t7berlin: Sustainable 3D Knit Fashion from Berlin
editAbout Us
editt7berlin is an innovative knitwear brand based in Berlin that has been committed to sustainable, high-quality, and fair fashion since its founding in late 2019. Founded by Larisa Pitkevich, a textile engineering and business management expert, t7berlin aims to provide an environmentally friendly and socially responsible alternative to the fast fashion industry.
Key Products and Services
editt7berlin specializes in seamless 3D knitwear, produced using revolutionary technology that enables zero waste production. All knit pieces, from sweaters to dresses, are made in one piece, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum comfort. The designs take into account the anatomical three-dimensional body structure, resulting in a natural silhouette and eliminating the bulky shape typical of sewn knitwear[1][3][5].
Main Mission and Values
editt7berlin's mission is to provide fair, sustainable, and high-quality knitwear that meets the needs of customers and the environment. The brand's values include quality and durability, respect for the origin and biodegradability of the materials used, sustainable and transparent production processes, fair wages, and the preservation of jobs in small European factories[1][3].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editt7berlin is deeply committed to sustainability:
- Zero Waste Production: The 3D knitting technology ensures waste-free production.
- Local Production: All products, from yarn to labels, are made in the EU, allowing for short supply chains and reduced CO2 emissions.
- Natural Yarn: Only certified natural yarns that are plastic-free are used.
- Fair Production: t7berlin only works with family-run European manufacturers to secure jobs in the long term and preserve European craftsmanship.
- Flexible Production: Producing in small quantities prevents overproduction and unnecessary discounts, leading to fair prices for consumers[1][3][5].
Awards and Recognitions
editt7berlin has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Breakthrough Award 2020, the Green Concept Award 2021, the Wachstum.stark Award 2023, and a nomination for the Drapers Sustainability Award 2023. Additionally, t7berlin was included in the Top 100 Meaningful Business List 2023, highlighting its outstanding achievements in sustainability and social impact[2][5].
Future and Vision
editt7berlin's goal is to change people's mindsets and promote more fair, sustainable fashion. Through slower, sustainable growth and distribution via its own sales channels, the brand maintains control over quality and pricing. t7berlin strives to offer a fair alternative to mass production while empowering small European manufacturers to create a better, more sustainable fashion world[1][3].
