caring for organic cotton

can be washed by hand or with a washing machine (no warmer than 30 degrees if you want to make sure it does not shrink). you should not dry your cotton piece in a tumble dryer as it can shrink. you can remove stains with stain removers and iron as you please. important: never iron velvet! to iron velvet pieces, turn inside out.

what is organic cotton?

cotton is a true fabric classic. it can be worn as a t-shirt, socks, jeans and much more. cotton grows soft and fluffy around the seeds of cotton plants. it does not contain any synthetic compounds and is a very old fabric that has already been used many years ago. 

why love organic cotton?

cotton is super versatile - from a simple t-shirt to knit pants this fabric can do it all! a true classic than can easily be dyed and taken care of.

organic cotton production

1kg of organic cotton needs 8500l of water vs. conventional cotton needing 11500l. the conventional cotton industry is not a very pretty business. make sure to buy as organic as possible - organic cotton uses less water, pesticides, fertilizers, defoliants and growth regulators and is not grown in a monoculture. 

handmade by our team at our langstrasse store and atelier

based in: zurich, switzerland
founded by: AK & the collab team, 2017
products: anything fun

since day one collab has had its own products. this is also because the collab founder (anna-katharina) had a label before opening the store. from hand-painted tote bags to limited edition pants that were sewn in the collab atelier in the back of the store (which is now our office), we have always had a selection of our own limited edition products. when we also started collecting items from around the world, we needed a brand that would unite all of our creative adventures.
