ENSŌ X CRISP SHEETS AMERICANO SHIRT

Because this item has the GOTS certification, the production process used to create it uses less water than conventional cotton, preserving this scarce and precious resource for the future

This certified GOTS product is guaranteed to be treated without bleach, formaldehyde, or any other toxic substances and to be colored with nontoxic dyes

The organic certification by GOTS label ensures it contains at least 95% organic fibers and approved standards across the supply chain

Buying pre-owned items improves the sustainability of a garment. Research shows extending the average life of clothes (2.2 years) by just three months of using an item actively would lead to a 5-10% reduction in each of the carbon, water and waste footprints

A portion of Ensō's selection undergoes some kind of upcycling process before becoming a "new" unique piece of clothing

The GOTS certification also ensures ethical labor: this item has met requirements concerning working and social conditions that are equivalent to those of leading social sustainability standards based on the key norms of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. These are met in multiple steps in the value chain (all processors, manufacturers and traders that made this product)

Each of Ensō's products is curated and retouched (if needed) in their studio in Amsterdam

The brand hand-picks vintage pieces among thousands (yes, 1000+) garments: only a few will get the "wohoo!" feeling and come back home with the founders. Every item will then be carefully reviewed, cleaned, and repaired if needed

Since this item is preowned, the entire garment is made from waste that would otherwise be discarded, giving it a new life. Buying preowned helps to keep garments in the loop for longer creating a more circular fashion system
