The Product Journey of the Bed to Boardroom blouse
Materials: Yumeko deadstock TENCEL™
Portugal
The blouse is made from Cotton TENCEL™, a repurposed fabric originally intended for Yumeko bedding. This material is not only incredibly soft and smooth but also exceptionally strong and moisture-absorbent. Because it’s crafted from byproducts of the wood industry and uses 49% less CO2 and 71% less water compared to traditional cotton production, the fabric is remarkably sustainable.

Manufacturing
Ede, The Netherlands
The blouse was locally produced in the Netherlands by Fabriek Fris, a social garment atelier where experienced clothing makers work alongside trainees. Fabriek Fris focuses on developing new talent and coaching personal and work-related skills. The atelier provides people with a refugee background more than just a job—it fosters an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome to make a 'fresh' start.
We always produce in small batches of 50 items.
