Quality stamps, licenses and certifications

Lillelam has been selected as one of only two companies globally to be official brand partner for The Woolmark Company in their latest program and license focusing on high quality wool products for children; Woolmark Nurture.

All collections and products are Oeko-tex standard 100 class 1 certified as part of the company’s environmental profile. Merino wool is the natural raw material that has the industry’s highest environmental score for processing and production. All our manufacturing is done by carefully selected high-end partners, following NICE’s codes of conduct in relation to human rights and labor conditions.

The yarn used by Lillelam is a Total Easy Care treated yarn, which is a resin based process and does not cover the wool fiber in plastic. Our highly regulated Oeko-Tex Standard 100,Class 1 license regulates the all the processes of our yarn in regards of the use of harmful substances.

The design is a substantial element in all our collections and emphasizes nostalgic elements from the local knitting traditions blended into a more modern expression. The lines are timeless and classical, with focus on the child`s movement, growth and comfort with advanced technological solutions such as seamless knitwear. The colors are carefully selected with our Italian yarn suppliers and are exclusive made for Lillelam. Many of our styles have hand-made details such as embroidery or crocheting which distinguish our collections from the mass production brands.

All the collections are designed by our in-house design team, led by the founder and owner; Pernille Siem

All decisions we make, throughout the value chain, are carefully reviewed according to our sustainable and ethical values. We are a slow fashion brand at every level and hope to be a part of your sustainable choices.

Mulesing is a method that involves the removal of strips of wool-bearing skin from around the buttocks of a sheep during shearing. This is done to prevent a fly strike, which are parasites that might poison the animal. It is a traditional method, but research is being done to come up with new and better methods. Until then, it is possible to buy yarn from exclusive suppliers that offer a guarantee that Mulesing has not been used. With focus on the welfare of animals and the safety of the consumers, Lillelam will only use yarn from Mulesing free sheep farms.
