Materials & Care
On this page we would like to show you why materials are so important to us and what you should pay attention to when caring for our garments. Please contact us at any time if you need any further information.
0 % polyester
Our garments are based on 100% natural materials and are free from petroleum-based fibers (polyester). In this way we avoid microplastics, dangerous textile waste and protect your skin.
Certified materials
When sourcing the materials, we pay attention to strict certifications. Our jersey fabrics are certified organic, the wool is mulesing-free and comes from animal welfare.
made for the cycle
Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Rot, Recycle! All our efforts have one sustainability goal: the circular economy.
Organic cotton
Fiber: Cotton is made from the seed hairs of the cotton plant. The cultivation of organic cotton produces around 46% less CO₂ than the cultivation of conventional cotton. Fertilizers and pesticides are banned, which protects workers, the air, water and soil from pollutants and preserves biodiversity. In addition, the organic cotton plant requires less water. Organic cotton is durable, easy to care for, very comfortable and biodegradable.
Care: Wash your organic cotton Sonho garment on a low spin at a maximum of 30° with similar colors. After washing, let it air dry to protect the fiber and the environment. If it comes out of the washing machine wrinkled or smaller, iron it on medium and it will stretch out again.
Linen
Fibre: Linen is a fiber obtained from the stalks of the flax plant. The fabric is very robust, hard-wearing and durable. Linen also has a breathable and cooling effect. Due to its bactericidal and antistatic properties, linen is also ideal for allergy sufferers. The flax fiber is one of the most environmentally friendly because it is natural and biodegradable.
Care: Wash your linen Sonho garment on a low spin at a maximum of 30° with similar colors. After washing, let it air dry to protect the fiber and the environment. If it comes out of the washing machine wrinkled or smaller, gently iron it to stretch it out again. Never bleach or chemically treat the piece.
Wool (Merino)
Fibre: We only use certified wool. In this way we ensure that the animals are kept in a species-appropriate manner and are not subjected to mulesing. Wool has temperature-regulating, self-cleaning properties and is breathable. It does not absorb odors, so a wool garment rarely needs to be washed. Wool is biodegradable.
Care: Wool is self-cleaning, please wash your wool Sonho garment as little as possible. Put it in the freezer or outside to remove odors. If you still want to wash, please select the hand wash cycle at 20° (wool doesn't like it hot), a wool detergent and a maximum spin speed of 600. Then let the piece dry lying down. Please don't shake or hang it.
copper
Fibre: Cupro is a vegetable fabric made from cotton waste. We use Bemberg™ Cupro, which is manufactured in a closed loop system. The production company AsahiKASEI works with 40% renewable energy, reduces CO₂ emissions and cultivates a 'zero-waste' culture. Cupro feels super soft and is often seen as a vegan alternative to silk.
Care: Wash your Sonho cupro garment on a low spin at a maximum of 20° with similar colors. Choose the wool or hand wash program and be sure to use liquid detergent. Curpo does not belong in the dryer: let it air dry after washing to protect the fiber and the environment. If necessary, iron the inside out (inside out) on a medium setting.
TENCEL™
Fiber: Tencel™ Lyocell fibers are made from sustainably grown wood. In the production of the yarn, the Lenzing company works with closed circuits in which solvents and water are recovered and reused. The fibers are biodegradable and can therefore be returned to nature.
Care: Wash your Sonho garment made of Tencel™ on a low spin cycle at 20° with similar colours. After washing, let it air dry to protect the fiber and the environment. If it comes out of the washing machine wrinkled or smaller, iron it on medium and it will stretch out again.
Down to the last detail, what does that mean?
It's not that easy to make a piece of clothing exclusively from (purely) natural-based materials.
A 100% organic cotton t-shirt? Available in stores - but often only because 3% of the fiber content does not have to be declared. And so it happens that with these products, labels and threads for embroidery or for sewing the individual parts together are very often made of polyester - and they are therefore not 100% plastic-free.
Not so with us! That's why we at Sonho Stories go down to the smallest detail: the threads are made of Tencel, the labels are made of organic cotton and the buttons are made of corozo nuts or regina.
Where it says 100%, it's also 100% !
