BLUE COLLECTION: I USED TO BE A PAIR OF JEANS
Blue Collection is our recycled denim. One meter of fabric equals one pair of jeans. By giving old, discarded denim new life, we contribute to reducing the world’s textile waste. And we help create a circular life circle for a truly beautiful and authentic material. Learn more on the process here.
DOTTY: I USED TO BE A SWEATER
Dotty is our recycled wool fabric, composed of 50% high-quality remnants from the local textile district, including post-consumer textiles and clothing. By utilizing recycled wool, we can significantly reduce the need for virgin wool, dyes, and energy.

Responsibility. Sustainability. Two terribly long and heavy words. Yet these words are interconnected and simply crucial concepts to our planet, our children and generations to come. At KURAGE, we care, and we believe in change. So, we challenge ourselves to create long-lasting, durable collections. On top of this, most of our collections are manufactured from either recycled materials or recyclable mono fabrics.
We use recycled materials
HOW WE DO IT
We design to inspire, transforming recycled raw materials into long-lasting fabrics. Waste material or recycled bottles are collected and sorted, then processed and shredded into flakes. The polymer is extruded to create yarn, which is then treated to impart permanent flame-retardant properties. And voilà, a brand new, recyclable fabric is born.
SOURCED AND MADE IN EUROPE
Our fabrics are produced in Europe, including our very own facilities in the Baltics. We ensure that the collection, sorting, and processing of waste or by-products from previous productions occur within the same country as the production itself. With just one exception: the extraction of the polyester Trevira CS ECO feedstock is conducted in Germany before it’s delivered to our EU-based suppliers.
Natural certified
fabrics
We solely work with linen, recycled linen and other natural qualities, and no new cotton, when it comes to natural materials. Our focus is on easily recyclable mono qualities. In addition to this, we take the following measures:
Main part of our recycled products are certified according to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, class II. This is your guarantee that your KURAGE fabrics are completely free from any unwanted substances or chemicals.
All our recycled products are certified according to GRS (the Global Recycled Standard). This is your guarantee that your KURAGE fabrics are truly made from traceable, recycled materials.
