MELA is Hindi and roughly translates to "acting together". True to our motto, we work with selected artists. They enrich our collections with their artworks, resulting in limited editions of wearable art. The printing is done on our Tanika style: The relaxed fit and longer sleeves ensure a casual look. The light jersey, made from 100% Fairtrade organic cotton, is soft, breathable and thus perfect for summer.

If you like this style, it's meant for you. We believe that everyone can wear our clothes, regardless of gender stereotypes.

For sustainability reasons, we do not use elastane for cuffs and hems. This means that your garment may stretch in these areas when worn and will return to its original shape after washing.

We recommend washing this t-shirt at 30° on a delicate cycle to prevent shrinkage and maintain its beautiful appearance. Washing your laundry at lower temperatures and air-drying saves energy and money, helping you minimize your ecological footprint.

All MELA textiles are triple-certified according to Fairtrade Cotton, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and the Grüner Knopf (Green Button) seal. In our opinion, the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other perfectly, allowing us to confidently speak of holistically sustainable textiles.
