For sustainability reasons, we don't use elastane in cuffs and hems. This means your garment may stretch in these areas during wear and return to its original shape after washing.

We recommend washing this scarf on a gentle cycle at 30°C to prevent shrinkage and preserve its beautiful appearance. Cleaning and air-drying your laundry at lower temperatures saves energy and money, helping you minimize your carbon footprint.

The scarf was made by our producers in India. At all our production facilities, we focus on transparent, friendly, and equal collaboration. Together, we continuously develop to continuously optimize the quality of our products. Our manufacturers have already received numerous awards for their social commitment. We ensure fair working conditions and a healthy working environment, not only in the sewing department. From the cotton to the finished product, we can trace all components and guarantee compliance with ecological standards throughout the entire supply chain.

All MELA textiles 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, this article is certified according to the state textile seal Green Button, which verifies social and environmental criteria at both the product and company level.
