If you like this style, then it's meant for you. We believe that everyone can wear our clothes, regardless of gender stereotypes.

• 100% organic cotton
• Processing: knitted
• Pre-washed fabric (for a long-lasting fit)
• Vegan
• Free from harmful substances according to GOTS Standard

For sustainability reasons, we do not use elastane for cuffs and hems. This means that your garment may stretch in these areas while wearing and will return to its original shape after washing.

We recommend washing this sweater on a 30° delicate cycle to prevent the garment from shrinking and to maintain its beautiful appearance. Washing your laundry at lower temperatures and air-drying saves energy and money, and thus helps minimize your ecological footprint.

MELA clothing is triple certified according to Fairtrade Cotton, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Green Button. In our opinion, the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other perfectly, so that we can speak with a clear conscience of holistically sustainable textiles. At all of our production sites, the focus is on transparent, friendly and equal cooperation. Together, we have always developed further and continuously optimized the quality of the products. Our manufacturers have already received numerous awards for their social commitment.

• Through the Fairtrade Cotton Standard, we ensure that social criteria are adhered to when extracting raw materials. We place particular emphasis on fair pay for cotton farmers. With every MELA item you buy, you support Indian cotton cooperatives with a Fairtrade premium. MELA is also part of the new Fairtrade Textile Standard and is committed to living wages along the entire supply chain.
• The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) ensures that only ecologically optimized substances are used along the entire supply chain - from cotton cultivation to dyeing the fabrics - and that social standards are met. This is monitored by independent certification bodies.
• In addition, this fashion item is certified according to the state textile seal Green Button, which checks social and environmental criteria at both product and company level.
