The founder, René, started the brand to offer shirts that combine timeless style and comfort with natural materials and European production. The brand works with organic cotton, linen, wool and recycled cotton, and says no synthetic fibres go into its collections. It also offers Tencel flannel pieces and a Bananatex edition made from abaca banana plant fibre.

Customers can try pieces at its showroom in St. Gallen or at retailers. Good On You rates CARPASUS Good overall. It scores Great for planet, It's a Start for people and Good for animals.
