Soulgoods Düsseldorf is deeply rooted in social fairness. They partner with small family-run businesses in Portugal that adhere to stringent EU labour laws, ensuring their garments are produced under conditions that respect the workers and promote social equity. Each piece of clothing reflects their commitment to creating a positive work environment and supporting the local communities where their operations are based.
The brand’s apparel is crafted from conventional cotton, while its distinctive keychains are created from felted wool. The cotton originates from Portugal, and the felted wool is sourced from Germany. In line with a commitment to reducing plastic use, all orders and shipments from Portugal to Germany are packaged in cardboard. Deliveries are made by road using DHL. For further conscious detailing, garment tags are made of woven cotton, and hangtags are produced using cardboard.
Since all garments are made of natural monomaterials, they are fully recyclable. However, they are not compostable as neither the fibres nor the colours are certified organic. Yet, by focusing on the durability and quality of textiles, Soulgoods ensures that each item has a longer life cycle, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Furthermore, the brand donates all flawed items to Oxfam, eliminating waste from overproduction.
Every step, from the raw materials to the finished product, is carefully monitored and selected for its ethical standards. The brand’s priority is strengthening local Portuguese family businesses. Their operations in Portugal allow the brand to maintain close relationships with its two suppliers, ensuring the high quality and ethical nature of every Soulgoods piece. Printing and Embroidery are done in-house in Düsseldorf by hand.
