Materials & Manufacturing
Made in Germany & EU
We are determined to make products that make a positive impact - not just the end users and the environment, but also on the quality of life of the workers who made them.
Just as important as the materials are the hands that make our products. We work closely with small companies in Germany, Spain and Portugal who are experts in their field.
All textiles are made in Italy and Portugal,and our leather wallets in Spain and Berlin.
Our signature leather straps are made in a factory in north-west Germany that employs people with disabilities.
All of our workshops stand for transparency and fair working conditions. We visit each company regularly and develop a close personal relationship with each one. This involvement in the manufacture of our products ensures integrity at every stage of the process.
RECYCLED LEATHER
We only use leftover leather and natural materials and work with local manufacturers. This helps us run an Eco-friendly business with minimal waste and less impact on our surroundings.
REGENERATED YARN
This yarn is spun from leftovers of new clothing rests. The fiber, mainly cotton, is refined into yarn. A small quantity of "sliver fiber" (acrylic, polyester, viscose) is spun into the yarn to add strength, durability and elasticity to create a beautiful, soft new yarn.
The yarns are then dyed to create new colors.
All GILLIO, CANNOLI and ALBA collections are knitted from regenerated (recycled) yarn.
100% COTTON
Because we prefer to work with natural materials, the main component of our fabrics is cotton, which is breathable, durable, warm and easy to handle.
The elegant SUIT collection is woven from 100% cotton yarn.
Social responsibility:
At the heart of our production is a strong sense of social responsibility. Our distinctive upcycled leather straps are produced by a non-profit organization that supports people with disabilities.
