Telalibre our drive

I think back to my grandmother Veronika. I see her sitting at her old Singer sewing machine. 

The foot drive of the old sewing machines is not that loud and makes a pleasant almost meditative sound. I sat by in amazement, fascinated by their work and wondering how such a strange machine could be used to make such great fitting clothes.

These childhood memories encouraged me many years later to found TELALIBRE.

I became more and more outraged about the disastrous production conditions and the rampant consumerism in the textile industry. 

Conventional textile industry today means: massive environmental problems due to toxic waste water and enormous amounts of plastic waste, unfair working conditions and monopolisation through aggressive price wars.

With TELALIBRE we would like to offer an alternative.

Our textiles are produced sustainably with the greatest possible care.

All our products are made from natural materials from organic cultivation or from recycled, certified fabrics.

Our aim is to produce the largest possible quantities regionally.

But even with imported goods, we guarantee fair working conditions and organic, sustainable cultivation. The production line of all our products can always be traced back.

With TELALIBRE, we want to give textiles a better reputation again.

Because behind the product are many people whom we respect and whose work we appreciate.
