about us

At REPEAT we believe in the proper treatment of animals. The wool used in REPEAT products comes from farms that treat their animals with respect. In addition, we insist that all our suppliers can verify the origins of their raw materials, so that the paper trail for the supply chain is clear and complete. For ethical reasons we do not use genuine skins or angora materials.

Responsible and future-oriented action is also our aim from an ecological perspective. Resources must be protected for future generations, therefore we are acutely aware that they must be used sparingly at all levels. As a specialist in the area of high quality natural materials this begins in the meadow and the field. Compliance with local and national guidelines and laws are just the beginning. We are also extremely keen to reduce the use of chemical additives in the cultivation of the raw materials that we use and even to dispense with them altogether, where possible. Thus, you will always find fashionable tops in our collections that are made of organic cotton. In addition, we constantly monitor the use of water in production and we are committed to reducing this further.

Also, in the following production steps we are keen to keep the impact on people and nature as low as possible. In the production of our threads and yarns, in the textile fabrics and textile finishing, we aim to reduce the use of chemical substances and/or to dispense with them altogether. We work with leading manufacturers in the area of pure wool yarns and blends. The yarns are produced using modern technologies, always in compliance with ecological standards. The further development of these technologies and improvements in sustainability are continuously driven forward. The dying and finishing of the materials is also carried out in compliance with strict standards. Therefore, AZO colourants, which are known to be toxic, are not used in the manufacture of our products. Thanks to cutting edge technology and stringent safety requirements, we are able to meet our responsibility for employees and customers in this critical point of production, to ensure that their health is protected to the greatest degree possible. The responsible disposal of waste as well as a reduction in harmful CO2 emissions are further important aspects of our requirements.The constant investment in new technologies, the optimisation of processes and the responsible use of valuable resources are of the highest importance to us and to our partners. We encourage all our suppliers to take their ecological responsibility seriously and to introduce corresponding measures.

We at REPEAT are unequivocally against any form of cruelty to animals and the same applies for our partners and suppliers. No sheep whose wool is used in the production of a REPEAT article of clothing has had to suffer such torture. Our producers work with alternative methods that have been tested and approved by animal welfare groups, in order to protect the animals from the ravages of flystrike (myiasis).

The challenge when it comes to packaging materials is to ensure that the goods are transported safely whilst at the same time ensuring that the environment suffers as little as possible. We are working towards reducing the amount of packaging material. We instruct our employees at our headquarters and in our shops to separate and recycle all the reusable materials.

Our products are extremely special and often a gift for others or ourselves. Accordingly, we offer packaging that reflects the value of our products in transport. When ordering in our online shop you have the option of dispensing with any additional packaging material and can of course opt to send the article without extra gift packaging.

By buying from REPEAT you are also making a contribution towards sustainability. The excellent finishing and quality of all our products as well as their timeless design ensure that you will enjoy wearing our garments for many years, which is also a contribution to a sustainable lifestyle. And if you should eventually have to part with a piece, remember, wool is a sustainable, renewable product and 100% biodegradable.

REPEAT is committed to fair and respectful conduct towards its employees that is based on integrity and implements this at all levels of the supply chain. We categorically refuse to tolerate any form of discrimination with respect to race, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, social class, disability or political or trade union affiliation. These principles also apply for our partner companies.

We are aware that our business activities have an impact on the living and working conditions of our employees and customers, and on society as a whole. The production methods used are at the cutting edge of technology and therefore protect both our employees and the environment in which we live to the greatest extent possible.

We firmly believe that working conditions worldwide must comply with generally recognised human rights. It goes without saying that we categorically condemn the use of child and forced labour. Our employees and those of our suppliers work in a safe working environment. Health and safety is our highest priority. Thus, health and safety measures that meet international standards are implemented and strictly monitored. Employees have the right to form a trade union, to belong to a trade union and to hold joint negotiations. Salaries always conform with the statutory minimum requirements. Every employee is expected to receive a salary for the work rendered that is adequate to finance a dignified life, since this is an essential prerequisite for positive social development as a whole, which is very close to the heart of REPEAT.
