Materials, Production & Certifications
Here you can read about which materials we use, where we produce, and which certifications our products are covered by.
Responsibility at Klitmøller Collective
We design clothing to be worn, not thrown away. That places demands on the materials and on those we produce with.
We work with GOTS and OCS certified cotton, mulesing-free wool and TENCEL™ Lyocell from Lenzing. The certifications apply to selected styles and are checked by an independent third party — you can see which further down the page.
Our principles
We have a Code of Conduct that all our suppliers sign. It sets the framework for working conditions, ethics and animal welfare in our partnerships.
Our Code of Conduct prohibits child labour, forced labour and discrimination, and requires safe working conditions. All suppliers sign it.
We know our suppliers and visit them regularly. Several of the partnerships have lasted more than ten years.
Mulesing-free wool is a requirement in our agreements with wool suppliers. It applies to all wool in our products.
Our certifications are checked by an independent third party at every stage of production.
Materials & production
We work primarily with wool, organic cotton, lyocell and linen. The cuts are classic and stay in production across several seasons, so a style can be bought again once the previous one is worn out.
Wool regulates temperature and keeps you warm even when damp. Our wool is mulesing-free or recycled.
Organic cotton is grown without pesticides and artificial fertiliser. A large part of our cotton is GOTS or OCS certified.
Made from wood cellulose in a closed loop, where over 99% of the solvents are recycled. Produced by Lenzing AG.
Strong and absorbent — linen dries faster than cotton and is comfortable in warm weather.
All wool in our products is free from mulesing — a practice where skin is removed from the sheep's hindquarters to prevent parasites. It is not a certificate we hold, but a requirement we set for all our wool suppliers.
Where we produce
We produce in Europe and Asia. All suppliers sign our Code of Conduct, and we visit them regularly.
Production requirements
GOTS sets requirements for chemicals, wastewater and waste management in production. The requirements are checked by an independent third party.
Our suppliers sign our Code of Conduct. GOTS also sets its own independent requirements for working conditions.
Every year we organise a beach clean-up in Klitmøller and support organisations working for the marine environment.
