Material & Care
This backpack is not machine washable. For long-term enjoyment of AMAR, please hand wash only. We recommend a GOTS-certified waterproofing spray to optimize the water-repellent properties of the organic cotton canvas. MELA clothing is triple-certified according to Fairtrade Cotton, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and the Green Button. We believe the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other perfectly, allowing us to confidently speak of holistically sustainable textiles.

Sustainability
MELA bags are triple-certified according to Fairtrade Cotton, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and the Green Button. We believe the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other perfectly, allowing us to confidently speak of holistically sustainable textiles.
- Through the Fairtrade Cotton Standard, we ensure compliance with social criteria in raw material extraction. We place particular emphasis on fair pay for cotton farmers. With every MELA item purchased, you support Indian cotton cooperatives with a Fairtrade premium. MELA is also part of the new Fairtrade Textile Standard and is committed to ensuring 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 process is monitored by independent certification bodies.
- In addition, these fashion items are also certified according to the state textile seal Green Button, which verifies social and environmental criteria at both the product and company level.

Production
The backpack and pencil case were made by our bag and backpack manufacturers in Kolkata, India.
We've been working closely with this company since launching our first model. Together, we've continually evolved and continuously optimized the quality of our products. Our manufacturers have already received numerous awards for their social commitment. The topic of female empowerment is strongly promoted in the two factories, and numerous training programs are available. Employees also benefit from annual medical programs, which are also extended to the communities adjacent to the production site.
We ensure fair working conditions and a healthy working environment, and not only in the sewing department. From the cotton to the finished product, we can trace all ingredients and guarantee compliance with ecological standards throughout the entire supply chain. All our production steps take place in the countries where the raw materials originate. This helps maximize local value creation and shorten transport routes.
