Sustainable workwear made in the Netherlands

Looking for corporate clothing that fits your brand and is made responsibly? In our sewing workshop in The Hague, we produce small and medium-sized runs — from polos and sweaters to aprons and accessories — featuring (embroidered) branding in your corporate identity.

We work with quality materials, local production, and where possible sustainable choices. Whether you want to have “just” good corporate clothing made in the Netherlands, or also want to recycle or upcycle old clothing: we think along from sketch to final product.

What we make

  • Polos, T-shirts, sweaters/hoodies
  • Aprons & workwear (hospitality/retail/events)
  • Accessories: beanies, scarves, tote bags
  • Private / white-label production

We develop both fully custom and collections based on existing models. Always with attention to fit, wearing comfort, and appearance.

Branding options

  • Premium embroidery (wash-resistant)
  • Woven/printed labels & hangtags
  • Sustainable packaging in corporate identity

Also white-label & low MOQ possible if you want to start with an existing basic collection.

Who is this service suitable for

  • Hospitality, catering & hospitality
  • Retail & brands with a strong brand identity
  • Events, festivals, and cultural organizations
  • Companies with circular or sustainable ambitions

Whether sustainability is your main reason or not: with local production, good materials, and thoughtful design, you automatically take a step towards responsible workwear.

Why Atelier Jungles

  • Local & ethical: produced in The Hague, with transparent lines and a social workshop.
  • Good materials & sustainability: organic, recycled, or deadstock where it fits – always in balance with comfort, look & budget.
  • Flexible production: from pilot to ongoing production (low MOQ possible).
  • Custom-made: fit, color, finishing & branding tailored to your brand and type of work.

Why sustainable workwear?

Workwear is more than a uniform. It says something about your organization: how you treat people, materials, and the planet. Even if your top priority is quality, comfort, or brand image, a conscious approach brings these benefits as a bonus:

  • Reduce your textile waste and CO₂ emissions through better materials and longer lifespan.
  • Strengthen your brand story towards customers and employees with clothing that aligns with who you are.
  • Prepare for regulations such as UPV Textiles and reporting obligations.
  • Invest in quality that lasts longer than standard fast fashion workwear.

How we make workwear circular

Not every organization wants to immediately embark on a fully circular journey. That’s why we build our processes modularly: from “just” good workwear from a Dutch workshop to fully circular workwear with a take-back program.

At Atelier Jungles, we translate this into three pillars:

  • Sustainable materials: organic, recycled, or deadstock textiles where it makes sense.
  • Modular designs: components that can be repaired, adjusted, or reused.
  • Take-back & processing: agreements on what happens to old workwear.

This creates a circular clothing flow when you are ready for it – but you can also start with step 1: locally produced, quality workwear that lasts for years.

Recycling corporate clothing: what we do with old clothing

Many organizations have cabinets full of old corporate clothing: outdated logos, colors, or collections that are no longer used. Throwing them away is a waste. If you want, we help to process this clothing stream responsibly:

  • Collection & sorting: together we determine which items are suitable for reuse, recycling, or upcycling.
  • Recycling partners: where possible, we have textile fibers recycled into new raw material.
  • Safe processing: logos, emblems, or sensitive details can be made unrecognizable if desired.

You get a clear overview of what happens to your old corporate clothing, so you can include this in your sustainability reporting or impact story.

Why upcycling is often better than buying new

Upcycling goes a step further than recycling: we transform existing materials into new, high-quality products. This is especially interesting if you want to make impact visible for employees and customers.

  • Fewer raw materials: we use what already exists instead of producing new.
  • Lower environmental impact: less water, energy, and transport.
  • Unique brand experience: employees and customers truly carry your story.
  • Financially interesting: existing materials often form a valuable raw material.

Think of old jackets being transformed into bags, poufs, or new elements in your corporate clothing. Upcycling is an additional module within your corporate clothing process – not mandatory, but a powerful option.

Examples from practice: hospitality, retail & events

We work for brands and organizations that want to go a step further than "a standard polo with logo." A few examples of projects where corporate clothing, interior, and upcycling come together:

Upcycled lunch bags – Deliveroo

Deliveroo — upcycled lunch bags

From old rider bags to new, recognizable lunch bags. A circular product with a strong brand story.

Interior upcycling – ImpactCity

ImpactCity — interior & workplaces

Furniture reupholstered with recycled yarn and leftover materials. An inspiring, circular work environment.

RDW – poufs from old work clothing

RDW — poufs made from work clothing

Over 100 kg of old work clothing converted into 21 poufs for various locations. Visible impact for employees and visitors.

Locally produced in The Hague

All our workwear is made in our own sewing workshop in The Hague. That means:

  • Fair production with attention to people & craftsmanship.
  • Short lines: direct contact with the workshop, no anonymous factory far away.
  • Fast turnaround time and adjustments where necessary.
  • Transparency: you know exactly where and how your workwear is made.

You can start small and scale up later. This way, your workwear line grows with your organization.

How we collect & process old workwear

If you want to do something with existing stocks in addition to new workwear, we can set up a separate stream for old clothing. This is what a process usually looks like:

  1. 1

    Inventory & collection

    We map out which workwear is currently being worn and which old clothing is lying in closets or warehouses. We then organize a structured collection.

  2. 2

    Design & circular strategy

    We determine which items are reused, recycled, or upcycled and develop a suitable workwear line or product range that aligns with this.

  3. 3

    Production & reporting

    Locally made workwear rolls out of the workshop, while old clothing is processed through our partners. You receive insights into quantities and impact, useful for sustainability reports.

Frequently asked questions about (sustainable) company clothing

Does our company clothing need to be fully sustainable or circular?

No. Some clients primarily choose local production, quality, and a good fit. Others also want to add recycling or upcycling. We structure the process so that you can start with what suits you – and later easily add steps.

What do you mean by sustainable company clothing?

Sustainable company clothing means that we consider material choice, production sustainability, lifespan, and what happens to the clothing at the end of the cycle from the design stage. We work with quality fabrics and offer options for take-back, recycling, and upcycling.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

For clothing, the minimum order quantity is usually between 25 and 50 pieces per style. For workwear, this is often between 20 and 40 pieces, and for accessories between 25 and 100 pieces. In some cases, custom work can start from 10 to 25 pieces after a production consultation.

Can you recycle or upcycle old company clothing?

Yes, if you want. We assist in the collection and sorting of old company clothing and determine which items are suitable for reuse, fiber recycling, or upcycling into new products such as bags, poufs, or interior items. The processed quantities can be used in sustainability reports.

Do you also work for smaller organizations?

Yes. We work for both larger organizations and for start-ups and small brands. Thanks to low minimum quantities, you can have a pilot or first collection made without significant inventory risks.

How long does the process take from the first idea to delivery?

For existing models or simple orders, you can often deliver within 4–6 weeks. For custom work with patterns and samples, the process takes longer. On average, you should expect a few weeks to a few months, depending on complexity, feedback rounds, and quantity.
