SUSTAINABILITY AT TAUS

At Taus, sustainability is not an initiative, it is a foundation.
We design clothing with care and with consequence: pieces that hold meaning, that last beyond a season, that carry weight in the world.

Ours is a slow process. One grounded in respect: for material, for time, for the people who shape each garment.

We do not claim perfection. The world has enough clothing.
But we believe in making fewer things, made better.

DESIGNING WITH PURPOSE

Sustainability begins at the sketch.
We design for longevity. Through quality, adjustability, and timeless form.
Our garments are made to evolve with the wearer. To move forward. To remain.

Each piece is crafted with wearability in mind: repairable, functional, and free from fleeting trends. We offer free repairs for all pieces bought from us, in case you'd like to enquire about repair services you can contact us.

PRODUCTION & MATERIALS

Most of our pieces are made in-house, in our Copenhagen studio.
This allows us to oversee every step of the process from first cut to final thread, and to uphold the standards we hold close.

When working with others, we choose small, family-run ateliers in Italy and across Europe like leather workers, and we make sure they align with our values. 

All pieces are made-to-order. We carry no excess stock, and every sample is archived or repurposed.
We use mono-materials where possible, and actively seek out upcycled and deadstock fabrics, materials that already exist in the world.

For our Autumn–Winter 2025 collection:
50% upcycled · 38.32% deadstock · 11.76% virgin materials

Traceability remains a challenge, particularly with deadstock. Still, we choose only verified sources and keep our footprint low, always.

LOGISTICS & PACKAGING

We minimize transport through local production and regional sourcing.
Land freight is prioritized over air. Returns are reduced through careful sizing tools and direct customer support.

Our packaging is plastic-free wherever possible. Recycled cardboard, natural fibers.
Only bespoke garments sent internationally are packaged in protective plastic, to ensure safe delivery.

PEOPLE & PRACTICE

We are a small studio: two full-time founders and one intern.
We work Monday to Friday, within humane hours, and we never outnumber our staff with interns.
Support, balance, and growth matter — inside our studio and beyond it.

We believe in representation.
Though our garments primarily serve women 30+, we are expanding our size range and deepening our understanding of inclusive and adaptive design — with plans to integrate these changes across all collections by late 2025.

We prioritize fair labor, small-scale production, and long-term partnerships with artisans.
Every person involved in our process is treated with respect and paid fairly.

YOUR ROLE

We see you — the wearer — as part of the cycle.

Mindful purchasing.
Caring for your clothes.
Passing them on when the time feels right.

We offer a care guide, complimentary repairs, and free trouser hemming to help your pieces live longer and fit better.
If you have questions, ask.
Transparency is part of our practice. So is progress.
