Sustainability and ethics

Teja Kodre, KarminaI base everything I do on sustainability and ethics. From selecting eco-friendly fabrics to choosing how we produce each item, I make conscious decisions to protect people and the planet. When you shop with Karmina, you support fashion that puts values first — not just trends.

I work transparently, maintain fair working conditions, and craft every garment in our small workshop in Branik. I handle every step ourselves: e cut, sew, and finish each piece with care. This hands-on approach lets me create high-quality, timeless clothing you’ll wear for years.

Because my customers shop with intention and trust our process, they rarely return items. That tells me my approach works — for the planet, for you, and for a more conscious future.

Handmade Fashion Backed by Ethics

I create every piece by hand. Nothing leaves my studio without passing through my hands — from the first cut to the final stitch. As a result, each item is unique and made with love.


Capsule Wardrobe, Conscious Choices

I design clothing that fits into your ethical capsule wardrobe. With simple lines, natural fabrics, and a muted color palette, Karmina pieces work together across seasons. This way, you build a wardrobe that’s both beautiful and practical.


Made to Order, Made to Last

I only start making most pieces once you place your order. This helps me avoid overproduction and reduce waste. You receive a garment made specifically for you — not one pulled from a shelf. This approach reflects both sustainability and ethics in action.


Turning Scraps into Treasures

Instead of throwing fabric scraps away, I turn them into something new. From headbands to keychains, I give every leftover piece a second life. In doing so, I  stay true to my mission: nothing wasted, everything valued.


Natural Fabrics, Real Impact

I choose fabrics that care for both your skin and the earth. Materials include linen, ramie, cotton with elastane, bamboo jersey, viscose, and deadstock fabric. These natural and rescued textiles support my commitment to sustainability and ethics — while keeping you comfortable every day.
