Organic Cotton T-Shirts with Unique Prints

At Studio Catta, our boutique atelier in Amsterdam, it’s the perfect time to explore sustainable fashion with our collection of T-shirts.

We offer a diverse range of organic cotton shirts, each crafted with care and certified by Fair Wear to ensure ethical production standards. Every shirt is adorned with a uniquely designed print designed by Studio Catta.

These designs are meticulously cut and applied one layer at a time, right here in the studio, and then fixated using heat and pressure for long-lasting quality.

The result is a high-quality shirt with a vibrant, machine-washable print that stands the test of time. Our T-shirts come in a variety of sizes, from XS to XXL, and are available in different fits to suit every style preference.

Slowfashion Amsterdam | Timeless Sustainable Fashion at Studio Catta

🌿 Slowfashion Amsterdam 🌿

At our boutique atelier in the historic heart of Amsterdam, we define sustainable fashion by creating classics.

Slowfashion means embracing timeless, well-crafted designs that stand the test of time.

In the fast-paced world of fastfashion, new collections flood in every season, leading to massive waste as unsold items are quickly discarded to make room for the next batch.

At Studio Catta, we reject this cycle. We don’t follow seasonal trends. Instead, we create, wear, test, and refine our designs until they become classic favorites that elevate your style year after year.

Take our classic A-line skirt, for example. It’s been a staple in our collection for over a decade. While the fabrics may change, the original pattern, developed using the moulage technique, remains the same. This technique allows us to envision and perfect the design in 3D before transforming it into a 2D pattern, ensuring a perfect fit and flow. Our A-line skirt is beloved by many, with some customers owning multiple versions because of how beautifully it moves with their body. And the best part? This skirt is ALWAYS available in our studio.

Embracing Slow Fashion: Where Stories and Styles Meet

Embracing Slow Fashion: Where Stories and Styles Meet

Slow fashion, for me, is all about the connections between the maker and the customer. In my studio, conversations are a cherished daily occurrence. We delve into the origins of fabrics, the craftsmanship behind each garment, and the essence of sustainable fashion. And quite often, we talk about cats. The cat prints scattered throughout my studio spark joy among cat-loving customers, leading to delightful exchanges of photos and stories about our beloved pets.

Recently, a raven print has joined the collection, bringing with it a wave of captivating stories about this fascinating bird. These moments remind me that clothing does more than cover our skin—it sparks conversations and connections.

In the end, slow fashion is about more than just clothes. It’s about taking the time to share and celebrate the stories behind them, making each piece truly special.

Decolonial Fashion Residency

Last week, I had the honor of spending time with a remarkable and inspiring group of individuals at the Decolonial Fashion Residency, organized by Fashionclash in Maastricht. This topic is very close to my heart and my slow fashion studio in Amsterdam.

We had two inspiring speakers: Sandra Niessen from the research collective Decoloniality and Fashion, and Zinzi de Brouwer from Studio Palha.

The week was filled with personal stories, backgrounds, and thoughtful discussions. We also worked hands-on with a special piece of cloth from the Linen Project.

Now back home, we are still processing the experiences from those days. The story continues as the cloth travels with the different makers who participated.

The impact on my work and others’ will reveal itself in time.
