SUSTAINABILITY
As kids grow, they grow up and out of their clothes. That is why -especially for kids fashion- we find it vital to offer timeless, non-seasonal pieces suitable for multiple occasions. Because by increasing the wearing frequency we actuallly increase the "lifespan" of our garments.
Studio Vermicelli consciously chooses to print garments on demand. By doing so we keep stock levels to a minimum, reduce end-of-season fabric waste and an overflooding of the market.
We carry a small buffer of blank stock and collect your orders on a weekly basis,
Studio Vermicelli is only available online and in a small selection of sustainable shops. We do not service or ship outside Europe as this would go against the principle of making local and slow fashion.
Studio Vermicelli only prints on garments that are GOTS certified (Global Organic Textile Standard). We work with a Belgian wholesaler who has a long-time experience in sustainable confection and who closely monitors both the harvest of the organic cotton in India and the working conditions at their dedicated factory lines in Asia.
All clothes carry the Fair Wear foundation label.
Screenprinting is done locally and with biodegradable water-based inks.
The high quality inks and colour pigments are acquired from the German/Swiss-based supplier CHT. They are mixed by our own hand to the required Pantone colours based on the look of the collection.
The inks are certified by several organisations including BlueDesign, GOTS and Oekotex 100. They do not contain any harmful ingredients, they have no oil base, and are safe to us and the environment.
Studio Vermicelli collection is finished locally. Hang tags are screenprinted on recycled paper. For our neck labels, we use recycled polyester. For our packaging, we prefer kraft paper.
