Emmy is a freshly-baked clothing line for all colourful women! Emmy stands for feminine, well-fitted garments that embrace and enhance the female shape – just like in the good old days!

Emmy wants to slow down the pace of fashion and make clothes with style and quality that last as long as you´d like! We want to reclaim the star quality in fashion, and dissociate ourselves from todays´ throwaway culture with its´ negative environmental effects. Our goal is that each one of our garments should have the potential to be your new favourite piece!

Naturally grown bamboo, cotton, wool and hemp are special. They’re not only free from harmful pesticides and chemicals, they’re often softer, stronger. And they’re always far kinder to the environment. (Amazing, right?) That’s why we only use these fabrics to craft our clothing. And we only ever get them from responsible sources.
