Katla’s debut collection features an assortment of items crafted from organic cotton, regenerated cellulose fabrics, cruelty-free wool and recycled synthetics. The brand does not use leathers, furs or silks. All Katla pieces are manufactured in the US via made-to-order, or small production runs, in order to eliminate over production and waste. Further, Katla has strategically partnered with innovative and mindful manufacturers across the US, including one in Alabama, which are pioneers in innovative production, prioritising sustainable practices and positive working conditions.
Katla offers full transparency into the effect of its clothing on the environment; each item includes a unique code so that customers can verify its impact on the world - from its conception to arrival at doorstep - with customers receiving orders in a few days or less.
“Many women consider sustainability to be important when shopping for clothing and yet fashionable options are limited. Katla garments are beautiful and good to people, animals and the planet. The impact of fashion on the environment is increasingly understood to be a big problem. Katla wants to be part of the solution. We believe clothing can be fashionable and environmentally-friendly. We are excited to help women be beautiful and responsible at once,” Magnúsdóttir said.
