How it's made

Supporting traditional skills

All products are made in the designers studio in the Netherlands by skilled tailors and Elsien herself. This way they are able to support and create work for a craftsmanship that in many ways is about to be forgotten. To choose this way of producing, Elsien is supporting local craftsmen, and are giving economic growth to her community.

Excellent working conditions

All tailors get fair pay for their work. The working process with the workers are close and open, and Elsien knows them all personally.

Reducing waste with Made to Order

All items are produced, on demand, not before you order them, which also saves the environment from overproduction

Elsien also focuses on highly innovative patterns, reducing the waste to the max. All Elsien Gringhuis’ design is built on the No Waste principle, trying to make a result of nearly no waste at all.

Low Carbon Footprint

By doing all her production in Holland, and sourcing her materials as close to home as possible, Elsien Gringhuis saves a lot of travel miles and carbon emissions in the production process.

Low Toxic

All coloring is controlled and done with use of minimal use of chemicals.
