PRODUCTION LOCATIONS

There is no complete list of production locations.

WORKING CONDITIONS & WAGES

As no complete list of production countries is available, the advantages and disadvantages of the locations, possible certifications and supplier relationships cannot be reliably assessed.

MATERIALS

• Cotton, GOTS-certified
• Cotton, OCS-certified
• Cotton, BCI-certified
• Linen
• Wool, mulesing-free, RWS-certified
• Leather, LWG-certified
• Polyester
• Acrylic
• Nylon
• Recycled fibres (including reused yarns)
• Recycled fillings (from PET bottles)

Organic cotton is considered more environmentally friendly than conventional cotton, as it is grown without pesticides. Strellson uses cotton certified by GOTS, OCS or BCI. Do you know all the benefits of organic cotton?

According to the brand, the wool comes exclusively from mulesing-free suppliers and is RWS-certified, which guarantees animal welfare.

Synthetic fabrics are functional, but are considered less sustainable due to microplastics and their petroleum base.

Leather products are subject to the Leather Working Group (LWG), which ensures a more environmentally compatible tanning process.

In addition, components such as buttons, zips, etc. are restricted in accordance with GOTS guidelines.

PACKAGING

Strellson does not provide information on the packaging materials used.

WATER USE & CHEMICALS

As part of its #WEAR2CARE programme, Strellson focuses on more environmentally considerate production methods to reduce water, energy and chemical use. This is mainly achieved through the use of certified materials such as GOTS cotton, RWS wool and RCS- and GRS-certified recycled fibres, which meet stricter environmental and social requirements along the supply chain.

In addition, the brand uses plant-based dyes such as turmeric or blueberry for selected products in order to reduce chemical exposure.

However, the company does not provide detailed information on water management, chemical lists or wastewater treatment, nor does it comment on microplastic emissions from synthetic fabrics.

CIRCULAR PRODUCT DESIGN

As the collections are often made from material blends, it can be assumed that many products are only limited in their circularity.

According to its own website, the company does not offer a take-back service for worn-out garments.

In production, Strellson uses recycled fibres and fillings, for example from PET bottles.

There is no specific information available on repairability, modularity or disassembly of the products, meaning there are no indications of circular design methods.

CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODEL

The brand Strellson offers no repair service. It is also not known that Strellson cooperates with an external repair service to systematically repair garments.

There is no publicly documented collection of used or worn Strellson garments for recycling or resale.

Other circular business models such as rental, resale by the brand itself or professional refurbishment of used goods by Strellson are also not indicated.

DISTANCE & COMPLEXITY OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN

• There is no complete list of production locations.
• Strellson is headquartered in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland.

TRANSPORT

Strellson does not provide specific information on how transport is organised.

• Wool
• Leather

The brand states that its merino wool is mulesing-free and follows the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), which aims to ensure animal welfare and the protection of grazing land. However, information on the exact origin of the wool, such as the countries or farms it comes from, is not disclosed.

For leather, Strellson refers to the HOLY FASHION GROUP’s membership in the Leather Working Group (LWG), which promotes more responsible leather production.

PRODUCT DESIGN

Strellson offers menswear. The range includes formalwear, casualwear and outerwear, such as suits, shirts, T‑shirts, knitwear, trousers, coats, leather jackets and shoes. The brand focuses on modern, masculine designs and combines classic tailoring with functional elements.

SLOW FASHION PROCESSES

Strellson follows a classic seasonal model and regularly releases new collections.

There is no indication of a made-to-measure or made-to-order system.

PRODUCT TRANSPARENCY

On its product pages, Strellson provides basic information such as material composition, care instructions, product description and design features. In addition, the authorised representative and the manufacturer are listed with addresses. However, information on the country of production or the exact origin of the materials is missing. Individual products are therefore not traceable. Customers are not informed in which country the product was manufactured or from which supply chain the materials originate.

PROCESS TRANSPARENCY

Strellson provides only general information about its processes and standards, mainly on its website as part of the #WEAR2CARE programme. Various certifications are explained there, but without details on specific suppliers, production facilities or individual products.

The brand does not offer product-level traceability, and there is no published sustainability or annual report transparently documenting social or environmental performance.
