Why we do it

In an industry stained by exploitation of workers and the planet, ethical malpractice, and lack of integration of the whole value chain, we aim to make things a bit different. We openly let our clients know everyone involved in the process, we partner up with small local manufacturers to stimulate the local economy, we promote a healthy work environment and we place sustainability at the top.

Commitment to Sustainability

Over 60% of our production’s raw materials are according to REACH standards and we make sure that any toxic or restricted substance will not be present in products. We always explore and use the most sustainable materials possible: Organic cotton, Hemp, Eco- friendly EVA and silicone, Biodegradable PLA and FSC certified recycled paper. All organic and recycled materials we use are certified and we can provide relevant test reports (e.g. GOTS, Oeko-Tex).

Dedal Genial

“Dedal”, the Portuguese word for “Thimble”, is a small pitted cup worn on the finger that protects it from being pricked or poked by a needle while sewing. It is nearly as old as sewing itself, and has been in use since the 10th century.
A symbol of the art of handcrafted clothing, a symbol of careful sewing, a symbol of care for both clothing and workers. And these are the values we strive for at Dedal Genial – care, comfort, handmade luxury and sustainability for all – from workers to consumers.
