Designer's Statement
Gökay Gündogdu
A trench coat belongs in every wardrobe. This is my first sustainable trench coat, and thus with the asymmetrical design and eco-friendly fabric for me personally something very special.
Material
This piece is made of 100% organic cotton. Organic cotton is good and healthy for your skin, because no toxic pesticides are used in its cultivation and therefore no toxic substances touch your body. Many studies have already proven that clothing containing harmful substances can make you ill. It is therefore all the more important that only natural, pesticide-free fabrics touch your skin.
Organic cotton is not only healthy for you, but it’s also good for the soil, groundwater and the people who pick it, since they don’t come into contact with toxic pesticides either. Plus, organic cotton uses up to 91% less water than conventional cotton.
Fair Wear
We combine eco-friendly fabrics with fair production! This sustainable pieces was sewn in a small, family-run atelier in Istanbul under fair conditions. Our sewers all have insurance, a work contract and a wage that is far above the minimum wage in Turkey. If you would like to know more our producers, click here.
