Finnish eco-fashion label TAUKO will start to recycle German waste textiles!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Helsinki-based eco-fashion label TAUKO will start to recycle German waste textiles. Radalla, the collection for fall 2015, will be made from German waste textiles, for You!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Waste textiles as raw material for TAUKO-collections<\/h2>\n

TAUKOs collections follow the tradition of nordic minimalism with a heap of baltic humor. Our principle is to support a sustainable lifestyle. All items are made from long-lasting and durable materials and feature classy yet interesting designs.<\/p>\n

Since more than 3 years, TAUKO collaborates with Finnish textile maintenance companies to source\u00a0materials for its garments. In fact, all our collections are made primarily from recycled health care, hotel and restaurant textiles: We dye the old textiles and print new patterns to them to give them a second life as high-quality clothes. After years of experience working with Finnish textile maintenance companies, we now want to show in Germany what we have learned.<\/p>\n

\"KUVA<\/a><\/p>\n

Local production for locals<\/h2>\n

We want to make the Finnish approach to ecological fashion known outside of Finland.<\/p>\n

However, expanding outside of Finland for us means to also establish a local production. Therefore we want to transfer our production model from Finland to Germany while making it even better!<\/p>\n

Our goal is to create a Germany-based production and reselling network that is based on regional work, local infrastructure and locally sourced waste textiles. In the Berlin area alone, the amount of health care textile waste is enormous. Those textiles are currently either only poorly or not at all recycled. Together with eco-certified and regional dyeing and printing houses which we already found, this gives us the opportunity to establish a regional TAUKO production for Germany.<\/p>\n

Support us to make it happen<\/span><\/h2>\n

German waste textiles are already waiting for the production to get started!<\/p>\n

This is the stage where we ask you to come along and help us to make it happen. For this occasion, we designed the bag \u201dTurn waste into beauty\u201d to spread the message. It will be made completely from this material. Furthermore, items of our Radalla-collection, which are not available anywhere else yet, will be made from the first batch of German waste textiles.<\/p>\n

You like the designs for yourself or for a friend? We offer you to exclusively pre-order the first Radalla products made from German waste textiles.<\/p>\n

You have a service company? We offer you a selection of aprons that tell the story of recycled textile made from German waste textiles.<\/p>\n

You are welcome to drop by at our studio to have a peek at the prototypes and samples of the Radalla collection and maybe even try on some of the garments!<\/p>\n

You want to support us but you do not know how exactly? Why not purchase a gift card! It is valid for all our products that are available at our studio shop in Helsinki.<\/p>\n
