Digital Product Passport: The New Era of Transparency and Traceability
- Production
We are giving 5 designers from the COSH! Community the chance to capture some outfits from their latest collection and share their vision and ideas with us during a video interview. The videographer on duty? Samuel Vansteenkiste, a top cinematographer! Curious to know who the lucky designers were and which sustainable garments they brought? We are happy to introduce them to you!
Ida & Volta
Looking for stylish and minimalist garments made from 100% natural materials? Then you must be at Ida & Volta! Also admire her luxurious and timeless pieces in Kortrijk. Models Eliza Peters, Sara Scarlet, Feli Meurisse and Louise Versavel were captured on video in the luxurious and timeless pieces and Johanna Adriaens, co-founder of Ida & Volta, told us more about the brand. Transparency, circularity and environmental friendliness are priorities at the brand, so definitely recommended!
Bamboo Belgium
Looking for a brand with a lot of love for people and the environment? Bamboo Belgium is such a brand! With sustainable bamboo they create beautiful and timeless collections.

The energy of the ladies was contagious.
RE°invented
The Belgian slow fashion brand RE°invented was also there! The unique, colorful designs of designer Anne Nagels brightened up the studio. Anne’s sustainable approach makes these garments even more unique and limited edition. Anne searches deadstock fabrics at The Fabric Sales, thrift stores and production ateliers for materials and starts designing from these materials.
HAA!
HAA! provided the youngest and cutest models of the day! The two sisters Hilke and Anke have a circular vision and join forces. Anke founded the store Bobbi Ray, where she sells hip and upcycling clothing for kids. You can also find the children’s clothing brand HAA, founded by Anke and her sister Hilke. With HAA, they make cute children’s clothes from sustainable and upcycled materials. In addition, Bobbi Ray is the place to go if you are looking for a repair and upcycling service!
Natacha Cadonici
And last but definitely not least we were lucky enough to meet Natacha Cadonici in Kortrijk together with her muse. The designer makes garments from high quality fabrics from Parisian fashion houses. Each garment can be worn in two ways: twice the wearing pleasure.
