#I'm wearing BOTH

The Befriend the Sun shirt was part of our SS23 collection, which for the first time was entirely designed and sewn locally in the Czech Republic. Read where it comes from and how the material it is made of is processed.

Linen is made from flax fiber. The flax season begins in March when the seeds are sown, and after 100 days, usually between June and July, the harvest begins. During August, the most important part of the process begins - uncorking - and nature plays a huge role in this process. The farms where our flax is grown are in Northern France and Belgium.

After harvesting, the fiber must go through shredding and combing. Fiber quality is assessed manually. The weaving and spinning process takes place in Poland. In weaving mills that are powered by renewable green energy.

The linen fabric is then put into a machine where the shearing knives remove the last remnants and impurities. This step is essential for a perfect finish. Cutting dust is collected and recycled. It can be used to make paper or insulation. This last stage of processing takes place in Belgium. Our supplier is the Belgian company Libeco, which has been a traditional flax processor in Europe since 1858.

There are several options to extend the life of the product. In addition to gentle care, you can resell the product, exchange it with your partner or resell it.

If the product is in a condition where this is no longer possible, please recycle it. The most ideal way to do this is to cut the garment into narrow strips and take it to a local recycling center. In the case of GOTS certification, it is also possible to use your own home compost.
