Ladies hip jacket

The denim used for this slightly boxy-cut short jacket is made from pure cotton, 76% of which comes from controlled organic cultivation and 24% from recycled material. The denim is a specialty: it is woven by Candiani, a green denim pioneer based near Milan not far from the Parco Naturale Valle Ticino-Piemonte. Due to its proximity to the nature reserve, Candiani was forced to comply with strict environmental regulations back in the early 1970s, which is now proving to be a real competitive advantage. Armedangels has crafted the denim jacket from this "green" denim with a slightly dropped shoulder, a patch pocket and a button fastening at the back.

Designing fashion differently (and better), conserving resources instead of exploiting them, and creating designs that make lasting additions to the wardrobe - that was the plan of Martin Höfeler and Anton Jurina, the founders of the Cologne-based label Armedangels. Or to put it in CEO Höfeler's words, "I really just wanted to prove that it's possible to build a company that's profit-driven while pushing good." And what began in 2007 with a plain white T-shirt has long since become a successful fair fashion label. Armedangels combines ecological materials, transparent supply chains, durable design and fair working conditions. This fairness is regularly checked by several independent organizations. Thus, Armedangels may adorn itself with the Fairtrade and the GOTS seal. In addition, the label is part of the Fair Wear Foundation.
