Made-To-Order
The Elsien Gringhuis collection is all made-to-order from their studio based in the Netherlands. This decision is an effort to only to produce the minimum required garments, and prevent any overstock or over production. It also enables Elsien Gringhuis to support local tailors and craftsmen, and limits the negative environmental impact of globalised mass-production.
“Because things are made on the other side of the world people lose the connection...The awareness that everything is connected is crucial in the change towards a fair, sustainable and balanced world.” -Elsien Gringhuis, Founder & Designer
