left over fabrics (cotton)

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. 

made in our langstrasse store by us

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
