Why ÉPONGE?
The literal meaning is French for sponge and refers to the absorbency of terry cloth. ÉPONGE was born out of a vision to create durable and functional clothing without compromising on appearance. With irresistible comfort and timeless design, all our garments are made of double-sided organic cotton terry on a small scale in the hope of guiding responsible consumers in the right direction.
Why Portugal?
We value the durability and longevity of our garments and therefore we chose to manufacture in Porto, Portugal, an area well known for its high-quality cotton terry. Portugal is also known for providing ethical working conditions and delivering quality craftsmanship. Although it is not Sweden's next-door neighbour, we appreciate being able to transport our production by truck and foremost European laws and policies concerning fair Labour practices being followed.
How does your sizing work?
In our small-scale production, we chose to create our own system consisting of two sizes. However, with diversity and inclusion in mind when we designed every fit. The majority of our garments carry an oversized fit but naturally, depending on height and width, they will look different on every body which is the beauty of individuality.
Size I approximately correspond to;
European women's sizes 34 and 36 for an oversized look and size 38 for a normal fit.
European men's size 46 for an oversized look and size 48 for a normal fit.
Size II approximately correspond to;
European women's sizes 38 and 40 for an oversized look and size 42 for a normal fit.
European men's sizes 48 for an oversized look, size 50 for a normal fit and size 52 for a slim fit.
See each individual garment for specific measurements. We continuously to work to be able to offer a wider range of sizes and as our production reaches large volumes, we hope to be able to present a collection that does not exclude anyone.
