Hoodie TICAN

Made from 100% Fairtrade organic cotton, this breathable hoodie is particularly comfortable to wear and is completely vegan.

To avoid the use of conventional synthetic fibers, we do not use elastane in cuffs and hems. As a result, these areas may stretch slightly during wear and contract again after washing.

We recommend washing this sweater at 30 °C (86 °F) on a gentle cycle and air drying it. We advise against using a tumble dryer. Lower wash temperatures and air drying save energy while also helping to preserve the material and shape.

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 about holistically sustainable textiles.

• 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 also certified according to the state textile seal Green Button, which checks social and environmental criteria at both product and company level.
