We are working toward a more sustainable suit. Together with Caffe inc, we dyed our suits with a dyeing method that uses coffee residu as pigment

The fashion industry is one of the top polluting industries. We have had the ambition to make steps in solving this issue from the start. We try to do what we can, but we definitely need help in this process. This is why we are very grateful for the work, knowledge and spirit that Caffe Inc puts into it and for them wanting to work with us.

Caffe Inc realized two things: that the dyeing process is one of the main problems in fashion and that we have a lot of coffee residu in the Netherlands. They came up with an innovative concept to recover raw materials from coffee grounds, including coffee dyes and coffee oil. After testing the dye in various applications, the textile dyeing was found to be a good match. The natural dye from coffee grounds scores well on light and wash fastness – factors that are very important in fashion. No new raw materials are needed to produce the natural coffee dyes and no toxic waste is produced.

Together, we created a first, small sample collection of suits that were dyed with the Caffe Inc method. The result are suits in a beautiful beige. This collection is just the start. We are working to creating a full collection that we can sell at the same price as our regular suits.
