PRICING

We would like to give you an understanding of our pricing so that you know what is happening with your money.
In order to survive on the market as a fashion label, especially as a sustainable, small fashion label (much higher costs at all levels), pricing must be well thought out. We want to offer our customers high-quality clothing that doesn't lack design and is still affordable.
We pay attention to high-quality workmanship, which often involves more than one seam. Good yarn, environmentally friendly fabrics, fair wages and sustainable packaging material come at a price.

Nevertheless, we want to make our sustainable fashion accessible to many people and have adapted our prices to the market, our quality and to you.

We have thought for a long time about disclosing all our costs, but there are too many obstacles and incomprehensibility because we not only sell directly to you customers, but also indirectly through other platforms, as well as in retail. Every sales channel has different conditions, which is why it is very difficult to simply describe the entire topic.

We have nevertheless broken down the pricing of a €140 dress here. This breakdown is only available if you order directly from us.
Our margin (profit margin) is lower across all other channels because the costs of retail or external websites also have to be covered.
