ECO-COMMITMENT
The textile sector is the second most polluting industry in the world. The creation, production, and transportation of clothing have been costing the planet dearly for decades.
And while a global awakening seems to be on the horizon, the textile industry has never been so polluting.
At our level, and with all the humility of a young brand, we wish to go against the dictates of a sector that pushes for ever more creation and inevitably more consumption and pollution.
Free from the codes of fashion, TALC offers a permanent collection enhanced with new colors, materials, and models to suit our desires and our encounters.
Our sole obsession: to offer you clothes that make you feel good without neglecting their impact on our environment.
To take care
-
Simple, clean and durable clothing.
Clothes that we wear every day, without makeup or guilt.
Fair prices that respect growers and manufacturers and that democratize access to quality, eco-responsible fashion.
No excesses, no snobbery, no race for creation.
No plastic. Eco-friendly packaging and consumables.
And of course, the use of natural and artificial fibers (be careful, not synthetic!) produced without pesticides.
Water-saving, environmentally friendly and sustainable eco-materials.
Produce with reason
-
Our clothes are made in the north of Portugal. This is where the best European know-how in weaving, knitting and tailoring is found.
The workshops or small factories with which we collaborate are selected not only for their professionalism but also for their social and environmental commitments.
We visit them regularly to control our productions but also to maintain a human link with the bosses and the workers.
The rate of production depends on the state of our stocks. We manufacture small quantities, around a hundred pieces per model/colour, in order to guarantee a constant turnover and to avoid overproduction.
Eco-material
Tencel™ lyocell
TENCEL™ Lyocell is made from fibers produced by the Austrian company Lenzing. Its exceptional fiber is produced from wood pulp, mainly eucalyptus (FSC sustainably managed forests).
Unlike ordinary cotton cultivation which requires an intensive irrigation system, Tencel™ requires little water. In addition, Tencel™ produces 10 times more material than ordinary cotton per hectare cultivated.
It is a healthy, breathable and resistant fabric, comparable to silk. Its refreshing effect makes it particularly pleasant to wear.
Eco-material
Supima™ cotton
Softer, stronger, and silkier than conventional cotton, Supima cotton is considered the world's most premium cotton. Its cultivation is strictly controlled, only permitted in Texas and California, and it is sourced from environmentally responsible agriculture.
Pima (name given in homage to the Indians of the same name) is a cotton with extra-long fibers.
Supima (for "superior Pima") represents 1% of Pima production. With fibers 35% longer than average, Supima cotton is a guarantee of rare and exceptional quality.
Eco-material
organic cotton
Organic cotton is a breathable, soft and wrinkle-resistant material.
It requires 10 times less water than conventional cotton (source: WWF study for C&A). Only natural fertilizers are authorized to promote its cultivation.
Therefore, organic cotton is much more respectful of the environment and the health of workers.
It is also more durable because its fibers are better preserved and are not damaged by chemical treatments, which are systematic during the production of ordinary cotton.
