All handcrafted work is produced exclusively in Germany.
This means:
Higher labor costs, but a lower environmental impact through reduced CO₂ emissions.
Appreciation of skilled craftsmanship and fair working conditions.
Short transport routes and transparent production processes.
A little patience may be part of the process.
But no mass production. No overproduction. No disposable fashion.
Instead, each piece is created in its own time — thoughtfully crafted by hand and made to be cherished for years to come.

At Atelier Seigies, we work with high-quality materials, most of which carry recognized certifications such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) or OEKO-TEX®.
The internationally recognized GOTS certification identifies textile products that consist of at least 70% organically produced natural fibres and are verified throughout the entire production chain – from raw material to finished product – according to strict ecological and social criteria.
OEKO-TEX® is a globally standardized certification system based on comprehensive testing methods, criteria and limits for harmful substances. It certifies that textile products are safe for human health and free from harmful levels of potentially hazardous substances.

This means:
A more limited selection of materials.
But textiles produced according to ecological and social standards.

Merino Wool:
For our knitted collections, we primarily use GOTS-certified merino wool.
These pieces are crafted from 100% merino wool sourced from Merino sheep and spun by renowned Italian spinning mills. Merino wool is considered one of the finest and most luxurious wool fibres in the world.
This natural material is valued for its exceptional properties. It is naturally dirt-resistant, insulating, breathable and moisture-regulating.

Simply put:
You do not feel cold in merino wool — and you do not overheat in merino wool.
The yarn used for these pieces is distinguished by a special spinning process. Rather than being tightly twisted, it consists of a loosely spun and gently twisted single strand. This creates its characteristic soft, airy volume and cloud-like texture.
Due to its delicate structure, this yarn can only be worked by hand, making it particularly suitable for artisanal knitwear.

Care:
Frequent washing is neither necessary nor recommended.
As with other high-quality natural fibres, regular airing and gentle hand washing when needed are the preferred methods of care.
Some pilling may occur over time, even with premium merino wool. This is a natural characteristic of fine wool fibres and should not be considered a defect. Any pilling can easily be removed using standard methods such as careful brushing or gentle combing.
With proper care, merino wool garments can retain their beauty and comfort for many years.

The knitwear collections are made predominantly from merino wool. Only mulesing-free wool is used.

This means:
Higher material costs.
But no animal suffering.

Carefully crafted workmanship, thoroughly checked and tested.
This means:
Greater time and effort invested in production.
But durability and longevity.

Handcrafted, high-quality one-of-a-kind pieces are meant to be cherished – not thrown away.

To support this philosophy, Atelier Seigies offers:

Repair Service:
Should a mishap occur, matching repair materials will be available through me for at least five years, ensuring that your piece can be carefully restored.
