The designer Pauline Treis (based in Zürich) started to develop the brand with a community of urban and rural artisans in 2013. The work with Jungle Folk enables the sustainable development of artisans, increases their incomes and improves their skills. Jungle Folk only uses sustainable and certified materials such as organic cotton, linen, silk and wool for the clothing and recycled and natural materials for accessories.
Jungle Folk employ artisans and sewers in Medellin, Colombia who work in small workshops in the barrios of the city. Mostly we work with women heads of family.
Jungle Folk is a clothing line that doesn’t go with the trend of launching multiple seasonal collections every year. They see sustainability in the longevity and quality of a design and present a carefully designed line of wardrobe classics.
