A new material philosophy.
Harvested from Icelandic seas . Woven for your skin. A shirt made of a mixture of Seacell, a fibre made in Germany from seaweed and FSC certified wood cellulose , creating a remarkable textile. The minerals and active ingredients of the seaweed - often also used in beauty products - stay embedded in the fibre itself, wash after wash. This isn't just a fabric free from toxins, its a fabric giving something back.
Where responsibility meets sophistication
A refined addition to the BORGANB brand combining classic tailoring and sustainable innovation . Because choosing better materials shouldn't mean compromising on how you look.
Natural stretch
Our jersey is knitted giving it a natural stretch and drape without a trace of plastic based elasthan. Where other jerseys rely on synthetic stretch , ours moves the way the body does, naturally. Finishes with hundred percents silk yarn and wooden buttons.
Finding the right equally eco- and start-up friendly suppliers was not easy during the Corona lockdowns. We are happy to have found equally responsible and ethical minded companies for the manufacturing of our products and for the materials.
A zero waste and circular product design approach were important factors when we started transforming the material into a product. We would like the bags to be used for a long time. The design lets the material "speak" and uses clear and classic lines. We offer repair services and second hand sale through our website.
Born by the desire to produce high quality fashion without any plastic, BORGANB went through a lenghty research process to identify new innovative, eco friendly and plasticfree materials. Some challenges were faced, for example with non -polyester yarn for leather products. All our bags are sorn with silk yarn.
Packaging
Order online and you will receive your BORGANB bag is a beautiful ocean blue box, wrapped in compostable silk paper. The product tags are made with compostable and grass paper containing flower seed. Just plant them in a flower pot or in your garden. The paper is FSC certified and water based. Made in Germany.
Transparency is another equally important pillar in our work. We would like to empower the consumer to take an informed decision about what she or he would like to cover her or his body with or buy as a gift for somebody else. Therefore we describe for every item what it is being made of and who made it. Since we are committed to transparency, we provide QR codes for each of our products that provide additional information. These details may include its authenticity and its material composition. We are also working with other groups on a framework to introduce this as a standard for the whole fashion industry.
