Maloja

Why is Maloja a WIR DENKEN UM brand?

Since the company’s founding, ethics, sustainability, respect for people and nature, along with a responsible approach to all partners, have been priorities. As a WIR DENKEN UM brand, Maloja stands out in the following ways:

- The company is committed to accountability throughout the supply chain and is dedicated to responsible purchasing

- It prides itself on ecologically friendly, resource-saving production

- Maloja has most of its production in the EU with short transport distances and has a production facility of its own

Out and about in nature with a clear conscience

Accountability for what we do – or don’t do – is not a new trend for Maloja, but rather a matter of course. "Soul in the woods" was the theme of the first collection and became the leitmotif of Maloja’s Bavarian brand, which chose its headquarters in a modernized farmhouse in Rimsting, Bavaria. "The desire to be out and about in nature with a clear conscience spurs us on to minimize the impact on nature. However, values like honesty, authenticity, respect and decency are just as important to us." That is why Maloja operates its own production facility in Bulgaria. A total of 70 percent of the company’s products are manufactured in Europe. To promote fair working conditions, Maloja collaborates with amfori BSCI – a global pioneering organization for socially responsible production – and selects materials that are certified, for example, by bluesign®, thus ensuring the responsible use of resources.

"EVERY DAY FOR A GOOD MORROW"

Spring | Summer Collection 2024 - moments of arrival

There are moments of arrival, rest and awe-inspiring enjoyment. We’ve paid tribute to these in many of our annual themes. However, just like for many people and businesses, there’s change in the air. Over 30 Maloja children have come into the world since the company was founded in 2004. What contribution can and must we make so that these children and future generations still have a planet worth living on?

Climate and societal change are a mandate for everyone to strive harder – including ourselves. A Puzzle collection using leftover materials. The “Second Love” initiative for used clothing which brings new happiness to others. A repair service for damaged clothing, as well as our own commuter line which promotes coming to work by bike. The increased use of natural, undyed and recycled fibres. And whenever styles allow a multi-sport use, we make it known to gradually reduce our collection. Even in terms of design, we’ve been inspired by upcycling aesthetics to create something beautiful and new out of things carelessly thrown away. The more serious the issue, the more important it is for us to be guided by attentive and activating confidence. In German, the same word is used for daybreak and the next day: Morgen. In English, we turned it into “Good Morrow”.

It stands for the confidence to face the challenges of tomorrow already today. Never before have we understood an annual theme so unmistakeably as an appeal to ourselves. Never before have we invested more passion to implement this theme as consistently as possible across our collection, because today’s new clothing will be what we’ll throw away or even recycle in years to come. Our new collection is an invitation to see yourself and ourselves as part of a movement to do some good for this planet. Small steps. Every day. Together. For a good morrow!
