Why it belongs in ORBIS
Copenhagen menswear label founded 2018 by Ulrik Pedersen and Alan Blond; its jeans use GOTS-certified organic cotton woven in Italy and washed at a family-run factory in Ancona.
Sunflower is a Copenhagen menswear label founded in 2018 by Ulrik Pedersen and Alan Blond, built around understated, quality-driven basics - tailoring, denim and knitwear - rather than seasonal trend pieces. Its denim uses 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton sourced from Japan and Italy, developed with an older, more environmentally focused Italian mill; the washing and production take place at a family-owned factory in Ancona using treatments aimed at reducing energy, water and chemical use. The brand's fits draw on 1990s vintage denim silhouettes, and it has shown collections at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
