One of our keys to success lies in long-term partnerships. For example with our production partner Gebrüder Conzelmann based in Albstadt. We visit them several times a year and have quickly established a close relationship with this traditional company. Full of pride they look back on a century of experience in the textile trade. We are grateful to be able to benefit from their know-how, Swabian precision and craftsmanship as a young company since day one of our foundation.
With around 150 employees, the company, as one of the last few of its kind in Germany, still handles many production steps itself in a fully integrated process: from patterning, knitting the fabrics on around 100 knitting machines, bleaching and dyeing, calendering, cutting and packaging. There is even a sewing shop, but most of the production takes place in cooperation with sewing factories in South-East Europe.
More than half of our articles are produced in the Swabian Alb and in a Romanian sewing shop.
Most of our underwear and nightwear collections are created in cooperation with Gebr. Conzelmann.
For our popular lace underwear and bodies we use silky soft Micromodal with lace made from recycled yarns (Q-NOVA®). We have chosen Modal TENCEL™from Lenzing in Austria. The company uses an ecologically compatible and environmentally friendly process - the Edelweiss technology.
Cotton from controlled organic cultivation is used for our cotton basics. The yarn comes from India and is knitted into fabrics at Conzelmann on circular knitting machines.
Modal TENCEL™
Modal is a viscose fibre and belongs to the family of regenerated fibres. The material Modal is a synthetically obtained natural fibre made of 100% natural cellulose from beech wood.
