THE LABEL

Clothes & bags that simply feel better – in all respects. NORDLICHT is a slow fashion label. We are convinced that good quality never goes out of fashion. In fact, we don’t see ourselves as a fashion brand, but as a design brand that designs clothes & bags. We are driven by the passion to create good quality companions that last a long time. And we think that this is essential when we talk about sustainability.

SUSTAINaBLE | ORGANIC | FAIR

We create timeless instead of fashionable designs. We bear the corporate responsibility towards people and nature. Nordlicht is “Green Button” certified and many products are GOTS certified, the strictest seal for ecological products.

PRINCIPLES

Sustainability at Nordlicht:

Faster, cheaper, more … that’s how the climate crisis came about! We have less speed, less growth, but more quality. More (life) quality for our customers, for people and nature – and for us. We don’t see ourselves as a “hyper-growth” start-up and we don’t want to go public. We want to design and manufacture our products responsibly and sell them to responsible customers.

Especially when it comes to clothing, fashion and accessories, we all have to rethink. The life cycle assessment of the fashion industry is a disaster. We show how it can be done better. Sustainable. Ecologically, socially and economically without compromise. We are as transparent as possible in production, with our partners and also in our price calculation.

Only sustainability has a future.
You can call it politics.
We call it reason.

Renewable raw materials

For us, it is important to mainly use materials made from renewable raw materials. For example, we do not use artificial leather, among other things, because all plastics are based on petroleum and require a lot of energy to produce. The disposal of the products is also problematic, since synthetic leather is not biodegradable and therefore counts as plastic waste. We also do not use recycled plastic material, as microplastics are released into the environment during recycling. Of course, our materials are independently tested and are free of harmful substances. For us, plastic can only be considered in small quantities. For example, we have not yet found a solution for the zippers inside. Here, a metal zipper would simply be too heavy and could scratch the laptop. On the outside, however, you can use super metal zippers. You can be sure that we are always looking for even better solutions that are neither CO2 intensive nor made of plastic. A great challenge that we are happy to face!
