MELA clothing is triple-certified according to Fairtrade Cotton, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and the Grüner Knopf (Green Button) label. In our opinion, the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other optimally, allowing us to confidently speak of holistically sustainable textiles.

• Through the Fairtrade Cotton Standard, we ensure compliance with social criteria in raw material procurement. Great importance is placed on fair wages for cotton farmers. With every MELA item purchased, you support Indian cotton cooperatives with a Fairtrade premium. In addition, MELA is part of the new Fairtrade Textile Standard and advocates for living wages throughout the entire supply chain.
• The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) ensures that only ecologically optimized substances are used throughout the entire supply chain – from cotton cultivation to fabric dyeing – and that social standards are met. This is monitored by independent certification bodies.
• In addition, this fashion item is certified with the state textile label Grüner Knopf (Green Button), which verifies social and environmental criteria at both product and company levels.
