The atelier and workshop are located in Dortmund, where the Atelier Collection – Made in Germany is sewn. Additionally, the label is supported by family businesses in Portugal and Turkey for the production of other styles. A close partnership with the production facilities is an important aspect of the label, and the GOTS-certified suppliers are regularly visited.
Clara Himmel uses exclusively GOTS-certified materials, including organic cotton, viscose, linen, lyocell, RWS-certified wool, and GRS-certified polyester. Shipping is done exclusively with DHL Go Green and plastic-free, so you will receive your goods in a grass paper box. The hangtags are made from 100% recycled paper. For truck transport from the supplier to Clara Himmel, only recycled polybags are used.
The predominant use of monofibres is important to simplify the recycling process. To minimise waste, the patterns are created according to the less-waste principle. If waste does occur, it is either upcycled into accessories by the team or donated to kindergartens.
The atelier, and thus the heart of the company, is based in Dortmund, with additional production sites in Portugal and Turkey. Would you prefer to try the lovingly crafted collections in person rather than shopping online? Then visit the Clara Himmel boutiques in Dortmund or Hamburg.
Few products are made from RWS-certified wool (Responsible Wool Standard), which comes from controlled farms and is responsibly traded. Would you like to learn more about the water-efficient and chemical-free material? Then check out the Clara Himmel website for more information. In 2021, Clara Himmel won PETA Germany’s Vegan Fashion Award in the category “Best Fashion Piece Women’s Spring/Summer.”
At Clara Himmel, you will find not only casual and comfortable everyday clothing but also elegant and stylish looks for special occasions that you will enjoy for a long time. Longevity is guaranteed not only because of the high-quality materials but also due to the timeless and minimalist designs, making them versatile for many outfits. Clara Himmel is currently testing a pilot project where customers receive vouchers for returned clothing. Repairs are handled only upon request.
The small team of seven women continuously works to make the company even more sustainable and responsible, step by step, by optimising the supply chain and promoting mindful and positive consumption. On the website, you will find detailed information about the materials used for each item, as well as care and washing tips. On Instagram, the label even provides insights into the cost breakdown of some pieces.
