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

The bag was made by our producers in India.

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 our products. Our manufacturers have already received numerous awards for their social commitment.

We pay attention to fair working conditions and a healthy working environment, and not just in the sewing department. From the cotton to the finished product, we can trace all components and guarantee compliance with ecological standards along the entire supply chain.

All our production steps take place in the countries where the raw materials come from. This helps to maximize local added value and shorten transport routes.
