scrunchie - collab atelier edition
Description
these scrunchies are made by us in our langstrasse store by laura. we use left over fabrics from our own production or from pieces that are faulty or upcycled.
caring for tencel®
this fabric is quite easy to take care of - just make sure you wash it gently. not warmer than 30 degrees is just right. important: the fabric can shrink up to 5% in the first wash. please turn down the spin cycle on your machine. the fabric can leave streaks when it rubs against itself too much. you can either use a wash bag or wash it by hand. the best thing about it - you can hang to dry and you won't have any wrinkles!
what is tencel®?
tencel® is a soft fabric that feels softer than silk and smoother than cotton. it is made by the company Lenzing and often called lyocell or modal. it is produced in environmentally friendly processes from wood.
why love tencel®?
moisture is absorbed very well and transported to the surface - which is why the fabric dries super fast. is is also super soft so you'll forget you're wearing anything!
tencel® production
the production process is very sustainable - it is a closed loop for the used solvent and water. tencel is made by dissolving wood pulp and using a special drying process. before drying, the wood chips are mixed with a solvent to produce a wet mixture which is then pushed through tiny holes. the little spaghettis that come out are like threads, chemically treated and then spun into yarn and woven into cloth.
based in: zurich, switzerland
founded by: Anna-Katharina & the collab team, 2017
products: everyday items, limited editions & fun things
Since day one, collab zürich has always created its own products. Long before opening collab, founder Anna-Katharina already had her own label and loved turning ideas into physical pieces.
In the early days, many products were handmade directly in the collab atelier at the back of the store (which is our office today) - from hand-painted tote bags to limited edition pants that were sewn in the collab atelier. Over time, collab grew into more than just a store. It became a space for creative projects, collaboration, sourcing and storytelling.
Today, collab zürich is the name under which we create our own pieces - from T-Shirts and cuddle cloths to small everyday objects and postcards. Some pieces are produced by us in our atelier, others are developed together with partners and makers around the world. What connects them is the collab spirit: personal, playful and made to bring joy.
collab zürich stands for
fun - limited edition - personal
