KOLO Berlin produces in its own KOLO studio at Selchower Straße 31 in 12049 Berlin, thereby guaranteeing regulated and controlled working conditions.
All employees are paid fairly and treated according to social standards.
The label only uses ecologically and ethically produced textiles, including (GOTS-certified) organic cotton, as well as natural rubber from plantations in Malaysia that do not tolerate child labour, Tencel Lyocell, organic wool, the innovative Refibra Tencel™ and a small amount of elastane. On the one hand KOLO Berlin works with the more sustainable German supplier Lebenskleidung and on the other hand with Ecological Textiles from the Netherlands. The focus is deliberately on long-term partnerships for trust and stability.
The local production in Berlin enables considerable savings in CO2 emissions. The same applies to shipping which is climate-neutral with DHL GOgreen.
KOLO Berlin primarily uses natural monofibres, but also occasionally mixed fibres that make the recycling process more difficult. When it comes to ingredients, the designer consistently uses plastic-free components, such as elasticated cotton and rubber bands, metal buttons and high-quality YKK zips, which are not only robust but also durable.
Customers have a lifetime repair guarantee and can return the clothing to Studio KOLO for a refund.
The showroom, which is also used as a store, and the studio are located at Selchower Straße 31 in 12049 Berlin and shorten the supply chain by saving on transport from external suppliers or producers.
KOLO Berlin only uses organic wool sourced from certified suppliers. The wool comes from organic, chemical-free sheep farming, which is animal-friendly and prohibits mulesing. It also ensures that the highest social and ecological standards are adhered to during production.
KOLO Berlin only brings out one modern, Berlin-inspired collection per year and avoids overproduction by only producing small quantities or to order.
Special attention is paid to high quality and timelessness, so that the garments will give pleasure for a long time and guarantee longevity.
COSH! particularly appreciates the fact that the Made in Berlin label appeals to all age and gender groups.
As the small company combines design, production and sales at one location in Berlin, the supply chain is short and clearly traceable. Customers are even invited to see the production process on site at Studio KOLO. It doesn’t get much more transparent and honest than that.
