Sustainability and Care
All TERESA MAIR coat couture garments are designed and manufactured behind the small blue wooden door of a cozy courtyard atelier right at the heart of Innsbruck, Austria. So if you find yourself in that area with a tad of time on hand you should definitely pay us a visit and get to know us some time. Meanwhile, here’s a little taste: We are helpless suckers for premium quality materials of natural, organic, recycled, or innovative origin, and have a heartwarming devotion to locally-sourced and produced fabrics. That’s right: We get our organic linen from Upper Austria and the merino wool loden from adjacent Bavaria. And, holadriooo!!!, if for any reason the desired quality of the textiles or producers cannot be guaranteed, we like to draw on vintage textiles to guarantee our sustainability-driven standards are met. So, yeah, with your purchase you’re supporting not only us, but also local, honest businesses and the environment is what we’re sayin’. For that, thank you!
You will find specific information about the materials and producers we work with on the respective product page.
Materials and Care
Picture a happy couple of swans casually floating on a quiet pond at sunset. That’s you and your garment friend – life-long companions. Especially when your favourite sartorial partner has been made with love and respect. After all, we wear them close to our heart – metaphorically and literally – for roughly 15 hours every day. We let them touch our skin, change our mood, provide warmth and comfort. Thankfully, many of us are devoting more time to reassessing what we eat; But (!) we should also strengthen our awareness with regard to the materials we expose ourselves to. They have a much greater impact on our well-being than we seem to acknowledge. And, frankly, like to believe.
So at TERESA MAIR, we use the very best organic materials that are not only destined to become your lifelong partner in crime, but make life itself easier. But hoooow? We hear you wonder. Well, we only go for long-lasting, low-maintenance fabrics that promise never to fade or lose shape. Just make sure you don’t overdo it! Washing your clothes too often is not only a no-no when it comes to the environment (think water and energy), it also destroys the textile fibres. And who wants that? Mhm. Lucky you our materials don’t require much washing. #TGNW (Thank God No Washing)
Repair Service and Second Cycle
At TERESA MAIR, we have a one-year product warranty. Should you encounter any inconveniences or product defects, shoot us a message or return the product directly at the atelier so we can decide whether to repair or replace.
On an even better note: You can always return items from our coat couture collection that might need a little love even after the warranty period has ended. We will gladly guide and show you how to take care of your friend properly, do some mending at a fair price, or *knock on wood* hand it over to our trusted tailor. Just remember we’re happy to help so don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Oh, and btw: We’re always keen to hear your thoughts. Be it feedback on the collection, your overall experience, or just some friendly suggestions for improvement – we’re all ears!
