Colorful fashion

It is a long way from fabric to outfit. We are there from the beginning. Our design team creates two lively and individual collections every year, with great attention to detail. Our focus is on sustainability and ecology. We are GOTS-certified and mainly use fabrics in organic quality. Our many years of experience in the fair fashion industry have shown that garments produced in a resource-saving way can contribute to a positive change. Producers receive adequate wages and work under fair conditions. Our GOTS seal not only stands for high-quality raw materials, but also for very good production conditions. The personal contact to our producers has become a friendship over the years. We appreciate the close connection to our producers and look forward to a trip to our local tailors every year.

Individual feel-good oases

Our lifestyle range includes everything you need to conjure up an oasis of well-being out of your home. The diverse selection ranges from colorful to simple. Our product designers: inside choose the highlights with a careful eye and inspire you with great accessories. The TRANQUILLO range is produced all over the world. The manufacturers work under high social standards. Some of the factories are traditional companies that are now in the 5th generation. The responsible use of nature is very important to us. That is why we are constantly working on new ideas to make your range even more sustainable. Fair trade is our top priority. Artemployees from all countries earn an adequate income.

We also pay attention to sustainability in the lifestyle area. Our kitchen and home textiles as well as bags and cosmetic bags are GOTS certified. All of our carpets carry the GoodWeave® seal. This guarantees fair wages for the workers and ensures that no child labor occurs in the factories. We are constantly working on new ideas to make your everyday life even more sustainable.

From second hand to fair fashion

In the past, the TRANQUILLO was a small store in the new town of Dresden, where you could find cheerful little things from all over the world, colorful fleece jackets and long velvet robes. You could also search for unusual items that were waiting on the poles for their new owners. In the TRANQUILLO you could always find special clothes as well as all kinds of little things to give to your friends. Whoever came near the store, sniffed it already from a distance. Because in the front area of the store countless incense sticks were lined up, so that one felt a little bit like at an oriental bazaar.

It was beautiful! But it should be different somehow. It should remain colorful and fair too. But maybe one day you could even produce your own clothes fairly from ecologically sound materials? These thoughts drove Christian Amthor and Michael Kremer, who have been running TRANQUILLO together since 2003. The two could hardly be more different, but they are united by their enthusiasm for bringing new ideas forward - and both often look at "things that have always been like this" with a wink. Once Christian and Micha have set their minds to something, the goal is clear - the path, on the other hand, can be made colorful - just like TRANQUILLO.

Tranquillo in the world

Wir betreiben mehrere Filialen. We now operate nine shops, our furniture sales in Dresden and an online store in which almost exclusively our own lifestyle and fashion collections can be found. We also supply other retailers in various countries with our products. This development makes us happy and drives us forward. We are especially proud to have received the GOTS certification ourselves as a company. This allows us to show that the production chain, starting with our equally certified manufacturers and ending with us in Germany, is complete and that sustainability aspects are fully taken into account.

We are proud of the fact that over the years we have succeeded in establishing a long-term orientation and a trust-based cooperation. We are happy about the great feedback from our customers and hope that we can continue to develop together towards a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.

GOTS - The worldwide established Eco-Standard

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the internationally applied standard for the processing of organically produced natural fibers. The GOTS standard ensures safety and hygiene conditions in production facilities, ensures compliance with social criteria such as fair wages and defines environmental requirements along the entire production chain. The majority of our collection is certified with the GOTS seal. Not only our producers are certified with the GOTS seal. Also as a company we carry this seal. This enables us to show that the production chain is closed, starting with our producers and ending with us, and that all sustainability aspects are taken into account comprehensively. Our license number is: CU844876. You can find us in the GOTS database, in which all certified companies are listed.

Good Weave®

Das GoodWeave ®  Gütesiegel zeichnet handgefertigte Teppiche unter Einhaltung der sozialen Standards aus. Das Teppichsiegel GoodWeave ®  wurde von indischen Nichtregierungsorganisationen, deutschen und internationalen Hilfswerken, sowie der GTZ (Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit GmbH) initiiert, um Kinderarbeit in Indien und Nepal abzuschaffen und stattdessen den Kindern den Zugang zu Bildung zu gewähren. Es steht außerdem für die Berücksichtigung sozialer und ökologischer Standards wie beispielsweise faire Löhne, sichere und hygienische Arbeitsbedingungen sowie angemessene Arbeitszeiten der Teppichknüpfer:innen. Jedes Siegel von GoodWeave ®  ist mit einem Code versehen. Mithilfe dieser Codes kann nachvollzogen werden, woher jeder einzelne Teppich kommt. Die Gebühren für die Zertifizierungen zahlen die Exporteure und Importeure und finanzieren damit die Kontrollen der Sozial- und Bildungsprogramme.

Organic Cotton

Für unsere Mode verwenden wir Biobaumwolle. Biobaumwolle ist ein nachwachsender Rohstoff, dessen Verwendung viele Vorteile hat. Der Anbau biologischer Baumwolle verbraucht weniger Wasser. Sollte es zum Schädlingsbefall kommen, werden ausschließlich biologische Mittel zur Bekämpfung verwendet. Zudem erfolgt die Düngung von Baumwolle organisch. Der umweltfreundliche Anbau ist vorteilhaft für die Menschen und Böden vor Ort, aber auch für dich und deine Haut. Das Material ist strapazierfähig, langlebig und luftdurchlässig.

Sustainability at Tranquillo

From the very beginning, Tranquillo has always been committed to fairness in dealing with partners. We have many years of experience with many of our manufacturers. Together we pursue our goals towards sustainability. On site we initiate concrete improvements in working conditions which have an impact on the quality of our products. We use organic cotton for our fashion collection and pay attention to the best mix of sustainable production and the longest possible durability of the garments in the material composition of our products.

Garments that we do not sell within a season get a second chance. Several times a year we organize a warehouse sale in our furniture warehouse in Dresden, where you have the opportunity to get a bargain from past collections. HERE you will learn more.

For the environment

We use LED lighting in our stores and offices. We use about six times less electricity and the LED lamps do not end up in hazardous waste at the end of their life. We choose the most environmentally friendly and efficient way to transport our products. Only in exceptional cases do we resort to air freight. Packages are lined with recycled material and cardboard boxes are reused several times. If they can no longer be used, we return them to the recycling cycle. We print our catalogs and flyers on recycled paper. It is important to us to treat our environment with consideration. This is not always easy in the fashion industry. As an ecologically oriented label, our customers naturally measure us against conventionally producing suppliers. We scrutinize our production steps, weigh up and orientate ourselves to our standards. In this way we initiate long-term changes with our manufacturers and remain dynamic ourselves. Together we develop further and contribute to a fair and environmentally conscious future.

Live more sustainable

It is particularly important to us to implement our sustainability standards in Lifestyle as well. All our carpets are certified with the GoodWeave seal. Our kitchen and bathroom textiles, cloth bags and cosmetic bags are made of soft organic cotton that is GOTS certified. Close contact with our manufacturers and regular on-site visits ensure that social standards such as fair wages and appropriate working hours are observed in the manufactories.

We are particularly proud of our fair trade soaps. These are made with love and from high-quality, natural ingredients. They are free of palm oil and we have also reduced our packaging design.
