Discover conscious fashion at green guerillas in Cologne’s Rathenauviertel, where founders Marlies Binder and Kai Tettenborn have brought to life their vision of promoting more sustainable style since April 2011. This pioneering concept store, with a sister location in Südstadt, offers a carefully curated selection of streetwear and officewear for both women and men, featuring around 25 German and international brands. From well-known names like Nudie Jeans and ARMEDANGELS to smaller newcomers, Green Guerillas seeks to blend fashion with more responsible practices. Moreover, thanks to its exceptional jeans range and expert advice, the store has attracted a dedicated clientele.
Every piece in the store reflects a more sustainable approach to fibre choices and ethical manufacturing, boasting natural, regenerated, or recycled materials, all certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Highlights include the label Glimpse, which transforms the lives of former forced prostitutes in India by training them as seamstresses.
Beyond the exceptional clothing range, green guerillas is defined by its commitment to the community and planetary well-being. Marlies, Kai, and their passionate team offer expert advice, ensuring every visit is both educational and enjoyable. The store’s design, crafted in collaboration with local carpenters, reflects ecological principles and quality.
For those taking a stand against fast fashion’s impact, green guerillas presents a compelling alternative, valuing ethical production and environmental consciousness.
