Which materials are sustainable?
The ever-increasing interest in sustainable fashion is not only good for the environment, but also for our skin. Natural materials such as linen, hemp, organic cotton, etc. are particularly good at being breathable. This means that items of clothing made from natural fibers are significantly less susceptible to unsightly sweat stains than synthetic fibers.

Natural dyes
Mineral Dye
Nature Colours and Mineral Dye are sustainable dyeing processes using dyes from nature. For Mineral Dye, natural colour pigments are extracted from minerals such as sand, flint or red ochre. But dyes from plants such as lavender, olive, walnut or even pomegranate can also be used for natural dyeing. These are not grown specifically, but are obtained as a by-product of the food industry. The dyes create slightly washed-out effects that make each piece of clothing unique.
