Eugen


About

Eugene is American grown fiber hemp (zero residual THC or other psycho-active chemicals), woven in the US.


Eco Facts

The American mill that wove Eugene, like most American mills, rejected the idea of getting certified by Oeko-Tex (They could not qualify for GOTS). Sadly, this decision follows a trend in the USA where producers insist that just being produced in the US is the equivalent of being Oeko-Tex 100 certified. This belief is very far from the truth. For just a few of the many many chemicals used in textile production which also REMAIN in the fabrics, a look at just a few of them and how the US government and Oeko-Tex 100 certification stack up reveals:

Warum uns wählen?

Wir haben die Arbeit für Sie erledigt

Im Laufe der Jahre haben Patty und Leigh Anne jede Menge Zeit damit verbracht, ethische und nachhaltige Produktion zu erforschen – wie sie funktioniert und welche Auswirkungen sie auf uns (und alle Lebewesen) und unseren Planeten hat. Sie haben es sogar in ihr Leitbild aufgenommen, das Ziel, „die Art und Weise zu ändern, wie Textilien hergestellt werden“ – ein ziemliches Unterfangen für so ein aufstrebendes kleines Unternehmen, oder?
