European Flax

In the world of sustainable fashion, European flax stands out as one of the most eco-friendly fabrics, offering a natural, renewable, and biodegradable alternative to synthetic materials.

Cotton

We use both Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) cotton and organic cotton in our products.

BCI cotton, a term often encountered in the realm of sustainable fashion, is a program initiated in 2005 to enhance the sustainability of cotton farming.

It promotes responsible practices throughout the cotton supply chain. This global initiative strives to make cotton cultivation more environmentally friendly by reducing the use of harmful chemicals, optimizing water usage, and promoting ethical practices.

Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or toxic pesticides. This method relies on natural alternatives for pest control and soil enrichment.

Organic cotton boasts its credibility through rigorous certifications. Prominent among these is the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which sets the gold standard for certified Organic Cotton. GOTS certification ensures that the entire supply chain adheres to strict organic and ethical criteria.

Circularity, the why of our material choices

At Kristina Nordlöf, we are determined to use only natural fibers in our designs, ensuring that our garments are not only visually stunning but also valuable resources with a long lifespan. Each piece is crafted with the intention of giving it a second life once its journey as a garment comes to an end.

We believe in the power of circularity, which means that all our products are thoughtfully designed for recyclability. That’s why we prefer to avoid blends containing both natural and synthetic fibers. When these two types are mixed, the fabric loses its ability to be recycled or biodegraded, leading to unnecessary waste in landfills.

With every piece we create, you can feel assured that it’s part of a larger story—one that embraces sustainability and honors the lifecycle of fashion. Join us in the effort to make a positive impact, knowing that everything we design is crafted to live on in new and meaningful ways.
