Designer's Statement
Murat Aytulum
I love working with linen because the material is high quality, sustainable and adds a light and airy style to any elegant outfit.
Material
Thanks to the ecological summer fibre, you can wear nature directly on your skin – it doesn’t get much more natural than that. This garment is made from 100% organic linen. Organic linen is good and healthy for your skin because no fertilisers or toxic pesticides are used in the cultivation process and therefore no toxic substances come into contact with your body. Many studies have shown that clothing containing harmful substances can make you ill. It is therefore all the more important that your skin only touches natural, pesticide-free fabrics.
Organic linen is not only healthy for you, but also good for the soil, the groundwater and the people who pick it, as they don’t come into contact with toxic pesticides either. Moreover, the cultivation of organic linen is very resource-friendly: linen requires less land, water and energy than man-made fibres like polyester.
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.
