Grenz\/gang has its origins in Obermaiselstein in the German Allg\u00e4u.<\/span><\/span> Grenz\/gang is rooted in Eppan in South Tyrol.<\/span><\/span> The entire Grenz\/gang ‘Gang’ is now also at home here.<\/span><\/span> A team of designers, tailors, product developers and textile engineers has been working on the conception, development and marketing of textile innovations and solutions in Eppan since 2014.<\/span><\/span> The result?<\/span><\/span> Puristically individual collection, with attention to detail and elaborate tailoring.<\/span><\/span> Well, the team around Thomas Steiner and Heike Steinbauer has many years of experience in the textile sector.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Grenz\/gang cornerstones?<\/span><\/span> Regionality, sustainability and authenticity.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

It is unmistakable that the label has its roots in the Alps.<\/span><\/span> The collections with timeless designs are inspired by alpine tradition.<\/span><\/span> Implemented in a contemporary way with a clear focus on a sustainable approach to nature.<\/span><\/span> Therefore, natural and biodegradable materials from controlled organic agriculture and animal husbandry are used for the collections.<\/span><\/span> Wool from Tyrolean mountain sheep as natural padding for winter coats.<\/span><\/span> Without down.<\/span><\/span> Without synthetic padding.<\/span><\/span> Elbe wool from the far north of Germany.<\/span><\/span> Loden, knitwear, fleece made from organic cotton.<\/span><\/span> Pure nature.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Grenz\/gang\"<\/h2>\n

Grenz\/gang also uses recycled materials: their leather labels, for example, are made from sustainable, recycled sources.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The motto here is as little CO2 as possible.<\/span><\/span> Therefore, in addition to the use of sustainable materials, value is placed on short transport routes and local production.<\/span><\/span> Grenz\/gang aims to be a \u201clow kilometer\u201d label.<\/span><\/span> This means that the production facilities and most of the material suppliers are within a 5-hour radius of the central creative area of Bolzano.<\/span><\/span> The alpine-inspired collections are produced in a nostalgic factory in the Swabian Jura, in a tailor’s factory near Verona and in the in-house production facility in Eppan near Bozen.<\/span><\/span> In this way, the quality that is so important for Grenz\/gang can be guaranteed and at the same time regional work promoted and valued.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Slow, very slow, knitting qualities are produced on traditional machines in the Swabian Jura that are no longer possible on modern machines.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Another plus: With the short transport routes, the Grenz\/gang team can ensure that fair wages are paid and reasonable working hours are observed.<\/span><\/span> Social security and occupational health and safety regulations for your employees are a prerequisite for border crossings.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bye-bye, overproduction!<\/span><\/span> The collections are only available in limited, needs-based editions.<\/span><\/span> And as an answer to the mass production of textile waste on the conventional fashion market, Grenz\/gang has a limited zero waste collection on offer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Good to know: Sustainability is also a top priority when it comes to packaging for customers: it is biodegradable.<\/span><\/span> And because Grenz\/gang cannot be satisfied with individual results: Customers registered in the online shop can benefit from the cashback system introduced in 2022.<\/span><\/span> With every order, customers receive ten percent cash back.<\/span><\/span> Fair to the employees.<\/span><\/span> Fair to the customers.<\/span><\/span> Just fair fashion.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
