Every year, tons of clothing and textiles from the fashion industry are thrown away.
We insist on taking an active part in finding the right way to minimize this issue. We see a great opportunity in returned Underprotection products through our Take-back program, leftover fabrics and our discarded items and wish to give them all a new life. This is at the core of ‘I Tråd Med Verden’ and it came naturally, to collaborate with them on our first ever upcycled collection.

To best care for your garment and the environment, we recommend that you wash at a 30-degree programme with a mild laundry detergent, preferably nontoxic or biodegradable.
Your garment is likely to shrink by 3-5% after washing, but you can regain near original shape by ironing or steaming it.
To protect the environment and the garment, always dry naturally and in the shade.
‘I Tråd Med Verden’ is a socio-economic business that runs sewing rooms in vulnerable neighborhoods in Denmark. They work with upcycling of discarded textiles with the focus of creating job opportunities, networking and enhancing the life quality for women, who have lost their footing in the job market.
‘I Tråd Med Verdens’ purpose is to be a local resource with the intention of forming a community and generate new knowledge around textile recycling. They contribute to the green agenda by creating a circular production, where discarded materials can get a new life.
In the sewing rooms, the seamstresses work based on their personal skills within sewing and with what inspires their creativity. The focus of ‘I Tråd Med Verdens’ is to provide the women with positive work experiences of success, motivation, joy and a belief in the future.

BRA MEASUREMENT
To find the most accurate size you have to do two measurements, A: bust and B: band. Do the measurements on your bare skin. Start off by measuring all the way around your bust where it’s widest. Then measure all the way around just under your bust. We have plus sizes for mostly all of our bra’s to make sure that bigger busts can fit our bras. When a size is plus size the underband stays the same and the size of the cup will go a size up; for example a size S+ has an underband that fits a regular size S and the cup size fits a regular size M. Be aware that it’s meant for you to start out using the outer buckle of the hook and eye closure first. Then you can adjust and tighten when the underband elastic gets looser.

Wanna know the tricks for measuring? Always measure on bare skin and not over clothing. This will give you the best and most accurate result.

Always measure yourself and then use the results to find the perfect size in the wanted style.

Then end off by measuring all the way round your hip where it's widest. These three measurements will indicate the most accurate size for you in our tops, shirts, kimonos and dresses.
