM SEED TO HARVEST WITHOUT HARMFUL PESTICIDES, IS A KEY MATERIAL FOR US.
