HOW LEBENSKLEIDUNG CAME ABOUT

HOW LEBENSKLEIDUNG CAME ABOUT

The idea for Lebenskleidung originated in 2008 when the founders Enrico and Ben were spending a semester abroad. In India, they experienced the working conditions in the textile industry firsthand.
It quickly became clear: the way textiles are produced cannot and must not continue. This realization led to the creation of Lebenskleidung – with the aim of making sustainable fabrics available by the meter and communicating them transparentl

LEBENSKLEIDUNG TODAY

Today, Lebenskleidung looks back on over 15 years of experience in the textile industry. During this time, we have learned to question processes, correct mistakes, and improve our offerings.
to develop it further consistently. Today we work in a more focused, economically conscious and service-oriented way than before. Instead of producing ever larger quantities for stock, we are increasingly focusing on demand-driven production,group orders and deadstock fabrics. Our aim is to use resources responsibly – both ecologically and economically.

Attitude & Values

Sustainability as practice

For us, sustainability does not mean perfection, but rather responsibility in everyday life: doing as much right as possible, remaining transparent – ​​and improving wherever we can.

Transparency & Knowledge

We share as much information as possible – from the fiber to the finished fabric. Understanding how textiles are made allows you to make better decisions.

Planning instead of overproduction

Through group orders, deadstock collaborations and demand-driven production, we try to keep surpluses and resource waste to a minimum.
