🇳🇱 In an interview with the KLM Flying Dutchman Magazine, member brand Schijvens Corporate Fashion spoke on the role Fair Wear has played in making ethics and sustainability two fundamental pillars of their company 📈In the past ten and a bit years, Schijvens has shown exceptional progress on Fair Wear performance indicators — taking its sustainability commitments seriously Their approach caught KLM’s eye, and in 2023, Schijvens won a contract to supply clothing to all KLM employees. Being a Fair Wear member adds substantial value to Schijvens in multiple facets, not only supporting the brand to achieve its ethical objectives but also strengthening its market position, particularly in the realm of public procurement where ethical practices are increasingly paramount. As owner Shirley Schijvens says, “People always seem to be surprised that I have taken such drastic steps, but for me, it is baffling that people can ignore certain working conditions in favour of buying cheap clothes.” We're paving the way so that more brands can take Schijvens’ approach to making clothing fairer — if you’re a garment brand looking to make your supply chain more sustainable, get in touch! https://lnkd.in/efs7sKEr #Schijvens #FairWearFoundation #KLM #sustainablefashion #garmentindustry

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the 4-day "Hotshop" workshop in Holland, hosted by ECCO Leather B.V. where over 100 industry insiders, from designers to product developers and leather enthusiasts, came together to collaborate and innovate. Here are some key takeaways from this enriching experience: 1. Networking: Connecting with passionate experts, we exchanged insights and fostered a community among global brands and emerging designers. 2. Sustainability: The consensus on the importance of material longevity was clear. Leather, as a byproduct that would otherwise go to waste, and the advanced, low-water tanning methods are remarkable strides towards sustainability. 3. Exploring New Materials: We didn't just focus on leather. We actively discussed and experimented with new mycelium materials, exploring their potential alongside leather. 4. The Importance of Play: Stepping away from our usual intense schedules, we allowed ourselves to play and experiment for four days. This creativity extended beyond the research and development hall to after-work gatherings with great food and drinks. CEO Panos Mytaros delivered an inspiring speech about what success means: being proud, daring, and determined. These qualities were evident throughout the workshop and are essential for driving innovation and excellence in our industry. A big thank you to Panos and his team, as well as everyone I met during this incredible experience. #Hotshop #EccoLeather #LeatherCraft #Entrepreneurship #Sustainability #Innovation #Networking #ProductDevelopment #Creativity

June has flown by and we are excited to reflect on all the collaborations our talents have done! They teamed up with My Jewellery, Jérôme Dreyfuss, New Balance, Hunkemöller and many more. Not only our talents have been busy but KITH CLUB is also in full progress, such as our collaboration with KLM Open 🏌️ Let's kick off July with a valuable tip: The Instagram algorithm is often a mystery, but recent updates have given us some insight. Instagram will now prioritize original content, pushing it to non-followers more than reposts. It's time to rethink your content strategy, adapt, and thrive 🚀 #influencermarketing

As commissioner of the jury at Amsterdam Fashion Institute I have met through the years so many beautiful minds. Yesterday's presentations let me think again about Fashion. The purpose and the meaning. One conversation doesn't let me go! "When does couture become art?" A research that touched me. Today's prices for our clothes are much too low. Within the supply chain so many things go wrong. From seed to garment and from buying-using to discarding. Even the new circular models we are globally looking for have difficult hurdles. We have to solve! So now and then I meet artists who have a holistic view. And see solutions from other perspectives. Get inspiration from Aniela Hoitink , the first designer who talked with me about fungi in 2014 or Diana Scherer I met during #DutchdesignWeek in 2019 and designer Helena Elston . Helena explores the upcycling of textile waste combined with mycelial growth. Called FIG (Fungal Integrated Garments), the four-year project consists of a series of handmade, wearable clothing made from local #London waste products, including #discarded textiles, #garments and #coffee sacks. The textiles have been manipulated through a process involving mycelium (the root system of mushrooms). Story by #material__district

Today’s edition in Boundless Brand Design’s series of ‘Spirit Of My Grandad’ is a 1980s vintage miniature of the juniper-flavored spirit De Kuyper Geneva. Geneva, also known as Jenever or Genièvre, is a juniper-flavored spirit that has been produced in the Netherlands and Belgium since the 16th century. It is the precursor to gin. As we hold this unique bottle in our hands, its charm becomes more apparent with each detail we uncover. It is small but proud: its large shoulders give it a confident look. But its most distinctive part is the big heart-shaped label. It’s certainly an unusual label, but one that we guess could be explained by the Dutch's strong maritime history - hearts are, after all, a favorite when it comes to sailors’ tattoos. We could be guessing wrong, but the mini bottle definitely boasts a link to the sea - both the anchor illustration and punchy 69-degree proof are telltale signs of it. The illustration and design style add to this maritime feel: provenance messages ‘Genuine Hollands’ and ‘Rotterdam’ are wrapped around the heart, and the founder’s name is written inside a curved ribbon. A unique, special miniature that captures the enduring charm and heart of generations past. #miniature #spirits

Watch the in depth documentary about our HOMEGROWN denim research! For six months, we studied greenhouse-grown cotton plants at a research facility in Bleiswijk, the Netherlands. We examined quality, yield, and fiber properties, comparing their environmental footprint to traditional methods. We explored strategies like precision irrigation and renewable energy to reduce impact, while also analyzing economic viability and market potential. We discovered that growing cotton in a greenhouse offers a controlled and protected environment that significantly boosts productivity - with 5 to sometimes even 23 times more cotton per plant and up to 95% less water usage - while eliminating the need for chemical pesticides and offering the possibility to drastically shorten the supply chain. The cotton was then turned into denim jeans all within The Netherlands – rethinking the way the denim industry is set up. Every aspect of cotton processing and garment production was completed within a span of 644 km, from ginning to spinning, weaving, sewing, dyeing, and finishing. Additionally, G-Star used electric vehicles between suppliers, creating the shortest possible supply chain with the least impact. More info and the full report at https://lnkd.in/dpZfmgVK. Thanks to all who made this happen but especially: Rebecka Sancho Willeke Hendriks Cindy Voesenek Filip van Noort Victor Sandberg Pauline Rondeltap Tanne Donjacour Gielen Emma Vans-Colina Jeroen Vermeer Coen Beekhuizen Suzanne de Jong
