Zimtstern - Functional, Stylish, Sustainable Apparel

Founded 1995 in Switzerland by snowboarders, the apperal company Zimtstern focuses on quality, functionality, style, and sustainable production processes. Zimtstern's DLX line incorporates 100% recycled polyester backing and meets the Bluesign standard. The Bluesign standard is an approach to product sustainability that considers textile environment, health and safety issues from the ground-up, addressing the use of toxic-free ingredients, efficient production and resources, and informed product and process design. Since its development, the standard has been adopted by a number of worldwide textile manufacturers and apparel companies. Certified mills that comply with the standard are more efficient and have less environmental impact, while their operations comply with worker health and safety standards. The bluesign standard is the strongest global solution available to proactively address textile environmental, health and safety strategy.

Zimtstern will be available at the following US retailers next winters: D&E Aspen, Buckeye Ohio, EVO Seattle, and Dogfunk.com. In the mean time check them out at www.zimtstern.com.
