Each brand has its own size guide (link on the product page). If in doubt:
- Order 2 sizes (return shipping is free) if needed
- Come to the store for a free fitting
- Contact us if you need help with sizing at contact@clother.ch
Each garment, depending on its construction, has its own care instructions. You will find these on the garment's product page, in the "Size and Care" section.
Generally speaking, in order to take care of your clothes, but also of the planet, the following rules most often apply:
- Wash at 30°C (or by hand)
- Avoid the dryer and prefer air drying
- Use mild detergents (without fabric softener).
Example: A recycled cashmere sweater lasts 2x longer when washed cold.
They are systematically put back on sale after inspection. And yes, our customers are careful, and returned clothes are always new!
In the very rare event that a garment is damaged:
If it is slightly damaged , we offer it at a reduced price in our store (because our customers always deserve the best, even at a low price!).
If it is no longer saleable, we give it to Geneva associations to give it a second life.
No garment will ever be thrown away at Clother!
Eco-responsibility
At Clother, we select our partner brands according to several strict criteria to guarantee you ethical, sustainable, and transparent clothing. The two main criteria are:
Local and responsible production (maximum radius 1500 km around Switzerland)
We favor brands that produce near us for:
- Ensuring optimal social and environmental conditions : Our partners adhere to strict standards regarding fair wages, workplace safety and the absence of forced labor.
- Limit the carbon footprint : By reducing transport distances (vs. Asia or America), we avoid emissions linked to air or sea freight.
- Avoid harsh chemical treatments : Clothing shipped from Asia often undergoes anti-fungal treatments (to protect it from moisture). By producing locally, we eliminate this risk to your health and the environment.

Eco-responsible and innovative materials
We require that the fabrics used are sustainable and respectful of the planet:
- Upcycling : Reusing fabrics destined for disposal (production scraps, unsold stock), transformed into new clothing without going through an energy-intensive recycling process. Example: Our recycled wool sweaters.
- Recycling : Fibers from end-of-life clothing , crushed and reworked to create new materials (e.g., recycled cashmere, recycled polyester).
- Low carbon footprint raw materials :
• GOTS certified organic cotton (pesticide-free, 90% less water than conventional cotton).
• Lyocell/Tencel (biodegradable plant fiber, made from wood from sustainably managed forests).
• Flax and hemp (low-water crops, without chemical fertilizers).
Complete guide to eco-friendly materials: which one to choose?
Bonus: Our additional commitment
Beyond these criteria, we also check:
- Transparency: Our partner brands communicate openly about their production chains and their environmental impacts .
- Durability: The clothes are designed to last over time (reinforced seams, resistant materials).
- Innovation: We support brands that develop green technologies (waterless dyes, biodegradable fibers, etc.).
By choosing brands that meet these standards, you
- Support a local and fair economy.
- Reduce your carbon footprint (vs. fast fashion).
- Wear healthy clothes , without toxic products.
- Contribute to a more sustainable future for the planet.
