OUR SUPPLY CHAIN - WE'RE ON A GREEN MISSION
From the very beginning, we have cooperated with certified partner companies in Europe for our collections, who guarantee environmentally friendly and fair production and support our sustainable vision with their know-how in development. 85% of our collections are made in Italy, Portugal and Greece. We have worked closely with most of the manufacturers, many of them family-run, for decades and regularly visit them on site. "Made in Europe" stands for social justice and unique quality. But also: shorter delivery routes. Thanks to the proximity to our partner companies, our products are largely brought to Germany by road freight transport. This enables us to save CO2 emissions and reduce our ecological footprint.
Our fabric suppliers
We source the majority of our sustainable materials from companies with whom we have long-standing partnerships and who define internationally sustainable standards. Together with companies such as Candiani, Deveaux and Riopele, we set benchmarks in terms of sustainability.
OUR FABRIC SUPPLIERS
CANDIANI
A strong enthusiasm for denim is just one of the characteristics
that we share with the traditional weaving mill Candiani. The company from near Milan has been with us since 2006. With decades of expertise, it supplies us with its fabrics, from which 90% of our denim collections are made. It is about more than just exceptionally beautiful denim. Their environmentally friendly production method significantly reduces water consumption and almost completely avoids chemicals. All fabrics are biodegradable. This is why Candiani is considered one of the most sustainable denim weaving mills in the world.
OUR FABRIC SUPPLIERS
DEVEAUX
We have been working with Deveaux for around five years. In the French municipality of Saint-Vincent-de-Reins and the immediate vicinity, special fabrics have been woven, dyed and printed for over 200 years. This is where our popular Rich & Royal prints are created. They are used for our blouses and dresses, among other things. To guarantee the best quality and the highest level of comfort, at Deveaux we mainly use FSC-certified viscose and organic cotton in accordance with the Organic Cotton Standard.
OUR FABRIC SUPPLIERS
RIOPELE
Our specialists for high-quality and environmentally friendly yarns, which we use for blazers and trousers, are called Riopele. The company was founded in 1927 and is one of the oldest textile companies in Portugal. When manufacturing fabrics, Riopele attaches great importance to meeting all environmental standards and ensures a safe workplace for its employees. During the entire production process, the fabrics undergo careful quality control - so that they arrive perfect.
OUR PRODUCTION FACILITIES
In addition to the selection of sustainable materials, we have high standards for social and environmental
standards in our partner production plants. Essential for us: fair working conditions and processes that leave the cleanest possible footprint.
We maintain a particularly trusting relationship with our producers Bless International and Baptista Soares in Portugal. Rich & Royal collection pieces are produced here using a GOTS-certified process.
When you hold a jersey garment, dress, blouse or organic basic from us in your hands, they come either from Mercury in Greece or from our producers in Portugal, who have been supporting us with their passion and know-how for 30 years.
