The company has developed its own golden rules to contribute to a more sustainable fashion industry:
Make sustainable products. Putting quality and design first is at the heart of sustainability. Only make clothes that will stand the test of time.
Timelessness. One impeccable wardrobe, no overhyped collections.
Made in Europe. A healthy working environment and fair wages for the people Teym works with are an absolute must and not just a nice extra.
Always a fair price. Conscious consumption should not have to be prohibitive. At Teym, you buy directly from the maker, without intermediaries who charge their own margin. A fair price for a fair product.
As part of their business model, Teym does not offer discounts on their products. By not using expensive middlemen or marketers, the company can make quality products at fair prices. All of the products remain in the Teym collection permanently. The brand is therefore a true believer in slow fashion, only replenishing their stock every 3 months, on average.
To ensure quality, Teym extensively tests and evaluates products in the design phase before they are launched. The design phase of a new item takes about a year. From finding the perfect materials to lifetime testing, Teym takes the time to pursue perfection in every detail. In doing so, they attach great importance to the feedback they receive from customers.
Each product comes with a maintenance card that includes care tips and tricks for each material. This way, you can make sure your purchase stays beautiful for longer. Teym is working on creating a comprehensive care guide for each item, with videos, allowing customers to extend the life of their pieces for as long as possible. Any holes in your Teym item? The brand provides free thread so you can repair the item yourself (or have it repaired) and then keep wearing it for as long as possible.
