This asymmetrically cut, unlined wrap dress Christiane Strobel makes from skin-friendly cotton from controlled organic cultivation. The fabric, a twill, is grippy with a visible twill ridge. The dress closes with a bar and two buttons, and the two welt pockets in the side seams hold small items for everyday use. Distinctive details include the hand-embroidered triangle at the back-tie and the paper buttons, which are handmade in Japan. The dress can be worn either more casually without or figure-hugging with the tie belt made of outer fabric. Combined with a T-shirt or blouse underneath you are perfectly equipped even on cooler days.Slow instead of fast fashion. Christiane Strobel"Longevity is the best kind of sustainability," says Christiane Strobel, founder of Christiane Strobel Constant Clothing. The Cologne-based label produces fair fashion from natural materials that easily outlasts short-lived trends thanks to its quality and timeless design. Christiane Strobel lives sustainability at all levels. The collections, which are created as part of a social project in Morocco, mainly use wool and GOTS-certified cotton, which are produced and processed with consideration for the environment and the people involved in the processes. Transparency is guaranteed along the entire supply chain. Christiane Strobel's trademark is the back of each item of clothing with hand-embroidered triangles, the so-called "darts", some of which have traditional Fassi-style embroidery. This makes each item, whether trousers, dress, T-shirt or jacket, unique with the "signature" of the embroiderer and her name.Fair from the ground upThe collections are produced by Sitaara Couture and AlNour Textiles, two cooperating social enterprises in Marrakech. They employ women with physical disabilities who would have little or no chance of finding a job in the regular labor market. The working conditions there are exemplary - from fair pay and individual health benefits to a pleasant and equal working environment in which the employees are challenged and supported in their personal and professional development. Not only are they trained, they also receive additional courses in reading, writing, basic arithmetic and IT basics. There is a daycare center and free meals - and the women are also provided with transportation between the workplace and their homes. In short: Christiane Strobel pursues a corporate culture that many other employees in the clothing industry can only dream of.General product information
