Product requirements and information

For our VAN GRAAF own brands and in our collaboration with brand partners, we consider defined requirements relating to quality and materials. Depending on the product, additional requirements relating to materials, textile labels or other standards may apply.

In selected areas, we supplement statutory and established industry requirements with additional internal requirements. We provide product information on relevant materials, composition and other defined product attributes where applicable.

Quality in Focus

Quality and durability are important elements of our product approach. When selecting materials and components, we consider defined quality requirements.
Selected products from our VAN GRAAF own brands undergo a structured testing process. Our quality management team carries out tests in our in-house laboratory and together with external partners. We use the results to assess the tested products against defined criteria.

Materials of Animal Origin

For selected materials of animal origin, we consider defined requirements as well as external standards and verification systems.

Textile Labels and Standards

For selected products, we provide information on external textile labels and standards. These may relate to specific materials, material shares, processing stages or other defined product attributes.

The applicable requirements and the part of a product covered depend on the individual system and its scope. We use logos, names and accompanying statements in accordance with the applicable usage and communication requirements.

Overview of Certificates and Initiatives

Ensuring safety with high standards.

Premium fashion for people is our passion. We guarantee our customers that their clothing is free from harmful substances. It is a standard that we also demand from our suppliers. They are obliged to deliver textiles that are harmless to health and meet strict statutory product requirements.

Compliance with these guidelines is regularly and diligently verified in specialized laboratories. As a result, our products ensure our customers not only a sense of style but also safety.

Protecting animal welfare with respect.

Animal products such as down, fibers, or wool increase the comfort of a garment and add value to the textiles. However, for VAN GRAAF, the raw materials must be procured under conditions that respect animal welfare. Therefore, we do not use down products from live-plucked cultivars. At the same time, we also entirely forego goods made of angora wool. Our membership in the Good Cashmere Standard Initiative confirms that we prefer cashmere from animal-friendly breeding.
