Logocomo

The coll­ec­tion is desi­gned and pro­du­ced in Logo­co­mo’s own stu­dio, in Rot­ter­dam. In busy peri­ods, Logo­co­mo gets help from vol­un­teers from the Clot­hing Bank to assist with pro­duc­tion. This way, you can be sure that your purcha­se is made local­ly, in ethi­cal working con­di­ti­ons and arri­ves on time. 

Logo­co­mo col­la­bo­ra­tes with the Clot­hing Bank in seve­ral ways, by the way. The peo­p­le who model for the pho­to shoots work as vol­un­teers at the Clot­hing Bank. Logo­co­mo also col­la­bo­ra­tes with the Clot­hing Bank to give clo­thes that can­not be sold a second life.

Logo­co­mo uses almost sole­ly recy­cled mate­ri­als in their coll­ec­tions. The Clot­hing Bank coll­ec­tion con­sists of designs made from sur­plu­s­es from the Clot­hing Bank. The­se sur­plu­s­es are garm­ents that can­not be sold becau­se they are dama­ged or out­da­ted. In addi­ti­on, Logo­co­mo also uses dead­stock mate­ri­als. Dead­stock are stock sur­plu­s­es crea­ted by over­pro­duc­tion or bank­rupt­ci­es of fashion and tex­ti­le com­pa­nies. Logo­co­mo gives the­se fabric sur­plu­s­es a new life.

The Phan­tom Pain and Dan­ny X coll­ec­tions are col­la­bo­ra­ti­ons with Stu­dio Kling. The­se coll­ec­tions are made from Ten­cel vis­co­se and recy­cled poly­es­ter. The­se are both sus­tainable mate­ri­als; Ten­cel is a vis­co­se made by Lenzing. This com­pa­ny deve­lo­ped a clo­sed-loop pro­duc­tion sys­tem whe­re no che­mi­cals are released into the envi­ron­ment. Lenzing also gua­ran­tees that the wood pulp comes from sus­tainable forestry.

The recy­cled poly­es­ter is made from used Pet bot­t­les. The mate­ri­al is GRS-cer­ti­fied (Glo­bal Recy­cled Stan­dard), this shows that at least 20% of the mate­ri­al is recy­cled. Unfort­u­na­te­ly, recy­cled poly­es­ter is still a syn­the­tic mate­ri­al. Syn­the­tic mate­ri­als shed micro­pla­s­tics during washing. This is why Logo­co­mo recom­mends always using a Gup­py­Fri­end. This is a laun­dry bag that coll­ects microplastics.

The mate­ri­als are prin­ted with GOTS-cer­ti­fied inks (Glo­bal Orga­nic Tex­ti­le Stan­dard). GOTS con­trols the use of che­mi­cals, thanks to this cer­ti­fi­ca­te you can be sure the clo­thes are com­ple­te­ly safe.

Logo­co­mo works in a very cir­cu­lar way. The brand main­ly uses recy­cled mate­ri­als in their pro­ducts. In this way, Logo­co­mo helps to com­bat the glo­bal tex­ti­le was­te pro­blem. For exam­p­le, one of Logo­co­mo’s reco­gnizable designs is a tail­o­red suit made from old ties.

Unfort­u­na­te­ly, Logo­co­mo’s garm­ents them­sel­ves are not always easy to recy­cle. The brand is com­mit­ted to using as many natu­ral mate­ri­als as pos­si­ble, but becau­se they work with dead­stock and old clo­thes, this is dif­fi­cult. When dif­fe­rent mate­ri­als are blen­ded tog­e­ther in a gar­ment, the clo­thes are dif­fi­cult to recy­cle after use.

Logo­co­mo has a very short pro­duc­tion chain. All mate­ri­als are sourced from Euro­pe. The brand col­la­bo­ra­tes with the Dutch Clot­hing Bank and pro­du­ces local­ly in their own work­shop in Rot­ter­dam. Moreo­ver, the clo­thes are main­ly sold in the Net­her­lands so they do not have to tra­vel long distances.

Logo­co­mo does use mate­ri­als of ani­mal ori­gin, such as wool and silk. Howe­ver, the­se mate­ri­als do not come direct­ly from the ani­mal, but from reclai­med clot­hing. This way, no ani­mal harm is nee­ded to make the Logo­co­mo pro­ducts, making the coll­ec­tion more animal-friendly.

With their uni­que and gra­phic designs, Logo­co­mo’s garm­ents are tim­e­l­ess. The colourful whirl­wind of gen­der-neu­tral jackets, trou­sers and dres­ses will add a colourful touch to your wardrobe!

Logo­co­mo always works with high-qua­li­ty mate­ri­als to give their pro­ducts a lon­ger life­span. In addi­ti­on, the brand also gives tips on how to take care of your gar­ment. With the main­ten­an­ce tips, Logo­co­mo wants to advi­se con­su­mers to take the envi­ron­ment into account. This can be done, for exam­p­le, by washing clo­thes at lower tem­pe­ra­tures or using a Gup­py­Fri­end laun­dry bag.

It is also pos­si­ble to have a gar­ment cus­to­mi­zed at Logo­co­mo. In con­sul­ta­ti­on with you, the brand will then design a uni­que gar­ment that fits perfectly!

To avo­id over­stock, Logo­co­mo works with a pre-order sys­tem for their ​“fan­toom­pi­jn” coll­ec­tion. This means that the gar­ment is only made after you have orde­red it. 

Logo­co­mo shares a lot of infor­ma­ti­on on the pro­duct page of each gar­ment. You can also read about the pro­cess in their work­shop and the col­la­bo­ra­ti­on they have with the Clot­hing Bank. For some garm­ents, you can even find the full true-cost cal­cu­la­ti­on. So you can see how long they work on a gar­ment and how much it cos­ts. This is why Logo­co­mo gets the top score for trans­pa­ren­cy from COSH!
