Komodo: pioneer in sustainable fashion with a rebellious edge
If there is one brand that shows that sustainable fashion doesn’t have to be boring, it’s Komodo. Since 1988, these original rebels have been at the forefront when it comes to fair fashion. And at Natur-el, we are fans — because Komodo does things just a little differently. Or you could say: completely differently.
Born from a backpack in Bali, shaped by British youth culture, and grown through a love for travel, people, and materials. Komodo is not your average fashion brand, but a story of friendship, adventure, and activism. Back in the eighties, they were already working with hemp fibers, organic cotton, and cruelty-free wool. They collaborated with local makers in Indonesia, Nepal, and India, transformed traditional techniques into something completely new, and made sustainable clothing long before the word "eco" became a buzzword.
Today, Komodo still makes sustainable clothing for men and women, designed in London and handcrafted in small workshops in Asia. Think of dresses, coats, skirts, trousers, knitwear, T-shirts, jackets, and accessories like socks, scarves, and hats. All made from natural, organic, and recycled materials. Without plastic packaging. Without mass production. Without greenwashing. Simply the way it should be.
What I personally love about Komodo? They make clothes with a message, but with style. Their pieces are bold, outspoken, and timeless all at once. Think: minimalist with a raw edge. And always with the environment and fair production in mind. The collections are GOTS-certified, they are partners of Common Objective, and they donate via 1% For The Planet. That is what taking responsibility really means.
And another fun thing: at Komodo, they love a bit of grit. They aren’t afraid to voice their opinion. About pollution, fast fashion, greenwashing… Komodo speaks their mind. And that fits perfectly with how we think at Natur-el: style is beautiful, but it has to be right — on the inside and the outside.
So, are you looking for natural clothing with character? A sustainable brand that has been carving its own path since '88? Then Komodo is the right choice for you. Their clothing is fairtrade produced, made from organic fabrics, and designed to last. Responsible underwear or head-to-toe in natural base layers and outerwear? You'll find a great selection at Natur-el in Rotterdam — and of course in our webshop as well.
And oh yes, just like with all our brands: it is best to wash consciously. Many of the materials are suitable for delicate washes, preferably cold or at low temperatures. Would you like some advice? We are happy to help you. Because clothing that has been made with love also deserves love in the wash.
