Designer's Statement
Gökay Gündogdu
I wanted to create a garment that would still make any basic outfit underneath a head-turner. Here it is!
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.
This bolero was designed in combination with our trousers Selene.
