SUSTAINABILITY

Oromo Atelier is committed to responsible processes from growing the cotton and dye plants to weaving, dyeing, washing and production, in Mali, Burkina Faso and Benin; to designing, sewing and marketing in The Netherlands. Responsibly sourced textiles come from small ateliers in Sub-Saharan Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali) where traditional dyes such as Indigo and mud are used. Oromo Atelier contributes to climate action by promoting a conscious way to sourcing and making products.

Oromo Atelier is a brand committed to quality by creating products that can be in use for far longer. Products can be repaired, upgraded, altered, and ultimately recycled as a high-quality material feedstock, rather than discarded as landfill.

Oromo Atelier sits at the center of the conversation around new (actually very old) forms of value creation by telling the stories of how indigo and mud cloth are made now following old regenerative traditions in Africa. Oromo Atelier communicates how textile traditions in West Africa can inspire the world a new way to produce beautiful fabrics without the use of fossil fuels.
