The company's philosophy is guided by three central tenets: Clarity, Transparency, and the Will to establish confidence within the textile industry. These values, combined with the team's expertise in the mechanics of the textile industry allows Lebenskleidung to create beautiful and unique responsibly produced fabrics. The textile industry is unfortunately responsible for some of the most severe environmental damage, waste, and exploitation of labor in the world. Chemical dyes and pesticides pollute natural water supplies, the manufacturing processes for artificial fibers generate huge amounts of toxic chemical waste each year, and many large textile companies force their employees to work in sweat-shop conditions - long hours for very little pay and little to no job security.
At Source4Style, we are passionate about seeking out producers who are trying to change this system, and we are proud to showcase the very best fabric mills in the world in our marketplace. Lebenskleidung is a business that exemplifies the next generation of textile producers - kinder to both their employees and their world. As a GOTS-certified supplier, Lebenskleidung offers their customers a guarantee of complete transparency. Everything from where they source their raw materials, to the labor conditions of their workers is presented up front, so that as a customer, you can be sure you are not only purchasing stunning textiles, but making a choice to support a business you can believe in.
Today, many fabric manufacturers are seeing the potential in organic fibers, however, these fabrics are are often a luxury that only the top, most-established designers can afford due to high order minimums. Lebenskleidung believed that this structure was counterintuitive to making organic textiles a viable alternative to conventional fabrics. Thus, they developed a group sourcing system which allows emerging and small-scale designers and creatives to create 'bundles' of fabrics in order to meet order minimums rather than requiring these businesses to order thousands of meters of a single textile. Because of their commitment to making organic and ethically produced fabrics not only a reality, but a viable, attractive alternative to conventional material, Lebenskleidung also offers custom design services, which allow creatives to design a bespoke fabric to match their own unique vision.
They also offer comfy t-shirts, sweatshirts, and even adult sized onesies made from organic cotton that can be customized with a personal design, saying, or logo. The innovative German company has a pulse on the fashion and style industry which allows them to not only produce organic fabrics, but to ensure that these fabrics are stylish, current, and desirable to consumers in today's market.Lebenskleidung's management is composed of an eclectic team of individuals including a political scientist, geographer and environmental scientist, a business expert, and three textile engineers. With ages ranging from 25 to 31, this team brings a vibrant and energetic spirit to the industry, and is revolutionizing how we think about transparency, sustainability, and ethical fabric production.
