Amsterdams Goed

Amsterdams Goed, what is that?

This brand was foun­ded in the Nether­lands in 2019 by Mona Konings. With her clothing brand, she wan­ted to make a coun­ter-move­ment against the Fast Fashion world. Tha­t’s why Mona deci­ded to work only on request. What the brand even more spe­cial makes are the authen­tic prints.

Amsterdams Goed is good for the planet

Ams­ter­dams Goed only works with silk and GOTS-cer­ti­fied orga­nic cot­ton and ink. They also use upcy­cled mate­rials such as post-con­su­mer denim. Everything is made in Ams­ter­dam in colla­bo­ra­tion with Ate­lier: Made Here. In this way, they keep the trans­port low. Could it be even bet­ter? Yes, becau­se Ams­ter­dams Goed is based on the ideas of Zero Was­te. So all the lef­to­vers are pro­ces­sed into new material.
