A Deep Dive Into Sustainable Summer Styling with Olistic the Label

Olistic The Label

Founded in 2019, Olistic The Label was born out of a desire to create fashion that is both durable and elegant. Their collections are versatile and distinguish themselves with timeless, seasonless beauty.

Olistic offers a new sustainable definition of the feminine wardrobe, combining minimalist silhouettes with a contemporary bohemian touch. Light and airy, muslin tops, skirts and dresses caress the skin with sensuality while the palette of ecru to taupe shades recalls the organic roots of their collections. The fluid and wide cuts promote comfort and freedom of movement without compromising elegance.

Inspired by the adjective “holistic” Olistic the Label suggests a totality, a life cycle where the human being lives in harmony with his environment.

Fabrics

Olistic’s collections are made of 100% natural and biodegradable fibers that are GOTS-certified (Global Organic Textile Standard). This independent label is a promise of organic fashion that controls all stages of their production to guarantee the low environmental impact of their brand.

Natural fibers do not generate any toxic substances for our health and that of our planet. When a synthetic fabric is washed, thousands of microplastics are discharged into waste water. These particles are later ingested by marine species and human populations.

Choosing natural organic fibers means promoting a garment that is more respectful of the Earth at every stage of its lifecycle: from its production and washing to its destruction.

Olistic use a range of natural and innovative fibres such as Peace Silk, Lyocell (wood fibres), Virgin Wool, Geelong Merino Wool as well as Upcycled Leather and other deadstock fabrics from the luxury industry.

Production

Olistic The Label is a French brand that supports innovative and sustainable European manufacturing by producing its collections in Northern Portugal. Their clothes are carefully crafted in a sewing atelier ensuring high-end finishes as well as perfect quality.

How to Style For Different Occasions -

At The Beach – 

Being the no.1 prerequisite to a well-lived summer, we wanted to share our favourite Olistic pieces to wear at the beach. Inspired by she she retreats Deia, Mallorca getaways, our easy, breezy choices for relaxing at the beach is the Filia Crochet Cardigan and Camellia Dress. Both pieces are made of fine pima cotton, hand-crocheted with patience and dexterity by a community of women artisans in Lima.

A Date Night – 

Inspired by the beautiful and oh-so romantic Villa Lena, are some very special Olistic pieces made with their signature Upcycled and Peace Silk. The Kai Upcycled Silk Maxi Dress is made from Upcycled Silk and the Pāpiliō Organic Peace Silk Top is made from 100% natural & GOTS certified organic Ahimsa or ‘Peace’ Silk, a silk extracted through non-violent methods to avoid harming silkworms in the process.

En Provence – 

The epitome of a truly blissful summer, is a summer en Provence. The Organic Cotton Mizu Dress and the Oryza Organic Dress both reflect the versatility of their inspiration Hôtel Weekend who are a conscious travel collective highlighting some of the most aesthetic eco hotels in any place you could dream of, including Provence of course. Both pieces are made using 100% GOTS certified organic cotton.

A Special Event – 

Any summer event calls for a white linen coordinating set. We love the idea of attending an evening event at Potato Head, Bali wearing all white, feeling our best selves and ready to party! The Lapis Blazer in Ecru with Paru White Linen Trousers is the combination we’ve dreamed of. As an alternative to the Lapis Blazer, Olistic also have their Sheru Linen Blazer for a just as lovely style alternative!
