SUSTAINABLE & FAIR
Sustainability.
Sustainability - a big word that conceals equally big challenges for us and the entire textile industry. Of course, it's primarily about the environment , resource-saving production processes , the ecological footprint and much more. But it's also about the people who wear our products and who make them. Higher, faster, further - that's not our thing. And fast fashion certainly isn't.
For us, sustainability is more about the small, individual steps that we have consistently taken since Nuffinz was founded, which together create a valuable whole for us. And we are a little proud that we are getting better every year. This costs time and money, but it takes us where we want to go: to long-lasting products that can be worn without any health concerns , that conserve our planet's resources and that bring real and, above all, long-lasting joy to the people who work with and for us.
The organic cotton we use is GOTS certified, which stands for "Global Organic Textile Standard" . It is the world's leading certificate for ecological and socially responsible textile production.
At Nuffinz, however, the GOTS label stands for much more than these four letters. It is part of our philosophy; an absolute must-have. Because the GOTS seal guarantees you that our fabrics consist of at least 70% organically produced natural fibers and that the entire production takes place under environmentally friendly, fair and safe working conditions .
Why is this so important to us? Because at Nuffinz we know that true quality is not only in the end product, but in every single step of the process. Our production partner Egedeniz, from whom we source our GOTS-certified organic cotton, subjects its yarns to a complex audit every year by an independent auditing commission.
With Nuffinz you can be sure: you are wearing quality that has been produced with respect for people and nature.
Why Turkey?
Organic cotton at its best
If you're wondering why we at Nuffinz use GOTS-certified organic cotton - here are a few reasons.
Organically grown cotton is not only super soft and ultra comfortable . Above all, it is completely free of pesticides . The use of chemical-synthetic fertilizers and pesticides is completely prohibited when growing organic cotton plants. This means that you can wear Nuffinz products without any worries.
In addition, growing organic cotton saves one of the most precious resources we have: lots of water . While conventional cotton is a real water guzzler, the organic variety uses significantly less.
Our production partner Egedeniz and its local farmers have been using organic cotton for decades and are one of the most experienced in this field. This is demonstrated not least by the GOTS certification that our partner has received regularly for years.
Made in Turkey
Transparency is a crucial factor in why you can feel comfortable and good in your Nuffinz.
We want you to know where your Nuffinz come from, how they are produced, what is “inside” them, so to speak. And we are proud and happy that our production partner Egedeniz - a family business from Turkey with over 100 years of history - sees it the same way.
We not only maintain a lively exchange with this outstanding team, but we also regularly visit them in Izmir. We know the people, the production, the know-how and are partners on equal terms.
Egedeniz stands for innovative, environmentally friendly production processes , for first-class GOTS-certified organic cotton from local farmers and for fair social working conditions .
The family-run company's team - from the sewing department to management - places just as much value on sustainability as we do. So the next time you slip into your comfortable Nuffinz, remember: Quality is no coincidence at Nuffinz.

How much does the world cost?
We don't have an answer to this question. But we do have an answer to the question of why Nuffinz cost what they do. For example, because we use the best, GOTS-certified organic cotton that is grown in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way .
Or because our production processes are innovative and environmentally friendly .
Or because your Nuffinz are made by hand in many small steps.
Less water, fewer chemicals, less waste - this makes our Nuffinz a little more expensive, but also much more sustainable.
And the best thing is that our clothing is durable . Instead of cheap mass-produced goods that break quickly, you get robust and super comfortable favorite pieces that will last you a long time.
With Nuffinz you invest in fairness, sustainability and longevity .
Quality has its price, but you will feel the difference. Promised.
Just looking good isn't enough for us at Nuffinz. From the very beginning, Nuffinz founder Andreas wanted one thing above all else: that your Nuffinz are first-class from the first fiber to the finished product . This starts with our GOTS-certified organic cotton fabrics, continues with resource-saving production and ends, last but not least, with the social responsibility that we bear for you as a customer, our employees and our production partners.
Recycling , short transport routes and clever packaging are standard for us.
We develop ourselves and our materials further every year with each collection, continually testing new, innovative manufacturing processes and making many small and large adjustments. With the aim of being and becoming as sustainable as possible .
In short: We do our best every day to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible. We know that this journey never ends. But we know it is worth it.
