ARMEDANGELS

From a single tee and a naively idealistic dream in 2007, we’ve journeyed far. Now, with over 150 employees from 28 countries, whose energy and passion drove this company into existence, we are continuing to manifest the belief that everyone can change the world. In 2023, the world saw its hottest year ever, with temperatures 2.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. In the midst of polar ice melting, forest fires and rising emissions, the climate crisis is undeniable. In response, we need to change the system, taking bold steps to transform the garment and fashion industry from within. We achieved several milestones in 2023: doubling our use of recycled materials, finally transitioning 500 farmers from the Organic Cotton Farmers Association in India from conventional to organic cotton, reducing our product's average carbon footprint to 9.08 kg CO2e, collaborating with AI expert paretos to combat overproduction, and maintaining our Fair Wear Foundation leader status. Discover the entire journey in our 2023 Action Report.  https://lnkd.in/e-wfi5ij #madetomakeadifference

Last week, we held our official Collection Handover for the stunning Spring25 collection. You know what that means: the ceremonious beginning of Sell-In. Our Wholesale Team is on fire, gearing up to present the upcoming highlights to kick off 2025 in style. You can catch them and the collection in all its glory at the Düsseldorf Fashion Days (July 25-31) and at the Amsterdam PREVIEW (July 8). As always, sustainability and transparency are at the heart of what we do. Spring25 focuses on nature-based materials, non-toxic dyeing processes, and, for the first time ever, a digital product passport. Consumers can scan a QR code on the care label to directly access detailed product information, including production partners, origin country, fabric supplier, material composition, recyclability, circularity information, and the carbon footprint. Featuring a relaunched DetoxDenim range and chic silhouettes with the highest levels of comfort, there's a favorite style for everyone (trust us, we've asked around). We can't wait for these products to hit your shelves and find their loving forever homes.

Last week, despite the average temperature being around 18 degrees, we held our annual summer party (oh, the irony). We still maintained our summery mindset and good vibes, celebrating the day (and night) together. After the quarterly meeting in our office showroom, we made our way to an amazing event location with a beautiful outdoor space, a roomy dance floor, and the most delicious food and drinks. Of course, we would not miss Germany playing in the quarterfinals of the European Championships. We didn't let the result get us down and continued celebrating with some amazing live music. Are you now thinking, "I wish my summer party looked this fun 😫"? Check out our current open positions! You could be partying with us at the next one.

Picture this: It's a normal Thursday. The first floor of the office is quieter than usual. The first few benches to the right are empty, workstations deserted, no phones, coffee cups, or headphones in sight. That can only mean one thing: the company's biggest team has left the building and is on tour. A few days ago, our E-com Team had their quarterly team event and released their inner artists. True to one of our core values, "Grow to Matter," they painted the most beautiful designs on plant pots, in which their flowers or house plants will soon flourish and prosper. We surely witnessed some hidden talents being unearthed, but most importantly, the team got to enjoy each other's company, accompanied by some cold drinks, and delicious food.
