Ladies sweater woven

This striking slipover, which cuts a fine figure over both a blouse and a T-shirt, is woven rather than knitted. The fine fabric is made of pure new wool, it feels pleasantly smooth. The slipover is slightly longer in the back than in the front, with the front torso hem straight and the back rounded. A longitudinal split seam at the front slims it visually.

"Longevity is the best kind of sustainability," says Christiane Strobel, founder of Christiane Strobel Constant Clothing. The Cologne-based label produces fair fashion from natural materials that easily outlasts short-lived trends thanks to its quality and timeless design. Christiane Strobel lives sustainability at all levels. The collections, which are created as part of a social project in Morocco, mainly use wool and GOTS-certified cotton, which are produced and processed with consideration for the environment and the people involved in the processes. Transparency is guaranteed along the entire supply chain. Christiane Strobel's trademark is the back of each item of clothing with hand-embroidered triangles, the so-called "darts", some of which have traditional Fassi-style embroidery. This makes each item, whether trousers, dress, T-shirt or jacket, unique with the "signature" of the embroiderer and her name.

The collections are produced by Sitaara Couture and AlNour Textiles, two cooperating social enterprises in Marrakech. They employ women with physical disabilities who would have little or no chance of finding a job in the regular labor market. The working conditions there are exemplary - from fair pay and individual health benefits to a pleasant and equal working environment in which the employees are challenged and supported in their personal and professional development. Not only are they trained, they also receive additional courses in reading, writing, basic arithmetic and IT basics. There is a daycare center and free meals - and the women are also provided with transportation between the workplace and their homes. In short: Christiane Strobel pursues a corporate culture that many other employees in the clothing industry can only dream of.
