Production

this is how ooias are produced

A fair production and transparency are very important to us.

product development

In collaboration with her team, Kristine develops all new ooia products. When developing products, we rely not only on our internal knowledge but also on the expertise of other experts, such as gynecologists and chemists. As soon as an idea is born, we request materials from suppliers and test them for quality and usability in our Berlin office. Thereby, we work closely with our production development agency Good Garment Collective who are absolute professionals in the development of sustainable textile products.

fabric production

Transparency along the entire supply chain is a top priority at ooia: We track exactly where every single material comes from. Unfortunately, this transparency is not yet common practice in the textile industry. That's why we source all fabrics and materials for our ooia products ourselves. To keep our CO2 footprint as low as possible, we source our fabrics exclusively from Europe. (Note: the raw materials for our materials, on the other hand, do not all come from Europe, as this is not even possible for climatic reasons). When selecting manufacturers, we pay attention to the highest quality. All marked ooia products are certified and tested for harmful substances according to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® [21.0.46579 HOHENSTEIN HTTI]. This means that these ooias are certified skin-friendly and harmless to health.

cutting & sewing

The fabrics and materials are now sent to our sewing factories in Portugal, Lithuania and Croatia. Here, our fabrics are turned into ready-to-wear ooias. All sewing factories produce fairly according to ecological and ethical standards. Ecological standards include, for example, the prohibition of problematic additives and the minimization of waste water in the factories. Ethical standards are set, for example, by minimum wages and limits on working hours. We regularly visit our sewing facilities to check whether all standards are actually applied.

Quality Control & Shipping

The ready-to-wear ooias are then shipped to our logistics partner Moodja near Berlin. After passing quality control, they have to be packaged by Moodja. All our packaging is 100% plastic-free - from the beginning to the end of our supply chain.This allows us to avoid mountains of plastic waste that are usually generated by individually wrapping articles in plastic.
