Sustainable clothing production in the Netherlands: from sketch to production

kledingproductie Nederland

Having clothing made in the Netherlands is more popular than ever. Local production offers quality, transparency, and sustainability — with short lines and small or medium-sized runs. In this article, you will read how Atelier Jungles translates your idea into a concrete, producible product.

Why have clothing made in the Netherlands?

  • Quality control close to home – direct contact, quick feedback, fewer mistakes.
  • Sustainable & transparent – less transport, fair production, visibility on raw materials.
  • Social impact – produced by a diverse team with craftsmanship in The Hague.
  • Customization & flexibility – sampling, small runs, and scalable production.

The process at Atelier Jungles

  1. 1) Advice & design

    We start with an (online) introduction. You share your vision, target audience, quantities, and budget. We translate this into a realistic schedule and a technical plan (materials, finishing, fit).

  2. 2) Sampling & fitting moments

    We develop a physical sample (with our own pattern or a new pattern). During a fitting, we fine-tune details — from fit to finishing — so that the product aligns exactly with your brand and quality requirements.

  3. 3) Production in our workshop

    After approval, we schedule production in our workshop in The Hague. We work with sustainable fabrics (e.g., organic cotton, Tencel, deadstock) and produce in small or medium-sized runs.

  4. 4) Finishing & quality control

    Labels, branding, packaging, and final inspection — everything is handled carefully. You will receive the collection shipped or you can pick it up at the studio.

Who is interested in clothing production in the Netherlands?

We work for brands, webshops, and organizations that want to produce locally and responsibly:

  • Start-up brands with an initial (capsule) collection
  • Fashion brands that want to scale sustainably with transparent production
  • Companies with workwear or sustainable merchandise

Material selection & sustainability

We advise on fabrics and notions that fit your product and footprint goals. Think of: organic cotton (OEKO-TEX), Tencel, deadstock, and Econyl (e.g., for swimwear). Short supply chains = less CO₂.

Practical tips: this is how to prepare your process smartly

  • Map out your target audience, sizing, and quantities.
  • Gather references (fit, finish, fabric feel).
  • Allocate time for feedback rounds during sampling.
  • Keep in mind the delivery time of sustainable materials.
