LangerChen has been a beacon for fair and sustainable fashion since 2013. Their specialty lies in eco outerwear that combines timeless aesthetics with sustainable materials and high functionality. Committed to reducing their ecological footprint, their products incorporate materials like organic cotton, eco-wool, Tencel, organic linen, and recycled polyester.
Founders Miranda Chen and Philipp Langer are revolutionizing the perception of ‘made in China’. With an ambition for environmentally-friendly and fair textile production in China, they established Jiecco, a textile factory. This foundation, combined with their passion for fashion and material expertise, led to the birth of LangerChen.
At the heart of LangerChen’s operations:
- A production facility an hour from Shanghai, pioneering sustainable fashion standards in China.
- Nearly 100 dedicated employees creating the sustainable collections, ensuring fair wages, good working conditions, and fostering a positive work environment.
- Their German office is located near Munich, while their Chinese team refines collections near Shanghai.
Jiecco, their GOTS-certified production facility, takes pride in:
- Setting standards for fair manufacturing and good working conditions in China.
- Developing their fabrics with emphasis on functionality, ensuring that jackets and coats provide warmth during cold winters and protection against rain and icy winds.
Their eco-friendly materials include organic wool, GOTS-certified cotton and linen, and Lyocell from sustainable forestry. When synthetic materials are essential, they opt for recycled polyester and nylon, bio-based nylon, and avoid perfluorinated compounds. Their packaging strategy has enabled them to reduce up to 90% of plastic packaging, emphasizing their commitment to the environment.
