MELA

MELA stands for timeless clothing and home textiles made from carefully selected materials. All MELA textiles are certified to the Fairtrade Cotton Standard, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and the Green Button. Together, these three certifications set clear social and environmental requirements across different parts of our supply chain. Our aim is to make certified textiles available at accessible prices.

The cotton we use comes from certified organic farming. Many of our products are made from 100% cotton. Where additional materials are needed for functionality, we list them in the individual product description.

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) sets requirements for the processing of certified organic fibres. These include criteria for the use of chemicals, wastewater treatment, and social standards at certified stages of production. Compliance with these requirements is independently verified as part of the certification process.

Our collections are built around timeless silhouettes, versatile colours, and a variety of cotton fabrics. When developing each product, we consider more than just the main fabric — we also look at details such as sewing and embroidery threads, labels, buttons, and padding.

Wherever the product’s function allows, we use cotton for components like sewing threads and labels as well. Any additional materials — such as elastane for the fit of our socks or zips — are clearly listed in the relevant product description.
