LANIUS

LANIUS is a family-run fashion company based in Cologne. Claudia Lanius started it in 1999 and is still its designer, and she now runs it with her daughter Annabelle Homann. The brand designs two slow fashion collections a year, mainly for women, including trousers, knitwear, blouses, jackets and denim made from natural and certified materials. LANIUS is GOTS-certified and a member of the IVN. It mostly uses organic materials, alongside TENCEL and recycled polyester and polyamide. The wool it uses is mulesing-free, and its vegan pieces carry PETA-Approved Vegan certification. The company says its producers hold certifications such as GOTS, amfori BSCI and SA8000, or are audited by the Fair Wear Foundation. It also offers care, repair and resale services. Good On You rates LANIUS Good overall. Its planet score is Great, reflecting published material data, lower-impact materials, efforts to cut transport emissions and recycled packaging. Its people score is Good, although there is no evidence of living wages. Its animals score is It's a Start: the brand uses leather, wool, cashmere and alpaca, and Good On You says it has not verified the mulesing-free policy.
