Sustainable Fashion at The Odder Side

Sustainability is more than just a trendy buzzword for us – it’s our philosophy, mission, and daily practice. At The Odder Side, we believe fashion can be beautiful, functional, and responsible at the same time. But what exactly lies behind these words? How do we ensure our clothing harmonizes with nature and supports local communities? Here’s our story.

Fabrics That Make a Difference

Every collection begins with fabric selection, as this is the heart of our designs. We choose only those materials that have minimal environmental impact while maximizing quality. Organic cotton, TENCEL™, and linen – this is our perfect trio. Why?

Organic cotton uses significantly less water than traditional cotton and doesn’t require harmful pesticides. TENCEL™ is derived from wood cellulose, is biodegradable, and cool to the touch, making it perfect for warm days. Linen? A classic making a comeback – it grows quickly, requires little water, and its cultivation doesn’t degrade the soil. Every material we use is carefully chosen to be gentle on the skin and kind to the planet.

Production That Supports People and the Environment

Behind every dress or sweater we create are people – skilled artisans from local workshops. It’s in these family-run businesses that our designs come to life. We ensure working conditions are fair, and that employees can take pride in what they create.

The location of our production matters – by working with European factories, we reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation. Producing in small batches helps us avoid overproduction, which remains a major issue in fast fashion. Our motto? Quality over quantity, always.

co-Friendly Packaging – The Details That Matter

We want every step of your order – from product selection to unboxing – to align with our values. That’s why our packages are as eco-friendly as the clothes inside. We use recycled cardboard, compostable films, and FSC-certified paper for labels and tags.

Every element, even something as small as a ribbon or tissue paper, is carefully chosen to minimize environmental harm. For us, sustainability isn’t just about grand declarations, but also about attention to the small details that contribute to a bigger picture.

Certifications – Our Promise of Quality

We don’t expect you to take our word for it – that’s why we back our claims with international certifications. GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) confirms our clothes are produced according to the highest ecological and social standards. OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 guarantees that our materials are free from harmful chemicals.

The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification proves that our paper tags and packaging come from responsibly managed forests, and the BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) supports sustainable cotton farming methods. Each of these labels is more than just a formality for us – it’s a commitment to transparency and responsibility.

At The Odder Side, we believe that every decision, no matter how small, matters. That’s why we continuously seek new, better solutions – from innovative fabrics to even more eco-friendly production methods. We believe the future of fashion is circular, where every material gets a second life, and waste is minimized to zero.

By purchasing our clothes, you’re not just choosing style and quality – you’re becoming part of a larger movement aimed at protecting our planet. Together, we can transform the fashion industry to make it more people- and environment-friendly.

Every purchase is a decision that impacts the world. By choosing The Odder Side, you’re investing in clothes that will stand the test of time – both in style and quality.

Our vision?

A world where fashion is not a burden on the planet, but its ally.
